Let's see, I have my second RRCB, my second Paintbox, my Iowa (Carolina) Christmas, the last half of Amy's BOM sampler from 2010 and a couple of other quilts to finish, not to mention the baby quilt that I have in progress. I have the top back and batting ready for the baby quilt, but can't finish it until I have a definite birth date. Also, I have 10 pillowcases to do by the end of August at the latest. Sooo, what did I do. Yes, you are right. I started 3 quilt alongs. I have already blogged about the Summer Bow Tie Quilt Along, and I have Cheddar fabric coming today for Bonnie Hunter's Sister's 2011 Leader/Ender Challenge. So, of course, I needed to start another quilt along, as things come in threes. These blocks are my first six from Crazy Mom Quilts 36 Patch Quilt along. The only good thing is that I'm using up lots of scraps. |

More Bow Ties and Shopping
Sixteen more bow tie blocks done. That's 52 out of 140. Not too shabby of a beginning for a perpetual holder upper of the slowest. |

Second Batch of Bow Ties and DH Update

Summer Bow Tie Quilt
DH had a sleepless night last night so has slept most of the day and I've been on my own. I decided to try to catch up on the Summer Bow Tie Quilt Along. As you can see mine is going to be scrappy and so far I have only raided my orange, yellow and purple scraps, the orange was rather lacking, lol. I liked this setting when I saw it on Pleasant Home. It looks like it has been going on since June 19th, and I made 20 blocks today, so I think that I'm almost caught up. I just figured, and it looks like I am 1 block behind. This isn't how the blocks will be in the quilt, I was just sticking them up there as I pressed them and I still need to square them up a bit. I plan to use all scraps so I feel almost like it'll be a free quilt (I like to kid myself). |

July Finish On My Son's Birthday
Just another view. It would have been better to wait for better light, but we may go shopping with my DGS and his fiance later today. |
The label, of course. I now have a paintbox to do, another RRCB to do, and the second half of Amy's BOM from 2010, not to mention quilting my over humongous Iowa (Carolina) Christmas. It would be logical to get right on one of them, but I have two new projects luring me out of my chosen virtuous path. Crazy Mom Quilt's 36 block quiltalong, and one that's already started, Summer Bow Tie Quilts quiltalong from Facebook. I don't have a link to the blog right now, but if anyone's interested I'll do my best to find it. P.S. The blog for the Summer Bow Tie quilt is: http://annalenaland.com/2011/06/19/summer-bow-tie-quilt-blocks/ |

A Set Back
No Bonnie, no quilting. Wednesday DH went for an endoscopy and they said his heart was beating incorrectly and way too fast. Instead we went to see our regular doctor and then to the hospital. His heart was fluttering and so they are using IV's to bring it back how it is supposed to be beating. He has 2 IV's in his arm, and his blown out 2 IV's. He has felt fine, although with all the needles it seems like he came in feeling ok and now is a semi invalid. Hopefully, according to the cardiologist he may be able to go home tomorrow. Anyway, Bonnie was a nice idea, but it just wasn't to be to go see her. Maybe, next time.
