After making 6 purple hollow nine patch blocks last week, I took out the bag of blocks that I have made so far this year and discovered that I had enough to make a baby quilt. I took them to the guild sewing day this week and laid them out on the design wall as shown above. I sewed them together and today, pin basted it and started the quilting--diagonal lines in both directions through each square.
I'm using 28wt white thread in the top and 50 wt white in the bobbin. The backing was in my stash.
I added most of the red border to my rug hooking project this week.
And more rows were added to the scarf --it is 60" long now. I will knit until I run out of wool in the little ball in the picture.
There are lots of butterflies in our garden these days...Today's picture is a Red Admiral. Its wings look a bit worse for wear.
Can you handle another bee picture?
My hanging baskets are very purple this year.
Finn and my daughter went home this week. Finn loved being outside in the backyard while he was here. The redbud tree in this picture had major storm damage this week when the trunk split and half the tree came down. It may need to be removed which makes me sad as I love the pink blossoms in the spring and the vibrant green colour of the leaves in the summer.
Now that my daughter is home, she is trying to get caught up on her book blanket granny squares. Here are her June squares and the books she read. She promised to have the July squares and books ready for next week's post. Finn is a reluctant granny square model tonight.
I will link up with Kathy, Frederique, and Angela.
