Thursday? It's already Thursday? How did THAT happen?
The week has just flown by and I haven't really accomplished too much. I did finish this orphan quilt ...
There's a little yellow flange that looks wavy - it is. I intentionally flipped it back and forth while quilting. Not sure I love the look but I thought the blue needed a bit of color separation. This orphan was a real challenge. There weren't a lot of completed blocks, just bits and pieces. Not bad overall!
And ... because I'm such a glutton for stress - here's the next set of projects I'm going to do ...
In case you didn't notice - yes, that's Christmas fabric you're looking at! I'm going to make a few shop samples for And Sew It Goes. My "have to" sewing isn't finished but, what the heck ... why not add in some Christmas sewing?!
AND ... I thought I might like to try my hand at using a drop spindle. My friend Starlyn (who owns but doesn't use this piece of equipment) will be away for the month of July. I'm borrowing it and have a month to master it.
Today isn't a sewing day (much like the rest of this week) - errands and a little grandkid babysitting, but first ...
I'm finshing my coffee! These cute and large (YAY!) mugs were a gift from my friend Terri. She thought several quilting lessons (most via the phone!) earned me a present. Isn't she sweet! Another example - it's great hanging around people who "get you."

Not only is it Thursday, it's the end of JUNE!!!!
Well, get you! The orphan quilt is marvelous! How do you manage to find all those blocks that match all the time? I like the wavy thing -- sort of like that edge you put on one of your vests, right? Can't wait to see the shop samples! Hope you'll show and tell.
