Hello,

   Tonight we will have a new moon in our skies. .   When it is full in two wees or so, it will be called a strawberry moon.   I do hope that I can pick some berries at that time too.   Things change fast it seems.

I have been working out in my garden a lot this week and I feel I have made progress- even though the ground hog has eaten the tops off my Black-eyed Susann’s.      The hedge is trimmed too and now I am ready to do more of the leaf clean up around the bottom.   I  had two meetings this week- the  Pixies and The quilt Divas.

 

 

Cheri shared her new top.    I is so very whimsical and plant like I think.

 

 

 

 

 

Maureen is still stitching away on this glorious hand printed piece.   She really put a lot of effort into this piece.

 

 

 

 

Terri  showed us the last block for the quilt  that she is building for her son.   All the blocks represent his interests.    This one is of Hobbit Land.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Denise’s  felt and stitch work is very rich in color and texture.

 

 

It was a good meeting and I went away inspired.

Progress Report: Lap # 10

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I enjoyed working away at this project.   It will join the others to  be given away in the fall.

 

 

I hand printed the yellow with the plant image on it.

 

 

Lavender Shore  This is another in the altered rock works.  Meaning that the base is an old Foundations piece.  This is part of  Whipsaw  Hill in Vermont.

 

 

I used some melted Tyvek  on this project.   All the new items were applied by hand.

 

 

 Wool and Felt work   I started exploring the use of roving and free motion in my class last summer at QBL.   I am working away on creating some floral like units with it now.

 

 

Tyvek Project    I am trying more work with Tyvek altering by starting with different cutting before I melt it .      This time I only painted one side . I  did  not find  much difference in how the  material reacted to heat.     Not sure were this will lead at this point.

 

 

 

 Lap 11  I pulled fabric for the next lap quilt  yesterday/.   I like to always have lots of choices as to what to work on when I start the day.

 

 

 

 

 

  Bog Coat   I got the front panel added this week and the hem is done on the bottom edge.   Now I  need to pin and hem the bottom of the sleeves.

 

 

 

 

Take Off   I came across a bunch of UFO’s  in my search for the lost heat gun this week.  So I have resolved  to complete some of them.   This is the fist on I  tackled.     Only need to do the binding now.

I hope that the days of June are filled with joy and delights for you.
