The rows are all assembled, but my considerable stash offered up nothing suitable for borders or backing. Guess this calls for a little armchair shopping.
On the quilt scene, I must admit that I joined in on the Temecula Quilt Shop SAL,
God Bless America.This is their finished quilt, photo from their blog...
How could I resist? I have been diligently, for the most part, stitching along on the 888, 2” finished, half square triangles required. I am about 3/4 of the way done with them. And thus far I have only used scraps from my scrap saver system. Makes trimming up all of those scraps worthwhile!
Speaking of the scrap saver system, one of Christi’s quilting friends hands off her scraps to me. She uses fabrics that are usually quite different from what I purchase and add a little interest to my stash.
Here is one of SA’s Senior pics.
Quite different from our stiffly posed pics in formal drapes!!
Robert and Jermaine are getting along famously.
Enjoying a few days of rainfall and cooler weather here. Boy, do our gardens need it.
Isn’t it the truth???
Take Care,
