sewing on this and that......

i can tell summer is getting close my sewing days are getting fewer and fewer......gardening, bbq's, graduations, birthdays and beach days are filling my days instead......but i did finally get the rows sewn together on my Amish inspired quilts.....

added some wool applique pieces to the smaller one, a maybe pattern one day......

have still been working on my Emily Monroe Quilt blocks, almost four done......

and made a couple more blocks for my granddaughter Olivia's quilt, pretty bright, have to wear my sunglasses while working on these!


enjoy your holiday weekend.....

dirty fun......

Lucy always comes to Grammy's house wearing the cutest outfits, shoes and hairbows.....but she already knows, that her clothes get changed into whatever mismatched play outfits, bows come out and our outside mud shoes come on......
the dirt, water, mud fun begins......






maybe Lucy wants to take up fencing? this is favorite hat at Grammy's, an old strainer!!!
