Last week’s Splendid Sampler block was called For the Love by Sharon Burgess.  It was inspired by flowers in her garden.  Sharon does paper  piecing and this piece was supposed to be English paper pieced. I  have been working on the Grandmother’s Flower Garden quilt for a long time,  It is English paper pieced and I did not want to make another block in that method.  I copied the pattern four times and the reverse four times, combined them into one piece and then used the leftover fused fabric from Melissa’s quilt.  The pieces were button hole stitched on the machine.  It was quick and easy.

This week’s Splendid Sampler block should be published tomorrow.  This week’s Moda Blockhead 2 block was published today.  I’ll sew them tomorrow and then I will be done for this week.

Today, I flipped from one project to another.  Nothing was finished, but a lot was accomplished,  It is raining and should rain most of the night,  It will be too wet to work in the garden tomorrow.  Maybe, I can finish something.

Have a great day and happy quilting.

 

I finished the Moda Blockhead 2 block of the week today.  It is the eighth block.  I should get another pattern tomorrow or Thursday. Then I’ll have to hurry and catch up again.   Last week, we had a choice of an appliqued or pieced  pineapple block.  I didn’t like the appliqued block , so I made the pieced block.  I’m enjoying the small Moda blocks.  Every week they are different sizes.

I’ve been working on the Grandmother’s Flower Garden quilt.  It is almost pieced.  I can see the end.  It seems as if I’ve been working on it forever.

The second quilt that is made from Kimberly Einmo’s book is pieced. The first border is on.  I’ve put it away for now.  The fabric that I want for the second and third borders is in N. H.  I’ll add the borders when I go to N. H. the next time.

I also did some much needed garden work.  It is hot outside so I only work out there for a short period of time. It’s much nicer sitting on the swing and doing hand work.   It’s time to separate some bulbs and make the gardens more manageable.  I’m watching the yellow and green beans.  They should be ready in a week or two.  The peas have gone by,  The tomatoes are green.  I keep looking for a red one.

The home grown vegetables in the summer are wonderful.

Have a great day and happy quilting.
