Summer

I have not disappeared off the edge of the Earth.  It is just full-on summer here, complete with heat and visitors and water play.

must cool off with a good water fight


But there has been plenty of sewing, too.  Here is the landscape themed block for Lucinda in the Pastiche Bee.

I have two more bee blocks in process as well as a tutorial coming up soon.  And, of course, there is lots of sandbox play, splashing in the pool and one person in the household is practicing his tricycle!  I hope you are enjoying the season no matter which hemisphere you are on.

Melinda I love your landscape block so much. It's so beautiful. It has such a lovely calm feel about it. I just want to step right in!
Glad to see you're keeping cool. I'm enjoying wrapping my hands around hot tea to keep warm :)

You really enjoy the summer! Great photo :D And the Pastiche block is amazing - love how you used the text fabric on those trees.

Oh, that block is wonderful. So creative! And I think I have said this every time I have commented here but I LOVE your fabric choices and combos!

Waaaaah! Another makes-me-happy-to-be-alive block! The piecing is incredible, of course, but the thread stitching really finishes it off. Lucky Lucinda!
