Kelli stopped by to sew on Saturday but we didn’t get much sewing done. Â We ended up spending part of the day trying to figure out Karl’s taxes. Â Apparently when we filed this spring they were rejected….we didn’t know until the refund check didn’t arrive. Â UGH. Â Then we worked on designing invitations for an upcoming get together. Â Then it was picking green beans and finally time to sew.
I can’t show much of what I was working on….but here’s what Kelli was up to.
See the cover quilt on the magazine. Â That’s the quilt. Â Plans are that it will be a donation quilt for our new Do Good Deeds Quilt Share. Â We don’t have a recipient in mind for this one yet but figured we wanted to get a few tops done in case a need arises.
I was busy working on next month’s Quilt Square Quilt Along block. Â I can’t believe that July is just around the corner.
After working on those things for awhile Kelli threw a revolt and said that’s it…just for a little bit we are sewing something else. Â Next thing I knew she had papers cut and strips sorted and we were making red string triangles. Â She is bound and determined to get some of the Bonnie Hunter’s Talkin’ Turkey blocks done before Bonnie’s book, Spring Fling, arrives in July.
I have seven triangles done and a few more in process. Â I am excited to be working on these even though I definitely didn’t need another project started.
Country Threads is hosting their Big Event in a couple weeks. Â They always have great sales and good things going on. Â I am planning to take inventory of what I want to sew, what fabric I have and what I need. Â Right now, I am hoping for some neutrals with a whitish background rather than a cream background….I have more figuring to do though.

Don’t forget to check out my giveaway for a the book “Heart-Felt Holidays” and the Michelob Ultra Light Cider Beer.
Sometimes things get in the way and sometime the worst one is ourselves. I completely understand droping one project and working on something else. It works for me. Good luck to both of you and happy stitching.
Sounds like a fun and busy time. Sometimes the projects we think we need to do just aren’t the ones we want to do. Hope you found something to inspire you.
I really like both quilts in process. I think that making donation quilts is a wonderful thing to do. I should that….
I just finished that Merry-go-round quilt that Kelli is working on! I love mine. We did one as a retreat project in May and most of us worked on our own. So many different versions. I did mine in pastel colors because I had a bunch of scraps in those colors and I really like how mine turned out.
