Thoroughly Thursday


The weeks are just zipping along here.  Here we are in the middle of July already.

After working on the Trifle Dish QAL, I thought many of the rows would make great little table runners.  With July’s RSC14 color of red, I decided to make some red posies.

These became this making a nice 16x46” table runner.  It's been a great year for fabric selecting from my scrap bins.

That is about all of the sewing that I got done this week with houseguests and celebrating our country’s Independence Day.

Our quilt guild had Gyleen Fitzgerald come and speak this week.  She was a great speaker – so witty and a wonderful quilt show too.  I had participated in her Pineapple Challenge about four years ago and enjoyed her technique.  You can see my Pineapple Quilt here.

I’ve had some exciting mail lately that I must share.  First was a win from Sherri of A Quilting Life.  These gorgeous fabrics arrived in my mailbox.  The colors are soooo pretty.   The fabric is Moda Printemps Pond.

As well, I was the lucky winner of three Gigi's Thimbles patterns at A Little Bit Biased.  I really think I need to try the Fresh Cut design as I think I have a few granddaughters who would claim it right away.   Thanks, Amber.

Onwards with July!

Rows and Road

How’s that for a title???  Before we hit the road I managed to get my blocks made for the current row in the Moda Bake Shop Trifle QAL.  I did not sew them together as I wanted to contemplate the arrangement while we were gone.  Do I do them mixed up or matched???

With blocks bouncing around in my mind, we headed off to Northern California for our grandson’s wedding.  Since our SIL could not make the trip we took our daughter and their four little ones in our car.  These were the smiles before the nearly 500 miles/ 9 hour drive.  We made many stops to “stretch our legs”, but it is still a long time to be buckled in car seats.

The wedding was beautiful and the happy couple is now off on their own.

Coming home, I jumped back into the QAL.  It is a very fast moving QAL with a new row coming out every other day.  Mine is all done using scraps that I have.
