Haven't accomplished much, but a little is better than nothing.
We had company over the 4th of July weekend and
my granddaughter has been with us the last 8 days.
While my daughter was here, we recycled some weathered wood into patriotic decor for the front porch. The cabin is the perfect place to display prim projects.
In the moments I had to myself,
I managed to turn a WIP into a flimsy.
Little Letters,
a free pattern from Temecula Quilt Co.
I made two sets of letters at the same time.
This one is for my grandson and the other one will be for my granddaughter. The backing fabric is one I picked up 2 years ago. I started the letters almost 1 year ago...embarrassing that it took this long to get them all done. You can see the backing fabric here.
I continue to make pennies for my Farm Girl Finery.
I am not very good at staying on task when the task is very repetitive and involves a lot of flying geese!
We are headed to Mesa Verde next week for some camping and exploring.
Geez, this summer is flying by!
It will be a miracle if I get a third of what I brought with me done!
Great patriotic creation!
ReplyDeleteI really like your alphabet quilt. The splashes of brighter blue really bring it to life.
I haven't been to Mesa Verde since I was a teenager, but I still remember loving the cliff dwellings. Fascinating!
Your wood flag is very creative. I often wished I knew how to work with wood and some of the power tools. Too late in life to earn it now.
ReplyDeleteWonderful projects, both wood and cloth. You accomplished allot! Enjoy your time in Mesa Verde
ReplyDeleteI love summer and the lazy fun days! Love your abc quilt and the patriotic flag.
ReplyDeleteIt is time to enjoy summer before it is gone .
ReplyDeleteLove the ABC quilt and the flag is Awesome :-D
Liking the wood flag!!
ReplyDeleteI made the little letters quilt and gifted it to a very dear friend in blog land. I wished would have made TWO letters at a time too! Clever!!
Your first priority is to have a holiday. The rest falls into place.
ReplyDeleteYour new decoration looks perfect for your porch.
I just finished my Little Letter U's today, so you should not be embarrassed! I started a year ago, too, and am also making two at a time. I've done lots of projects in between, but still...a year?!?!? Lol. I have a grand -nephew (which makes me sound old...I'm not THAT old!) arriving in October, so I hope to have one finished up for an early Sept. baby shower. Your flimsy and your flag are both fantastic!!
