Busy

This has a been a busy summer.  Between sewing, gardening, harvesting and preserving and trips, I haven't made the time to share on the blog.  

I've been working on a UFO Challenge with "Country Threads" and I have the top done and it is sandwiched and ready to be quilted.  

And the next project is #3, which is a quilt kit I made up with my dog fabrics and a Villa Rosa Pattern called "Pacific Grove".  I'm hoping it goes together fast.  And I want to take it to the finish line this month, meaning all quilted and binding complete and it's ready to use.

I have a 2 fabric bargello top ready for the borders.  Love how this turned out.

And all the way to the finish line is this "Turning Twenty" from book No. 8.

I used fabrics from my bin of florals. It will be so fun to have my own flower bed in the house this winter.  

And now a look at the real flowers in my gardens.
