This and That

I saw Pat Sloan’s beach bucket banner and I thought it was pretty cute for summer.

I dropped everything and made one.

Since I don’t have any beach buttons in my stash, I’ll be making a little shopping trip to see if I can find any.

Then this banner will be gifted.

Mom lives about 1-1/2 hours away, so Hubby and I packed a bag and spent a couple of days at my older sister’s home.

We had plans.

Condo painting plans!

Some family members got together and made Mom’s wish a reality!

It was work, but because the family made this happen together, we had lots of fun, too.

Mom says she hasn’t heard that much laughter in quite a while!

It turned out to be a great way to spend the holiday week!

Mom took a few pics. Older Sis and her daughter are hard at work the day before we got there.

Mom had a tough time choosing colors, and decided to go bold!

For the curious, I made the wall hanging quite a few years ago. It is my interpretation of Mom’s high school graduation photo.

Sis and I taking a break out in front of Mom’s condo. We are a couple of grey heads now, hopefully wise ones. Ha!

All of the hen party blocks are not only fused, but stitched and squared up as well!

Have Fun and Quilt On!

Hen Party Update 3

All ten Hen Party blocks are fused.

That was the easy and fun part.

The next part of the process will be to stitch the applique to the background.

That may take a while.

Since it is summer, and the great outdoors beckons. Are you in your sewing studio or outdoors? I know some of you can take your sewing machines out to sew on your deck. I love that!

I don’t dare. Just the other day, I was minding my own business…enjoying a book on the chaise under the oak tree, when it happened. Plop! Yup. A little birdie pooped on me!

I expect that is more than you wanted to know.

Anyway…too many little birdies around for me to take my sewing project out there.

I do, however, still take my books out to enjoy an afternoon of reading.

All ten blocks:

Ignore those other blocks on the design wall. They have nothing to do with the hens.
