#44 - Stitch in the Garden - These embroidered blocks have been lovely to work on this summer.
#45 - Sewing Nut - We have red squirrels in NH!
#46 - Twirl Time
#47 - Circle of Love - A tricky block for me but I love the effect of the finished block.
#48 - Whim - I decided to make this block the one for resting the eyes!
And the wall looks like this right now:
If you follow me on IG, you know that last weekend was our Annual Birthday Party Extravaganza weekend here at the lake. Our sons all have July birthdays so this timing works out beautifully to celebrate and have some summer fun together.
The weather cooperated and we had a great time (as we always do when together!). The weekend started with taking the Chicago based side of the family over to visit my mother-in-law in beautiful Maine. Yes, there was seafood and ice cream as well as a tour of four lighthouses! Great day!
The weekend was full of resting, swimming, cooking, laughing and even a little sewing!
The guys (and gals) decided we needed a corn hole game for the house so off they went to the hardware store for supplies. And voila!
Of course that meant I had to jump into the sewing room and make bags! This outdoor weight fabric made for some pretty fancy bean bags, don't you think?
Our oldest son is celebrating a BIG birthday this year. He plays on a vintage baseball team and one of his gifts was a custom shield for the games this next weekend.
My goodness, how did my little baby get to be that old? And his "little" twin brothers just turned 27. Yikes! It's true about time flying by when you are having fun! So blessed!
Happy Friday!

It certainly is true about time fling when you are having fun . . . they are toddlers and turn around and they are grown.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt squares are delightful. I can hardy wait to see the finished quilt.
