A Little Studio Time

Six or seven years ago I made one of my favorite quilts. Here's the photo I took of the unquilted  top at a Breakfast Club show and tell session. Once finished, it became the primary quilt on our bed. It went to Paris with us.

I saved the scraps from this quilt, which were mostly a lot of HSTs. I had a plan. I needed pillow shams. I am getting closer. Pillow sham tops are pieced...just need to quilt them and get the final construction done. I'm making shams for square Euro pillows.

I've also been cleaning...the never ending job!!! I spent a few days refolding all of my yardage. I could make a lot of quilts by just picking from my existing stash. This doesn't include my fat quarters or other precut fabrics. Still working to clean other areas of my sewing space...

Can't do a summer post without a "critter shot." This is "Great Scott." I photograph him a lot...his antlers will be huge when the leaves start changing for fall. Kinley and I had just missed him when we were on our walk a couple of days ago. Our house is to the left. I got this photo as I pulled out of our driveway.

We did do a little traveling over Memorial Day weekend. We had a wedding to attend in Napa Valley and we also took some time to visit Bodega Bay on the coast. Awesome little break. I was very remiss and didn't get any photos. That means we have to go back! Beautiful scenery, great weather and all out flights were on time and uneventful.
