I usually am off from work on Sunday and Monday and those are the two days I get to do the most sewing. I thought I would show you what I worked on this week. Next week I am on vacation and I don't plan to go anywhere. That means lots of sewing time for me!
So here is what I am working on:
This is the first green block for August in the Sunday Morning Quilts Bee. I took out my green scrap bin, and when I started pulling scraps, I decided that there were two types: soft, mellow green and modern, bright green. So I decided they would look better if I made two different blocks. I like each one for its self.
Here is the bright green block...you can see how different it looks and feels from the other one.
This is a summer weight quilt I am working on. It is made with Lawn fabric from Connecting Threads.
Crazy Mom Quilts made a king size quilt using this same fabric. Mine will be much smaller. The fabric is so soft. I love it.
I finally cut into my Summersville jelly roll. I knew I wanted to do some 2.5 inch squares, but I hadn't figured out a layout. Now, thanks to
Camille, I know what to do. I just need to get some Kona White for the sashing, but I started sewing the strips together.
I also have 4 quilt tops and their backs waiting to be quilted next week. I am going to allow myself to buy batting for them. It's not fabric after all and I don't have a stash of it. We will see how far I get. I will let you know.

Have a great week.

I dont have the book, but i enjoyed looking at your scraps, especially the yellow and blue log cabin, it was so pretty. do any other members of your family quilt? i do all my piecing and quilting by hand and my 36 year old daughter decided she had enough patience to learn. around the same time, i had a brain anurysm, since my daughter lived over 7 hours away, she quit her state job and moved in to take care of me. tragically, she died in my arms from a blood clot to her lung just four days later.
i love the fact that you are not afraid of color. hope you get to quilt during your vacation babscorbitt@gmail.com
The blocks look great! I want to get some of that CT lawn - I was looking through my catalog at it the other night, but haven't ordered any yet. Love that Summersville!
Oh, I also wanted to staying home for a week and sewing is my idea of a vacation!!
