What a summer is was! Blazing hot, extremely dry. Certainly nót the weather in which I thrive…..and absolutely not suitable temperatures to quilt.
The 5 and 6 year old ladies came to stay for a couple of nights, at the beginning of the summer holidays and came back with their 2 year old sister, at the end of it. Ofcourse, they completely took over my sewingroom. The 5 year old had fun in decorating the design wall with meticulously cut out little pieces of paper.
Bigger artwork had to be displayed too, ofcourse!
But now that autumn is descending and thunderstorms bring the much needed water, temperatures going down to a much better 21 C , I háve to go back to quilting. I only finished 1 GrannySquare; I have one more to quilt and a third ….you can see some blocks for that scattered amongst the artwork….
So I picked up where I left,
…working my way to the fav block ( pink ánd unicorns, I couldn’t go wrong here)While watching the first part of the Queen ‘s final journey on my iPad next to me.
Love your design wall. My is a hasily thrown up length of flannel. I would like it to be as elegant as yours! It's been fun seeing your granny square quilt develop! My 20 year old granddaughter wants to learn to quilt. Unfortunately, she's several states removed and busy with her studies but, since they involve art, she has already used the tools I sent her for art projects involving fabric. Enjoy your little ones - before you can blink, they'll be 20 too....
