The weather this week is so good and am enjoying the nice temperatures - not too hot and not too cold in the evenings either so we can still eat outside.
Over lunch spent some 15 minutes cutting branches and was contemplating if I should go back to my blog after two months. Either going back or not all ???? Not going back lost!. Part of the blogging pleasure is boosting myself to finish projects, and to get more ideas for which I have absolutely no time. Only to be sidetracked for more projects calling to me.
Some finishes are in order and these are mostly my July goals.
1) Color Jolt QAL quilt top
I made some progress and FMQ-ed straight lines across and in the length. Next step decide how to quilt the blocks. Am thinking diagonal lines across, maybe in pink. If I would go for white the thread would stand out to much on the red fabric. Red thread would stand out too much on the white sashing. Or maybe I zig-zag across the rows, or in each block.
2) Knitted socks
Both socks are knit and still waiting for the final step. They will be useful this winter, even if I am completely not happy with the result so far.
3) Swap
I love swaps, just don't always have enough time to participate. Making something for someone else is so nice, even if you don't know who the other person is. The challenge is definitely part of this. I have made several things this year - things I would otherwise not have tried. Am now working on an autumn inspired cushion cover. As this is a surprise for my secret partner (or actually I am the secret partner) no pictures until the project is send . Autumn colours for sure.
Linking up with Patty at Elm Street Quilts for the September OMG. Hopefully this month I will finish a few projects.
Good luck with your projects Isis. The pink and white photo looks interesting; I hope you can show the whole quilt next month.
