Summer has flown by. I've been doing lots do sewing and lots of time with my grandchildren.
I completed two more blocks for Skill Builder BOM:
This double inset circle took time to get centered. I can tell from this photo that I quilted one side with my old glasses and one side with my new ones! Oops!
I'm still not caught up but closer!
These are the blocks for August Mid Century Modern Bee. Mary has the best idea for a sweet quilt.
My month is September for out Mid Century Modern Bee and I choose the Union Jack block using the tutorial by Molli Sparkles .
I was lucky enough to be chosen as one of 22 to receive her new Lemondrops pattern and new knit fabric in a "trade off". She just asked for a photo of my model wearing the dress for her use. Thank you again Anna Maria.
I actually had enough fabric for two dresses - this size 4T for Audrey and another in size 7/8! I am not paid to say this but I highly recommend both the pattern and fabric!
And the photo below represent what I've spent a LOT of my time on - some secret sewing that included lots and lots of trimming 2" HST's!! You will see photos of the whole quilt one day!
And a few photos of my little sweeties:
Brandon is six months old already!
And this was from just yesterday:

Hi, Mary! I discovered your blog a while back and I wanted you to know that I love it! Since I don't see you anymore at a monthly quilt meeting, I enjoy seeing what you are up to. And, what a cute bunch of grandkids you have! Keep quilting!

I think Summer always keeps you busy with lots of fun things. Lots of lovely stitching there, too.
And the dress is gorgeous!
I've been somewhat absent too so you're not the only one. I love the sweet little dress. Such a fun design.
Sounds like a wonderful summer to me . . .
