Weekending

The weather could not have been better, and we have a few more days of stellar weather before there’s a change. It’s warm, sunny, low humidity & dew point — it’s just perfect. More, please!!

My main accomplishment over the weekend was getting the first border sewn to my quilt top!

A workspace displaying a pile of colorful striped fabric strips, a rotary cutter, and a cutting mat with a gray felt surface.

There was a lot of cutting, piecing, trimming & pressing to start!

That matching of the join at the border with the sashing/cornerstone seam could not have lined up better if I’d planned it. I’m not sure that I would have planned it, but since it happened organically, I let it be.

I look pretty pleased, don’t I? It’s a pretty accurate image.

Next up are some large, dotty flying geese blocks. I made a paper template to check the proportions & may modify my original plan… will need to look at it again.

Here’s a little nugget to start your week with a smile:

A young child with blond hair stands in front of a wooden door, playfully covering their mouth with both hands while wearing a light blue shirt, denim jeans, and shoes.

We’ve been noticing Davy’s style lately — he’s been showing up with his t-shirt tucked neatly into his jeans. The only thing missing was a belt, and Ali fixed that with this amazing Golden-D version… which Davy absolutely cannot stop looking at! He looks pretty pleased, too, doesn’t he? So adorable.

Happy Monday! Happy June 1st!!

  8. The quilt top has come out beautifully. The border looks like it was made for the quilt top. That Davy – he is so cute and full of personality.
