The many activities of summer have left me little time for crafting, and even less for blogging. Looking back on the last couple of weeks/months, we haven't done anything amazing really - no big trips or major events, but lots of little things. But it's the little things that count, right? Hopefully we've done enough to make some good memories this summer. :)
So, to update the blog for today, I'll share a little of what I managed to squeeze in between swimming lessons, bike rides, reading time at the the library, making popsicles, and all that summer stuff......(More details later. When school is in session. And we're settled into a routine.)
Another opportunity to practice free motion loops and double loops. Not perfect, but I'm improving!

Bought a new acrylic cutting template - an isosceles triangle. I had a stack of triangles in no time, using a couple of prints that had been sitting in my closet forever.
Made quick work - a fast a fun baby quilt!
Did a little "old lady quilting", as my husband says. I put together a couple of traditional blocks for a collaborative project headed for auction at the Festival of Trees. Christmas in July!
Tried my hand at paper piecing. S L O W going for me. But eventually, this will be a neat project.
We have a new nephew on the way! Very excited for this baby quilt. I've been hanging on to these little bicycles forever. I love them! (Sarah Jane for Michael Miller - On the Go in navy). I'll be using Riley Blake's Cotton Dots and Cotton Stripes too.
So there you have it, a random sampling of summer sewing. Looking forward to the next little while - getting back into a groove around here!
