Last days of summer

I can only hope that summer's back is broken and things will be bright and coooooler.  This is one person who will not dream of the heat of summer in the dead of winter.
Moving along on projects to complete here is a picture of the quilt for Lulu the older of the two girls in the habitat house.

The next picture is of my block for the fall block exchange.  I have finished 10 and hope to finish the rest by tomorrow.

Each year the Arts Council asks us to donate two 6inch square canvases.  We can put anything on them we wish.  I am not as creative as many so I use something I have done.  Here are the ones for this year.  

Sorry I can't seem to turn them around.

Finally here are the BOM sampler blocks for August.  Never thought I would be sewing half square triangles to make a 1.5 inch block.  One thread can really make a difference.  Oh well only three more months.  Some are putting it together as they go but I will wait.

I have nearly finished the blocks for September but will wait to finish them all.  I like most of the fabrics esp the dark blues.

Have a beautiful sky blue day and 

Sunny quilting.

Rain again

I will forgo the repetitive comment about how time flies but September????  I have been trying to finish up some projects and have started some new ones.  This is not my comfort zone.  I like to try to finish what I start within a reasonable time unless it is a BOM.  The DOQ quilt show was really nice.
I can't believe all that volunteers have to do just to put it on.  It was so well done and they made it look so easy.  The vendors were so different it was nice and so many beautiful quilts to drool over.
It was the first time C and I had entered a show and it adds something when you have a dog in the fight.
I have nearly finished the two quilts for Lulu and Yaritza who are the girls moving into the Habitat house we worked on last May.  I just quilted a veteran's quilt for Undercover Quilters Bee donation and am working on my exchange fall blocks.  I have finished five of the fifteen.  I am nearly finished with the challenge quilt using the "ugly" fabric.  Have one more border on the quilt I started in Hatteras in 2013 and have 10 more courthouse square blocks for Bonnie Hunter's Smith Mountain Morning blue/brown quilt from her workshop in June.  September will be the last slow month and then Christmas will be here!!!

This is the quilt for the younger sister Yaritza.

I finally got a sewing table and moved my drop-leaf table to the front bedroom for a cutting table.  I do really love quilting on this where the quilt does not get caught on the edge of my extension table.

I think the wall behind is crying for a quilt.

Love love love it.

I need to send some pictures to the computer so will close

Cooler quilting
