Another one bites the dust...

Finished two more quilt tops for the local VA...have two more almost finished but my sewing machine died!  Duh!

Blocks made by various guild members and assembled by me

Not to worry...I have multiple backups.  I just have to wait until my husband comes home to help with the lifting!

Orphan block with 6 inch blocks

This makes me wonder if I shouldn't find a corner of the room to keep an backup machine...or a machine that I just leave the walking foot on!  I hate putting those on and off the machine but they do make sewing on binding so much easier!  It's a thought!

Daylilly from the front Garden...

Watson has finally adjusted to the room.  We had been strict about his going in the room when the workmen where here.  Seems it made an impact and for the past week or so he just could not get comfortable...I tried everything.

the view from my sewing machine...

Gave him treats...set up a bed...at the end it just took time.

He has reason to be a bit anxious today...there are workmen in the yard trying to fix drainage in our back yard and putting down pine-straw...a bit late but we had to wait until the construction was finished.

The squirrels or the moving water rearranged some of my perennials...I never planted a yellow Asiatic lilly (but I have one now!) and this daylilly above was labeled blue...hummmm.  I hope to see a blue one somewhere in the garden this summer!

summer is here....

The summer heat has finally arrived here in Georgia.  The daylillies and the gardenias love it (my front walk smells like the make-up counters in a department store!)

I however hunker down and do lots of stitching.  I only venture out before sunrise and after sunset...well, not everyday but most days.

Today I went up to a small town in South Carolina for a quilting meeting.  I sat right in front of the largest fan in the church.   I still came home wiped out from the heat!

I continue to unearth more fun stuff from the sewing room closet...

this is an antique to I haven't looked at for a long while...

great collection of fabrics in it.  Very scrappy and graphic. The black with the pink "comas" sort of takes over the blocks so you have to look closely.  This is one of those quilts I'd like to use as inspiration some day for a quilt...could be fun!  (think I'll leave out the black and pink though!)

Daylilly, a finish and a find!

The heat has me and my MS hiding indoors this weekend...just hope it isn't for the rest of the summer.

My eyes are a bit wonky (went to an outdoor auction last week and got way overheated) so today I spent time sorting fabric in my sewing room...can't believe I unearthed another box from our last move! Bit of a mystery here...what was I planning on doing with over 150 3-inch four-patches? I have no memory of sewing these but they are made up of my regular fabrics so I guess I must have...but why?! humm....

I also found this table runner top...this I remember! I found a back for it and may quilt it up tomorrow. It will be nice for the summer...
I do have a finish! I made this little quilt for my sister to take to a conference this summer. They collect blankets at "crafter's court" and donate them to a local hospital...this will be her donation!My daylillies are putting on quiet a show...there are at least a dozen different colors in bloom right now. The blooms below are about 6 inches across each so lots of color!
I want to use a couple of the daylilly photos to make an "art" quilt...stay tuned for my latest project!
