A little wool applique soothes the soul!

During the drive up to our cabin with the grandkids, I was able to get a little hand sewing done.  I mostly finished these three (one still needs the stems...)







This one needs the final border which has a lot of applique, and then I'll add the vines all around all sides.  I'm loving it!


Sadly the week with the kids here is coming to an end.  Went just way too fast.  We had a great time with them and I think they did too.

The heat continues--the temps have been over 100* this week.  That hasn't stopped my very adventurous mom...my husband was driving near her assisted living facility at noon the other day and saw her walking along the sidewalk with her walker!  No hat, of course.  According to her, it wasn't that hot.  The temp was 100*!
What can you do???

  3. Those little baskets are adorable! I love the needle and spool background fabric on the last one. That little quilt is so sweet. I'm wondering how you will quilt it with all those wool pieces. But then, it is really just fine as a top!
