UFO's

I am trying to finish some things from the last 4 years.  It is not a good idea to let some projects go that long especially those that come with multi-page directions as Judy Niemeyer's Japanese Fan.
Can't find a template for cutting the pieces for one of the two corner patterns.  LA is coming to my rescue.
My second nesting of bluebirds fledged without me on Wednesday of last week.  Just waiting to clean out the nest.  Have missed their toing and froing with the feedings.  It seems as if there is an atmospheric wall around wayne county to keep out the rain.  It has been over two weeks and with the wind and heat things are drying up.  I am careful not to wish for rain as so many people last week suffered flooding.
The morning (8am) sun on Sunday morning comes through the stained glass windows and throws beautiful watercolor-like images on the wall in the church.
The next picture is of a baby quilt for K's baby due next month.  just finished the binding and have to do label.  This is not the one I made but mine is similar.



My golf team!!! for Branch Pope Memorial Golf tournament.  We gave out two $1000 scholarships this year to two students from Rosewood who will be entering ECU in the fall.  It was a wonderful tournament with 19 teams.  We did not win but had a great day.

I have three quilts ready to put together and quilt.  Maybe can get one done before Thursday meeting.
Peaceful quilting.

Cool fans

Finally getting back to "Japanese fan" by Judy Neimeyer I began with Lucille Amos in ..2012 I think.
Just finished the fans (30) and have 10 more border sections and four corners.
This work is not hard just tedious. It is on my ufo list to get finished this year!
Hope my eyes hold out.
Clear quilting today.

Favorite things

This is a favorite time of the year for me. I give my gardenias until June 1 to start blooming or else... not that I could do anything about it. They don't last long on the bush or in the house but I pick a hand full each morning on the way back from walking my dog to replace the ones in the house.
I love the new line from Tula Pink, "chipper", and used the versitile "Greek cross" pattern from "quilters cache" for the table runner.
I am looking forward to some nicer weather this week.  Although, not loving hot weather, I say each rainy overcast day is a day not in the 90's.
Cooler quilting.
