Not Exactly Productive........

Well, here we are in the second half of July and my sewing time has been pretty sparse!

I thought I'd be getting so much done this summer, but just haven't felt like working on any lengthy

projects.

Just lazy I guess!

 

I like doing bee blocks because they don't take much time!

For example.....

The July blocks for our Happiness Circle @ do. Good Stitches.

Laura did a great tutorial for Waving Pennants that was so much fun to do.

 I didn't even mind the applique, which frankly, I suck at!

The background fabric is actually white.....stupid auto white balance! Not sure why the camera was on auto!

I also finally did Cindy's block for Star of Africa.....months behind!

A great Maple Leaf paper pieced pattern I found @ Christina Creating.

I also really loved doing the block for

Simply Solids: a modern {bee}

I've done the spiderweb block a couple times and it never gets old for me!

 

I really thought I'd have my Marcelle Medallion finished by now!

I zoomed though the piecing of it, only to be brought up short by the quilting!

I'm busy picking out stitches.........rats!

 I thought it would be such a great idea to do feathers in the small flying geese units........

that would be a big NO!!!!!

It would take me forever!

So, I'm picking out the 4 that I did and I'll have to think of something else.

I got most of the centre done before being sidelined with the feathers...

I really should have had a better plan before I started!

I tend to just put the quilt under the needle and THEN think about what I want to quilt!

Maybe that's why this sat for so long with nothing being done!

Hopefully, once the feathers have been plucked :-), I can get back into action!

Hope you are all having a great summer of sewing!
