Caught Up ( Birdie Blocks)

I did finally catch up. Here is my July block. Am also working in my sewing room trying to organize. I decided to cut lots of squares so when I am sitting in my easy chair in the evening I can keep my hands busy. I am going to make yoyo's and also embroider- at least until I get a quilt marked and ready to hand quilt. We have had a death in the family and also a wedding. Lots of birthday parties and anniversaries so have been kept busy. Not much time for sewing. Hope you all are keeping cool- difficult here. Our thermometer is showing 107.1 now and very humid.

looky what the mailman brought!!

Look at the beautiful fat quarters I won from a giveaway on the averagequilter blog. Thank you very much Margaret- I love them

Two more finished

Finally finished a couple more Birdie blocks. Haven't gotten much else done except gardening and things are really growing here. Warm weather and lots of rain. Hope you all are having good sewing days.

Birdie # 4 finished

And I am working on 5. Don't think I will have 5 and 6 finished by July 1. It is HOT in South Dakota. 102 deg. the last time I looked. AC is working overtime. Hope we don't have a power failure. Thursday is the day some of our friends meet for coffee at McD's and there were 2 bus loads of kids in there from TN. plus lots of tourists. Too many for their AC.

I went to the Mill End store in Sx. Falls yesterday and really love that store- only had a few minutes to pick up something I wanted. I need 1/2 day there. They have such a variety and good prices. Seems like everytime we get to SF we have Doctor appointments.

Hope you all are having a good day.

Look -See what the mailman brought!!!

See the pretties the mailman brought. Aren't they beautiful prints?? I won them in a give away at Marilyn's Maze. Thanks Marilyn. They will make something very pretty.

two more finished.

Finished 2 more of my birdie blocks. I think they are addicting. Went to the lake over the Fathers Day weekend so didn't get anything finished but enjoy our family. Boating and fishing plus lots of eating. Today is a beautiful day here- I have been weeding the flower beds.

Lots of heavy rain in the Dakotas with flooding. Some had up to 10 inches of rain in a short period of time. So many homes and farms are flooded. We are far enough away from the mighty Mo but it is wet here. Hope you all are doing okay and getting lots of quilting finished.

5 months behind

Finally finished the first block that should have been done by Feb. 1. Oh well maybe I'll catch up. I used CBQ's idea of using vintage sheet scraps. Thanks CBQ- ( I love visiting blogs. )

Beautiful day here but we have been getting lots of rain, wind and some hail but we feel fortunate because so many families are losing their homes because of flooding and fires.

Sorry my picture is fuzzy- guess I need to change batteries.
