Welcome, Welcome, Welcome.... Just time for a quick recap of the week.....(from John Oliver's HBO show)
My Center Block on my medallion quilt. I have all the stems, birds and berries sewn down - yay!!
Last weekend Andrew and Sig came up from NJ and the boys worked on a project together.
You can really sense the brain power here.
Love to see those power tools in use.
They turned this
Into this - 2 sets of Corn Hole! wee what fun
I made 16 corn filled bags with duck cloth. Andrew had 2 themes: Green & Yellow for John Deer; and Blue and Orange for the Miami Dolphins.
What a great action shot! The tables still need their paint, but are definitely playable.
Coco was confused as always.... Silly Pup.
She also sent this fabulous Cowboy themed Toile' - I only need about 6 more yards of this! Thank you, Kelly.
Pat, from Midland Texas sent me this wonderful tea towel. When I was there in March I tried to find one. How sweet of her to think of me and send it. Thank you Pat.
I am making a Rainbow Heart Quilt for a victim of the Pulse Tragedy. You can find information
here on the Orlando Modern Quilt Guild site if you are interested. They are taking blocks, quilts, supplies, etc.
And now this......an evening picnic of Chipotle at the beach last night. Summer zooms by so fast, I'm determined to slow it down a bit.
I love the late day shadows on the sand. It was low tide so it was fun to watch the kids looking for gifts from the sea.
I'm off to the Vermont Quilt Festival Saturday morning. If you see me walking around say hello!

Your basket block is phenomenal! I adore that western toile. I don't think I've seen it before. I'd love to be going to the Vermont quilt show. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteYou are off and running after your Alaska adventure. I love the center of your medallion and of course the gift from that amazing woman, Kelly!
ReplyDeleteSome time at the beach AND a trip to the Vermont Quilt show...color me super jealous! I'm so happy for you. A few photos of the show would be nice. 'wink, wink'
ReplyDeleteYour applique block is gorgeous! Have a fun trip!
that applique is SO wonderful! Have a great time at Vermont quilt show.
ReplyDeleteHoly smokes, Barb! That block is beyond amazing! It might be my favorite quilt block ever. Seriously. I'm in awe.
ReplyDeleteHave fun at the show!
Your berries are absolutely perfect! How did you do that? Corn hole is a favorite around here and a summertime must do.
ReplyDeleteThe end of the day at the beach is my favorite time as well, it does go by fast.
I am so glad you like the pin, when I saw it I thought of you and the Toile too! Who knew they had some with cowboys!?!?
Your medallion centre is fabulous!! Stitching on the beach sounds heavenly :0) Enjoy the quilt show!
ReplyDeleteLove the center medallion! You are a dear friend to many, seeing as they know your likes so well! Enjoy the show!

ReplyDeleteReal men and their power tools--gotta love it. And what a fun project.
Your heart quilt is beautiful. That will be appreciated, I'm sure.
Great shots of the beach with the evening glow. I'll just absorb the sight and pretend I am there.

Thank you som uch Veronique' !
DeleteYour medallion is beautiful. I must get back to my appliqué. Have fun in Vermont.
ReplyDeleteGlad you got those berries down. They look great. I think the leaves will be fun. Myoumhave almost made me want to do an appliqué project & you don't know how big of a statement that is. My son built our cornhole frames. I made Steeler & Eagle bags...but filled with polybeads to avoid mold.
ReplyDeleteSo much fun - as always! The basket medallion is looking pretty wonderful - I especially love the bluebird! I remember the corn hole making days; of course our colors were purple and gold for LSU. I thought I had that same cowboy toile, but I just checked and mine is different - fun stuff regardless! Have not been to the beach in too long. We can take our dogs to the beach near our camp, so maybe that will be on the schedule for this weekend. Have a fun time at VQF - that's an event on my bucket list!
ReplyDeleteIs that block for your medallion your own design, or a pattern from somewhere? It is wonderfully rich! It will be fun to see where it goes next. :D
ReplyDeleteOh that medallion applique is so sensational! I see a pattern in your future! You know everyone will want it. Have fun with the corn hole. Hope Coco doesn't like corn!
ReplyDeleteYou are an artist! Your block is stunning- original design? And your perfect berries! Lovely stitching! And I want to bury my toes on that sandy beach...
ReplyDeleteOh oh ! This medallion is a winner !! So unique and gorgeous ! Bravo Barb !!
ReplyDeleteThis Toile is lovely and sooo. ..American ! I love it ! ;)
I wish you to spend a great moment at the Vermont festival ! Enjoy !

ReplyDeleteThat basket block is a killer! Just Beautiful! I once made two cornhole sets for my son and his friend with their college logos painted on them. Son's got left at the frat when he left college (grrr). I think the other guy wisely left his at home and they still have it! Hope you had a great time at the quilt show!
