I'm making a small handbag for my daughter's MIL, and taking an unreasonable amount of delight in the just-finished little log cabin block that will be on the front flap. ☺️😄

Six more blocks done for the New York Beauty quilt. Now I have to put this away for a while and work on something a little less insane. 😄

I'm up to 6 completed blocks and one more almost done on the New York Beauty. Good heavens these take a long time to make. Only 57 more to go. 🫣😄

Fire pit, tall trees, almost full moon, and a warm Fall night.

Daylilies nestled all snug in their bed. I like doing some of this in the Fall, makes Spring a bit easier!
My daughter called me and was in a chatty mood. I put my earbuds in and weeded, raked and mulched while she talked. 3 hours and 23 minutes on the phone, a new record. 😂🤪

Got another NY Beauty block done today. It's a different gradient pack - yellow to blue. The yellow ray is a bit standout but I think it will just look interesting when it's incorporated in the quilt.
Now back to our regularly scheduled wedding ring to keep the deadline project moving along.

I originally designed the NY Beauty quilt with 9" blocks, then decided that since I already had 8" templates made, that I would use those and add a border to get the quilt size. Didn't like it, back to 9" blocks. Today I made the new templates and re-made yesterday's block in the larger 9" size.

I usually have 3 or 4 quilt projects going at a time so that I can switch it up when I get bored or frustrated. Decided to take the plunge and start the New York Beauty quilt today. Block #1. Some mistakes and I may replace it in the quilt but I think it got me in the groove.

I dropped my sewing machine off for routine service without an appointment so I was without it for a week. 6 months old and more than a million stitches. 😳🤩
Now it's back and I'm on to the next project, a Metro rings queen size for a wedding gift. Here's the box of parts.

I'm sitting in my sunroom chair catching up on texts and email and all of the sudden the cat crashes into the wall behind me and starts batting it like crazy, growling and howling all the way. 22 year old Pepper is going nuts.
It was a spot of sunlight reflecting off my cell phone on to the wall. 😂

Fair season continues in Lancaster County with the Ephrata Fair this week. I entered my quilt that I call "Nana's Scrap Box" (posted on Bluesky earlier) with good results - Best in Show Quilt!
I also entered a day pack/shoulder bag & got 1st in that category. 😊
Can't believe I hated Home Ec. 😄
