projects!!!!

One of the things I don't like doing is several projects at one time.  However, I realized that I would have to get over that when I signed up for two ongoing classes at Thistle Bee.  And there are so many quilt patterns that are calling me.  I realize for many of my quilting friends this is just one of the "blessings" of quilting.  I have at least caught up with the calendar hangings with the August ones just finished and the September ones ready for the machine applique.

 
 

 The top one is for me and the bottom one is for my next door neighbor.  The boat is named Cecil for "our" dog and there is a little duck in the water.  What fun.

This is "Laura's quilt" finished and quilted by Heather Tighe in Hampstead.  Just love it.

This is part of a border which will be on all sides of small quilt.  First time for applique on borders.

 

Finally more garden pictures.  I have a perennial hibiscus which does not get very tall but has these really large blooms.  It tries so hard.  And I tried some moon flowers this year from seed. So rewarding and they are so rich in color.

 

Time to work on borders.
