I’m happy this week with the progress I’ve made on the blue and white stars. One more row along the sides, the finishing bits and a border and this top will be done! I absolutely adore working with this blue fabric. Am already thinking about the next blue and white quilt I might make using it!
I’ve also been thinking that a technicolour one of these would be fun — using all sorts of brights for the stars with a “nice” white like Kona Snow or something along those lines. I am now classifying white on whites as nice and not nice. LOL All because of trying to needle through that painted-on stuff!
They finally released a long-term summer forecast for us and I love it! A hotter and drier than normal summer. Okay — well, the drier isn’t so great, particularly for farmers, but the hotter? I can’t wait for the first heatwave! After the winter and horribly cold spring we have had, even days of 110+ with the humidex readings will be just fine with me. I remember my mother saying, whenever someone complained it was too hot and humid in the summer, “It’s a long winter, don’t complain!” She was right!
Lester — we almost caught him with his ruff in his mouth. Almost. He looks so goofy when he does that!
Smudge looking as though he has just woken up. I don’t think he was thrilled to be having his photo taken this time.

WOW ! Huuuuge progress, for a wonderful quilt ! Congratulations, dear !I’ve never been a “blue girl” – maybe because I had to wear that blue and white uniform, for twelve years at school – … however, I’m slowly but surely getting attracted, especially when seeing the awesome results in quilts, just like yours …I also have a nice collection of blue scraps, coming from exchanges with friends, as my grandson is claiming a “sea and ships” quilt for a long time. Just waiting until finding the right pattern :>) “Never say never !” :>)Hugs & smiles to you !NADINE

Want to thank you for listing the blogs that have giveaways. What fun! Your blog is wonderful. The blue and white quilt you are working on is so pretty. I love the Lollypop Trees pattern. I would do it if I were younger. At my age, I prefer starting things that I have a good chance of finishing. Ha Ha. I have had a good time here, and I will keep watching your progress.
