A “Blue” What I’m Working on Report….

I had a busy weekend with family but got back later last night from a full fun day of family. Today I am back to “normal” life…at least as normal as it gets around here.

Friday my daughter Kayla came home and picked up blueberries from the Amish for me….4 cases worth.

I have two cases left to work through. We ate them like crazy…I froze some….I made blueberry pie. Today I am making a dessert and hopefully some blueberry jam. YUM. They are the best blueberries!

Last week I got LOTS of quilting things done…unfortunately, not much I could show you, at least not yet. I finished up a quilt for my next Moda Bake Shop project which will be out on August 24th. I wrote a quilting article for AccuQuilt which will be out in an upcoming newsletter. I have also been doing several designing projects for an upcoming surprise. It’s been a wonderful kind of busy….

In between, when I can sneak moments or carve out minutes, or sew for my 15 minutes before bedtime, I have SLOWLY been making a little more progress on Jamestown Landing….Those few minutes really add up!

I am leading and ending the border pieces so hopefully the borders will be done by the time I get the quilt top together….I just love the blues. I love them a LOT! All of my blues are cleaned out of the string, 1 1/4″, 1 1/2″ and 2″ buckets so I am going to have to cut some more fat quarters down. In the meantime, I still have a few more broken dishes to sew. Each day that goes by, I love this quilt more and more….

If you want to read more and see more of what others are working on, head on over to Patchwork Times.

I’ve started cutting out my PINK Jamestown Landing. Lots of cutting as you well know. Those blueberries sure look tasty! Sandi

Running low on blues…oh, no, that would give me nightmares! Your block on the top looks so nice. I haven’t been able to find that magazine, even online.

Nice berries, how do you fit it all in? I love the Jamestown landing, and you are right all those little snippets of minutes sewing add up to accomplishing so much!
