July is almost over

I can’t believe that July is almost over. I need to remember how hot the days have been with temps at 90 and up, but the humidity 10 degrees higher, this winter when it is 0 or below. The last 2 weeks have been busy but now it is slowing down and I can spend time finishing up my WIPs. 3 quilts that need to be quilted, 2 wall hangings and a few pillows. When I write this down I think “Oh NO I need to get myself in gear and finish them.” Then I think Oh I will do this in a while and stuff them in a corner. Think I need to just finish them and be done with it. What do you think?

This morning I will be re arranging the living room. I need to find a way to put Granddaughter’s away without it looking cluttered mess in a corner. I have an end table that has some of my quilt books in so I will move them to the sewing room and then use the end table to put her “Cooking stuff” in. I will wait and have her help me do it. She likes to help me do things.

I was given a box of fabric and in it is a quilt top. It looks like it started to be twin size that took a life of it’s own. Too narrow and too long. I understand why she got frustrated and said “forget it”. While writing this I think I will cut it in half and then do some applique hearts on them and make 2 quilts out of it. Wouldn’t it be nice to have pieced hearts and other shapes appliqued in the pink squares? Now I think I will press it and get started. Well the more I think of it the more I think I will do this. Anyone have some ideas on what to put in the squares? Let me know. I will post what I have done when I get it going. In the mean time only 18 more blocks on the illusion quilt to go.
