I'm almost glad it's Monday. I get to spend most of the day in air conditioning. Kiddo had an outdoor swim meet last weekend, so we spent the last couple of days out in the 106 to 110 F heat. That meet ends her long course season, so we'll get a few weekends at home. Hopefully I can get in several hours of serious sewing next weekend.
I have been sneaking in 30 minutes to an hour of sewing most evenings. I've made some headway on the Flurry quilt.
But I'm way behind Larri, Marg and Shay in this quit along. If I do get a chance for significant sewing next weekend, this is the project I'll be tackling. I did work some on the GFG quilt while sitting out in the heat this weekend, but not enough to finish a block.
What's up on your design wall? Check out Patchwork Times for more quilty goodness.
I, too, love this quilt. It looks pretty easy to do and a great way to use up leftover Christmas fabric. This looks like a Christmas gift to me. Thanks.
Kate, your gift boxes are beautiful! I think the red-bowed box with the cardinals in the trees is my favorite. ☺ You did way more than expected given your busy swim weekend. At this pace, you'll be finished quilting before I get the top sandwiched!
Happy Monday evening! ☺ Hope it cools down. Alas, it's 96° and HUMID here in SC.
Your Christmas boxes are looking fabulous, i love all the combinations, it's going to look wonderful when it's finished. Don't worry about catching up to me, I won't be doing any sewing for the next 7 days so you will have time to catch up and probably streak ahead.
