On A Whim...


 


I’ve been itching to make a fresh start on a project and came across this sew-along sponsored by Joanna Figueroa of Fig Tree and Company.  It checked several boxes:  small project, simple and repetitive pattern, large pieces, and a fabric collection I find a refreshing switch for summer television time in my comfy chair.  Having a die cutter certainly helped me get past the  cutting stage. I will be pairing these prints with neutrals for the background.

 


The schedule calls for us to make 20 blocks a week starting tomorrow, so technically I’m still on schedule.  Of course, there are many who are not only ahead of schedule, but already have finished tops.  I will take it with me tomorrow when I sew with my Tuesday group, though there's no way I'll get all 20 done then.

 


The hibiscus on the front porch is starting to bloom.

 


I encountered this guy on a recent walk.  He's a medium size one and not at all interested in posing for a picture.

 


Peek-a-Boo!


Everything is so very fresh and green right now.  I've been meaning to get a picture of the fields that are now filled with yellow wildflowers, but haven't managed to do so yet.  We will be having temperatures in the 90s all week.

Those are really pretty prints for your bowties! Your hibiscus makes me want to go to Lowe's and get one - so pretty. That's a pretty big turtle!
