July Scrappy Finish
I don't work a lot with a brown color way. I have had several strip from two different French General Jellyroll laying around for years and I have various brownish fabric I have been given. Finally put it to use in this quilt. I found the French general line and purchased a yard for the border. This was going to be a charity quilt but I have sort of fallen in love with it.

Stars and Strips
I had lots of leftover fabric from other patriotic quilts I had made as well as all these red and white half square triangles. So I started making stars and this is the quilt I ended up with. I really liked how it turned out and knew I wanted it to go to someone I knew. My dear friend Helen's husband is a retired Marine and I felt this quilt would be perfect for him and I was right, he was overwhelmed.

What to do with all that fabric
I have been on a mission to use up my scraps. Have made one blue and white, one red and white and One using left over juvenile fabrics. Now I am on to my purple. OK, let me explain. I made a purple quilt for my granddaughter 8 years ago and I inherited a bunch of purple. I got it all cut out and was STILL left with a pile. What to do, what to do. Ah Ha, a pieced back. Used up every bit to that purple and I like it.

Back at it
I am finally back sewing. My leg has been giving me fits and the little time I could work I used for Susan's quilt on the long arm. I am making another pinwheel quilt for my daughter in law Shelly. Using up bits of Betty's fabric and some fabric I was given by my cousin. I am a bit of a disorganized sewer. I do a little cutting, a bit of sewing, some pressing and sew on. It feels good to be back at the machine.
Now that I have discovered This method , I like the second method, I can make pinwheels like a pro!!!

These Addicting Hexagons
I am having a mild flared of my CRPS so am not able to spend much time at my sewing machine or long arm. Thank goodness I found inklingo, now I have plenty of hand work to do while I am grounded to my chair. Being somewhat anal I found I need to have stations for my hexagons.
This kit the beginning stage:
The final stage will be to sew together and I have a final bin for that as well. It's amazing how quickly these little things go together, I already have 45 done. It does take more time to put the white and green on. Once all the flowers are made, there will be 110, I expect finishing will take longer. Stay tuned for more of the hexagon journey.

From Sister Susan
My wonderfully talented sister made me this adorable needle case. I have been doing a lost of hand sewing lately and this was the perfect gift.
