I haven’t gotten much work done on my blue scraps the last couple weeks because of personal stuff & I’ve been working on this mini Brightly tabletopper. I got it all put together, then quilted it yesterday, so when I’m done with my current binding, I’ll get this done for my table. I’m going to make a mini runner with the extra row for our sideboard. Eventually.
I got a few more wonky Lori Holt paper pieced hearts made, plus some red that didn’t get done in February. Still need to make a few more, plus some other RSC projects in blue.
I spent the last couple days pounding out 36 blocks for the charity block drive at Many Hands and Many Hearts. You can still get in on the Two Step fun, as she’s accepting blocks until mid-August. I’m still trying to use up the fall colored fabrics I was given & said I would use for donations. This is the second charity block drive I’ve used them & still have more for next year!
I used blue scraps for this week’s quilt group blocks from the book, “Sampler Spree” by Susan Ache, so it’s appropriate for June.
I also started the Summer Block Party with the Popsicles. Try as I might, that really thin background fabric made the popsicles wonky. Maybe they are melting in the hot summer sun? LOL
Awesome use of your scraps! The mini Brightly project is beautiful.
Lots of fun things going on in your swing room! I love the tabletopper – such pretty colors. And the popsicles are fabulous! I’ve been meaning to make some of those blocks for Cynthia, too – time to go dig out the fall fabric.
It is true that Metro slowed down trains due to high temperatures in the Washington DC area. Your popsicles stand no chance. That is my story and I am sticking to it 🙂
However the wonkiness takes nothing away from their cuteness! Stay cool.
Wow, that’s a lot of cute Two Step blocks! I remember we made those in one of our Quilts for Kids workshops last year. That reminds me, are you going to QFK today? It would be nice to see you again, but I’ll only be there for an hour or so, and you sound so busy! Love your red, white and blue sewing. Have a wonderful Fourth! XO
LOVE that Brightly table topper and the future runner, Sue!! You got a LOT of other sewing done, too. Go, you, with those awesome donation blocks to use up more of your Autumn prints!
You’ve done such a lot of stitching so far, great work.
Oh WOW!! I love the Brightly table topper. It is simply gorgeous! The runner will be so pretty too. Cluck, Cluck, Sew is one of my favorite designers.
