We had a rainy day yesterday with lots of flooding in the county so school was cancelled. It rained most of the day so nothing to do other than housework and to sew. :) I have this machine set up in the corner of the dining area that I will use this summer.
I have a basket ready with my Churn Dash pieces.
I didn't actually mean to work on my Churn Dash blocks as I was saving them for summer sewing but while I was cooking and doing laundry I sat down in the dining area to sew.
As of right now I have 80+ blocks cut but I think that I will need 110 blocks to do the size that I want. I'm thinking that I will set these on point.
I'm not sure yet what fabric that I will use for the solid blocks.
I made a batch of Peach Dumplings and as you can see Richard got some before I took the photo. I was a good girl and didn't eat any of them as they have a ton of sugar in them and that is something that I can't have.
As soon as Hunter got off the bus on Tuesday, he changed clothes and we headed to my sister's house to visit with the baby. Hunter fell asleep on the couch. I had to snap this photo as I thought it was cute they way he was sleeping.
And of course, I had to snap a photo of this little angel. :)
I hope to get more cutting done later today and get more stuff prepped and ready to sew this summer.

I really need to bring up my Singer and see how bad the tension is...it has been over a year since it was out of the case. Isn't it cute how they fall asleep. Maybe cut things out and then hide them? That way you'll have them for summer =)
I have the neutral "version" of the red and green in your Churn Dash pieces. I am determined to make a Churn Dash quilt myself one of these days, so I'm going to enjoy watching you work on yours.
better slow down or that quilt top will be finished before the warm weather comes and you will need to cut out another quilt! Peaceful sleeping - quite it doesn't last long in boys that age
Ah, churn dash blocks--one of my all-time favs! Appears to be a fair amount of Kim Diehl fabrics in the mix--love that, too. It will be a great quilt (to make in the summer--ha ha).
