In our busy-busy sewing week last week I managed a little play time. Â See these? Â Aren’t they fun. Â They are made with left over half square triangles. Â I don’t have a complete plan for them yet, but I sure am loving them so far. Â They have a little conformity and a little wild scrappy. Â They are made using an upcoming Moda line called Scrumptious. Â Kelli and I both really like the line.
Kelli and I power sewed on Saturday but Kelli left me with the borders left to finish (SURPRISE!!??) Â Kelli always leaves me with the borders. Â Here I have more borders to sew but at least they are cut and sewn and ready to put on. Â The backing and the binding are ready too. Â This one needs to leave the house in Friday’s mail (go Jo go!!) Â In between the border construction I am still piecing a little bit of Lazy Sunday. Â I’m on the last step. Â I have been piecing the border pieces together leader and ender style.
Nothing real exciting is going on…it’s just a steady stream of things to do. Â I have promised myself a sewing day all to myself…nothing I have to sew…nothing with a deadline. Â I am thinking next Monday on Labor Day just might be the day.

I’m not sure I have ever had a “just sew for me day”. Do they really exist or are we just kidding ourselves? :-)
My mom will be here for the Labor Day weekend and we are going to sew as much as we possibly can. I think there might be a little bit of a tube down the river trip, but otherwise it is sew, sew, sew! I am trying to finish one Bonnie Hunter UFO before the Nov. mystery starts. :)
I admire how much you and your daughters do for charity. Especially, the baby quilts. In Sept./Oct. I will be in Ohio trying to clear out my house, as I am putting it up for sale. I am downsizing to a mobile home in Ca. to be near daughter and grandchildren. I have material and other sewing items I could send you. But, don’t know where to post them to. Also, I have quilting books, magazines and sewing patterns especially children. Don’t know if you could use any of these but I would be willing to pass them on as I would just give them to the thrift stores in town.
