Aunt Sukey Spins Off is in the Making

I’ve had precious little time for anything but the day job.  Never the less, I am spending that precious little time in the sewing studio.

I am working on Aunt Sukey Spins Off…my entry in SewCalGal’s Red and White Quilt Challenge.

I had better lighting for this second picture.

I’m lovin’ the Island Batik fabrics that I am using!  Thank you Island Batik!

Columbia River Time

Hubby and I had time together!  We chose to ignore the chores, pack up the canoe and head for the river.

It was a great choice!

Could it be any calmer?

I put the paddle down, and simply drank it all in.  It felt great to relax in the sunshine!

A Great Blue Heron was fishing on the sandbar.

Why did I leave the big camera home???

Sitting Pretty – Finished!

Slow and steady wins the race.  I can take Sitting Pretty off of my UFO list.  Hooray!

Sweetness isn’t normally something I would want to make, so it must be the floral theme of the design that attracted me to it.

In any case, I enjoyed working the hand embroidery, and the wall hanging turned out cute.

A few close ups:

Hmmmm.

As I upload these photos, I see that I forgot to add a few button embellishments.  I’ll take care of that soon.
