What a week….

what a week i have had……………
8 days ago we had an electrical issue at work which took out a computer, our internet server as well as our main server. our computer guy was called in & he took our server to rebuild it. got that done & re-loaded the data which we tested to make sure we didn’t loose anything & finally got us all back up & running today.
as some of you know when your system goes down you panic – which i did.
when i panic i have to stay busy with simple tasks that require little brain function and sewing isn’t one of them. i spent a lot of time in my yard doing stuff so i thought i would share a couple pics that i took.
i am a lover of sunflowers & have a ton of them in my garden – just happened to catch a shot with a bee in the middle of this one.
a bowl full of cherry tomatos from my garden. i have 4 cherry tomato plants & the people i work with love them.

i did do some quilting (non-sewing) stuff last week.
i laid out my hexi quilt & counted up how many setting triangles i would need. i then took some pics just in case i mess up the layout when i go to sew it together.
i then bagged up each row & labeled them so they are ready for me at camp.


i also worked on my Charm Pack QA blocks.
i got them all laid out & ready to sew as well.


now that things are back to normal for me at work i might get some sewing done in the evenings & maybe this weekend.
Tuesday we head to Boise for the 1st DMB show then home for a day then onto the Gorge for 3 more shows. i will wrap the concert adventure up in Chicago on the 17th & 18th of September then its onto a 5 day quilt camp on the 22nd.
the days are getting shorter & the nights are getting cooler.
summer is coming to a close & fall will be here before we know it.
i hope everyone has had a great summer & you are looking forward to the fall as much as i am.

Odds & Ends

i finished up the last block for the Jelly Roll Quilt Along that i have been doing.

here are all of the blocks. i have the finishing instructions but it might not get put together till camp.

i also made the 3rd block in the Fat Quarter Shops Designer Mystery BOM.

as well as another block for the Star Sampler Quilt Along that I am doing. i think this block #9.

i cut some backs for quilts that need to be quilted as well as did some hand work. i started prepping projects for quilt camp…. i think this is gonna take awhile.
i hope you all have a good weekend & a even better week!

Bee Blocks for Mary

i am in a online bee called Bee Splendid.
at the beginning of each month i get fabric from one of our members & this month i got Verna from Mary. i LOVE Verna so i have been looking forward to making these blocks. i finally got to them this afternoon,
Mary requested Drunk Love blocks which i have never made before. needless to say i am in LOVE with these blocks now. my mind is spinning with ideas……
so i went from this pile above to these 2 wonderful blocks below.

Mary also asked us to make her a siggy block for the back
so here is mine

check back for more sewing pics & updates that i am working on this weekend.
enjoy!!!

the blocks will be sashed with an orange fabric from the Hope Valley line with purple cornerstones again from the Hope Valley line.
