Everything About It..

I love this bright yellow color...

I think it's called Mimosa.

I love a linen hand towel.

I love that there is a loop for hanging

(though, in this bathroom there no hook to hang it on).

I love that linen dries quickly.

I love that this is something I made.

I put in a 1.5 inch hem all around.   And, mitered corners....

I made a second towel.

For the kitchen...a dishtowel.

This towel has narrower hems.

And, I put the hanging loop across a corner.

I did replace the monkey wrench (block 6)

with a different brown print.

I am hoping to get the last 3 blocks done today so that I can start working on that big 8 inch hst border.

Easter Evening...

 I hope you all had a Blessed Easter!

It was quiet around here.

I managed to get some sewing in.

Here are the pieced blocks to go

with stitchery block 6...

 

(I apologize for the sad state of my stitchery pieces.

They are obviously in desperate need of pressing!)

I also had time today to cut all the

pieces for the next set of blocks.

It surprises me how quickly

I am getting these done. 

But, you know...

when working on these blocks, 

 I think that I spend as much time

choosing the fabrics and cutting the pieces

as I do sewing them together! 

ohwell...I am having fun!

Have a great work week!

Stitchin' and Readin' and Nappin'...

 Another quiet day.

Read.

Finished Block 6 of the 'Snow Days' quilt.
(aren't those little boys just too dang cute??)

Took a nap.

(Actually, I think I took 2 naps today!)

Trimmed Tag's nails.

Brushed Tag.

(and that was enough energy expended, for sure!) 

Received this fat quarter bundle

in the mail from big sister, Joyce.

 Cute and bright, hey?

That's all!

Red & Aqua Strings...

It was a pretty quiet day around here.

It rained part of the day.

I read.

I stitched on block 6 of the 'Snow Days' project.
(it's a small block and it's almost done!)

I took a nap.  

I put together these two blocks for the

'aqua and red block swap' that I am in.

Shanna asked for 2 string blocks
to be made using this tutorial.

They were fun to make!

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 August is my month...

for those in the swap to make blocks for me.

When I get them back, I will post photos.
