Last Friday, I went with a couple of friends to a quilt show put on by the Ft. Collins Modern Quilt Guild. I shared one quilt photo over the weekend, but saved a couple more for today. I thought this one at the entrance to the show was really stunning!

To-Do Tuesday #183
Good morning, and happy To-Do Tuesday! I've had a good week of getting things done in the sewing room.
- One of the biggest accomplishments has been completing the last two house blocks for the Rainbow Neighbourhood QAL.
House #8:
House #9:
Here are all nine houses!
- I'm also finishing up my project for the Perfectly Pieced Quilt Backs book launch blog hop, coming up on June 21st. Just a little more binding to stitch!
- Some blue and green blocks were stitched up for the colors of the month for June in the Rainbow Scrap Challenge, too!
- I need to find just the right fabric for the sashing and borders on the Rainbow Neighbourhood quilt. I don't think I have anything in my stash that will work, so a little shopping is needed.
- Maybe start sewing the sashing and cornerstones to the house blocks? Don't know if I'll get to that or not.
- More blue and green blocks for my RSC projects.
- I'd like to get back to working on a QAL which started in February - Scrap Dance Quadrille at From My Carolina Home. I've made one Block A, and need five for a tabletopper.

A few more bowties...
Piggybacking on yesterday's post, I decided to stitch some more bowtie blocks. Angela suggested getting out the greens if we had enough blue blocks, so that's just what I did! These are all hand-pieced, so I work on them during my evening slow stitching time.

My sewing week...
has taken me all over the place! I'm working on a finish for the Perfectly Pieced Quilt Backs blog hop coming up in a few weeks, so that was my No. 1 job of the week. It's getting close!

I Like Thursday #338
LeeAnna has declared the month of June to be ice cream month for I Like Thursdays, and I can get on board with that! The question for this week is - what's your favorite ice cream flavor? Well, that's an easy one!

Hands2Help Final Check-in
I have two quilts that I'm sending along to two different charities for the H2H quilt drive this year. These are both baby/toddler size, so I'm sending one to the Little Lambs of Utah, for kids going into foster care, and one to the Cool Kids Campaign in North Carolina, for kids fighting cancer.

To-Do Tuesday #182
Good morning, and happy To-Do Tuesday! Hope you enjoyed the long weekend. There were lots of graduation parties around here - we were even invited to one! It was nice to get caught up with some extended family that we hadn't seen in awhile. But did we take any pictures? No...
I do have pictures of things I've been working on this week to share, though. House #7 for the Rainbow Neighbourhood QAL is done! This might be my new favorite!
- House #8 - the quilt block section is started, and pieces and parts for the rest of the house need to be cut and sewn.
- Keep working on my project for the June 21st blog hop.
- Get started on June blocks for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge - working with more blues.
