Midweek Update

I realized over the weekend that my sister's birthday was coming up this week and I wanted to make her something for a gift.  I pulled out this Kathy Schmitz embroidery that I did a few years ago and decided it would be fun to give her because my sister and BiL are huge gardeners.

I looked through my stash for something that would go with the color of the clay pots, and found a batik left over from this year's SAHRR that was fall-themed.


These simple borders and straight line quilting, plus a brick red binding made this a quick finish - thank goodness!

I gave it to my sister yesterday and she liked it!  
I meant to take a picture of her with it, but we got busy visiting and 
I never took out my phone.  Oh well.

Once that was done I could start playing with some ideas for my August house for A Year in the Neighborhood.  I loosely base these blocks on the Rainbow Scrap Challenge color of the month - yellow - and something that's going on around my house.  Here are a couple parts I've been working on!




I should have more to share in my Saturday post!
Linking up with The Inquiring Quilter for Wednesday Wait Loss.
