The other day, Mike had an eye appointment on the far east side of town, and I rode along. While he was getting eyes dilated and looked at, I decided to go for a walk. I followed a sidewalk along the parking lot and around the corner I came upon this:

Midweek Update
Since finishing Paducah Stars, I've had some time to get caught up on the most recent blocks for Melva's QAL, Pieces of My Life. With these two blocks, we're celebrating love and friendship, which I've been lucky to have a lot of in my life!
Right after my high school graduation in 1972, my parents moved our family out here to Colorado where my dad was transferring for his work at the new (at the time) Kodak plant in Windsor. Although I wasn't particularly happy about leaving my friends back in New York, I agreed to start college at Colorado State University in Ft. Collins for one year. And, of course, what happened is I met new friends and have stayed in Colorado ever since.

Year of Hearts stitching
Friday night I just had one more buzzing bee to stitch on the June heart. So that didn't take too long to finish up!

Everything's growing really nicely in my garden and pots right now, which is something I like very much. The tomatoes have blossoms, the cucumbers and jalapeño have baby ones already forming, and the green beans...

Midweek Update
I've stayed the course this week and quilting is finished on my Luminous Layers project! I wish the quilting was a little more visible in this photo because I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Throughout the quilting process, my goal was to emphasize the star shapes and that has worked out well.

Slow Stitching for a Sunday
I was hoping I might be hand sewing the binding down on this quilt today, but I'm still quilting it.

Getting started on blue...
I love seagulls! I know they are scavengers and leave messes, but I find them very entertaining. This is a favorite photo from one of our trips to the Oregon Coast, taken at Nye Beach by Newport.

June has come in like it's full on summer already - nice and warm! I do love summer, so I'm not complaining. My petunias are happy about this nice warm weather, too!

Midweek Update
I spent most of Sunday afternoon prepping Luminous Layers for quilting. Trimming stray threads off the back of the quilt top, pressing the top and backing, cutting the batting, and then spray basting the layers together - you get the picture!
