Hot July Days

Hey, everybody.  Summertime has arrived in the mountains.  We had such a lovely June weather wise.  Now, the humidity has crept in along with higher temperatures.  Oh well, we'll survive.  Just talked to my sister earlier down in NW Florida and they've had temps and heat indexes up above 100.  I can hardly imagine with the humidity down there.  I told her that was one of the the primary reasons we moved away from there. 

We've been saying home pretty much.  We go over to the park for a walk fairly often but we are able to avoid other people well enough.  It does the heart good to walk along the creek and hear the water. 

I've been sewing pretty steadily.  I have the graduation quilt all done and ready to go in the mail.  I really like how it turned out and hope Josie will like it. 

In addition, I started and finished the top for another quilt.  Don't know when I'll get it quilted.  I loved these colors together.  You may need to enlarge the photo to properly see the striped fabric. 

I've gone back to working on the Oh, Christmas tree wool applique pattern.  I have the circles for the 21 flowers all cut out and stapled together.  Now I get to start the fun part of doing the fancy stitching to fasten them together and to embellish them.  It is enjoyable but very time consuming. 

I hope everyone takes proper precautions to keep themselves and those around them healthy.   Stay safe.

Y'all take care
