I promised myself I would finish one of my slow stitching projects this week, so it was just a matter of deciding which one! I ended up choosing the blue and white project because the quilting was pretty close to being done.

Life's a Beach
Table Scraps for June -
When I saw that our theme for a June project was "Life's a Beach," I thought - oh, if only it was! I love going to the beach, walking along the sand, listening to the waves, picking up treasures from the ocean.
But how to translate that into fabric? Using up a few Scraps is always a fun challenge - I have plenty of those!
First I needed the sand - add in some footprints and shells, too.

Midweek Update
It's all about the Hearts this week! First the Patchwork Hearts quilt project -
While I was waiting for my batting order to arrive, I had some time to get row two of Patchwork Hearts ready for quilting and put some stitching into it.

Progress on Patchwork Hearts
Patchwork Hearts is my 2024 Rainbow Scrap Challenge block collection that I am slowly working on finishing. This week I had some time to get it out and move it forward a little bit more. I'm quilting one row at a time, and then will connect them with sashing and batting after the quilting is finished.
How about an orange cat, since June is orange month?!

No-bunny has been bothering my garden this week, thankfully! Actually, maybe it's due to generous sprinkling of cayenne pepper around the plants? Thank you, Vicki, for that advice!

Midweek Update
Last Wednesday I shared a photo of my Orange Peel QAL project that looks almost exactly like this one except that now the pins are gone, because all of the applique is finished! Time to figure out how I want to quilt this.

A mini sampler finish...
I finished up the Rose Garden Mini Sampler this week. There wasn't much left to stitch - I think there were three roses and a green leaf - so it didn't take too long. Then I turned it into a bowl filler pillow.

More with orange...
I focused my scrappy sewing on the orange 16 patch stars this week. I started out by cutting as many 3.5 inch squares as I could find from all the oranges I had. There were a few that could only get one or two. Then I sorted by brighter compared to darker.
