This has been a somewhat quiet week. It's been hot and I feel like I haven't had much energy. I've been watching the Olympics at night. I finished my fussy cut hexagon the other night. It uses the fabric I used to make my Lil Twister quilt that I gave my mom. I love how the design goes all the way around.
I'm also knitting a pair of socks. I'm hoping to have those done next week. They were a bit difficult when I first started them but I've become used to the pattern now. I feel as though I'm knitting the second sock much quicker than the first.
Joann's is also having a great sale. I had a 25% off coupon for my full purchase. They even had batting on sale for 50% off! I had never seen such a large spool of Sugar 'N Cream cotton yarn being sold at Joann's before. Of course, I just had to buy it! I think it will be great to make doilies. It looks like I can make a lot of doilies if I feel like it!We'll see how many I actually make!
I'm trying to get the backing ready for a couple of my quilt tops. It's just been so hot. I'm tired of feeling hot whenever I get into a project. I have air conditioning but I'm still hot! Am I the only one dreaming of fall?? I love the cool, crisp air as well as the lovely colors of autumn. It sounds so nice after all these hot days. I love summer but it just feels as though we've had too many hot days in a row. I feel like we need a break.
I'm finally retired and feel I can do what I love. I'm so happy to be out of the rat race! I try to quilt, read and knit as much as possible. I love to get comments and will respond to each and every one! I hope you enjoy my little blog as much as I do! Thank you for visiting me!

ReplyDeleteThanks, Danielle!!
DeletePretty flower and nice fussy cutting you've got there.
ReplyDeleteI know the feeling, Rosemary. We have summer throughout the year from my part of the world! lol
The heat just makes me so lazy! Also, I worked a bit extra this week and I think it just tired me out! I'll be back to normal once the heat breaks. Glad you like the hexie!
DeleteI just love your newest hexie! You picked the perfect fabric for the center, too.
ReplyDeleteThanks! So many more to make!!
DeleteI love that hexie!
ReplyDeleteThanks! The fabric worked out great!
DeleteI LOVE LOVE LOVE that hexie! It's gorgeous! Yes, I am dreaming every day of Fall. I'm dreaming of an early change in weather. :)
ReplyDeleteNext time there is a big sale at Joann's like that, I will be sure to try and make it on the first day instead of the last when all the good stuff is gone. :(
Thanks, Sharon! That Joann's sale was great but I hate the crowds and the fact that the stock gets depleted so quickly. It's not humid here today but still hot. Fall sounds better and better!
