It's Been Awhile

I will just say, "Sorry," and move on. Life really gets in the way A LOT for me. It's been a hot summer and the pool has been very inviting. Too hot to sew outside, so "swimming" it is!!! The tree over our pool has shed its leaves directly into the pool. They are still falling, it's a bunch of work to keep them gathered up and off the bottom. Since my husband is unable to tend to the outside work (or inside), I've taken on this task. I've only sucked up so many leaves one time and had to call the pool company to blow the lines. Got one of those leaf catchers, pronto!!! 

Enough said, here's what I've been up to:

I decided that I couldn't pass up the Sew Sampler subscription box from the Fat Quarter Shop. This was the pattern called Moonshine and they included the fabrics so I was able to whip this up pretty quickly.  I'm really happy with my points on this one. I've added the outer borders and will update the pic soon. I'm actually loving the surprise of the whole subscription box thing!!! I really need to iron the flannel and work on my portable design wall.  I'm definitely not a photographer. LOL

Also, I decided to buy the kit for the Gravity Quilt from Jaybird Quilts. Here's Block 1.  I did buy the kit, just made sense.  I'll get a better pic, but didn't want to forget to share what I'm working on. 

I'm also working on a bunch of other projects and I will share soon.  I think I might have 20 projects in the works that I've been trying to spend a few minutes on once a week, at least, so they don't drop off my radar. Soon, thanks for reading. 

I'm thinking about doing Instagram for my progress steps so I can just take a pic and post. Write about them after they are finished, although, that might mean I never post on the blog. HeeHee  Do you Instagram?  I'd love to follow you. Please share if you use it to post your quilt project steps/progress. Thanks.
