A few brighter flowers for my garden.  I had some like these tucked away and decided to make a few more as a plan is slowly forming for this quilt which will involve some of the very delicately coloured flowers together with some brighter ones.

My klosjes production has dropped off rather considerably in the past few weeks, but a couple more have been added to the group now and I hope to make at least two or three each week.

And something that has been in the back of my mind for ages — some 4-patch blocks that finish at 2″.  I’m not sure where I’m going with these but I have a box full of 1″ squares that are ready to piece.  Sometimes it’s fun to just take a few minutes to stitch one or two of these little blocks and slowly, but surely, there will be enough to make a small quilt.  Or I may use these in a postage stamp quilt, which is another long-term project on my quilt “bucket” list.

I was actually contemplating how marvelous it would be to have 48-hour days, 24 of which could be dedicated to quilting.  It was a complete flight of fantasy — I was thinking about all those lovely hours of daylight during the summer and the fact that one would still only need 8 hours sleep per day, even a 48-hour day.  Just think about all that could be fit in that remaining 40 hours!!

Tuesday was another wonderfully hot and sunny day.  The rain they had forecast, and which we do rather need, didn’t materialize.  I think we’re going to have a nice hot summer which will make up for last year’s non-summer!

Smudge was wide awake, lounging on the couch.

Lester, a bit soft focus.
