What's happening around here

A dull and dreary day here on the east coast , threatening rain but I am threatening it not to start ;-) We did have rain overnight and things are growing leaps and bounds so a little sunshine would feel real good about now.
Not a lot of sewing going on but I did manage to get my stitching done on the June block by Shabby Fabrics BOM , I am always excited to see what the next block will look like and so far have not been disappointed , just love them.
I still need to add the kite tails and do the embroidery for the tail but otherwise it is done.
 I am taking part in a postcard exchange in a yahoo group I am a member of and the theme this time is mini quilt beach blanket so here are my three postcards to mail off .
I rarely make two the same , I like variety in my life ;-) so these are my interpretation of that theme and I am pleased and hope the gals who receive them are as well.
 I hope this afternoon to make at least one of the Red , White and Blue blocks for the July 1st blog hop
 Nothing like leaving it until the last minute .
Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day .
 hugs Sheila

    very cute Sheila....you do great work. It is a beautiful day here...I can't believe the difference. I mowed lawns most of the day; it is breezie, but sunny and very warm...without the breeze; I would have died out there mowing. Thanks for stopping by to comment....always appreciated.

    It's dismal here today too. Just started to rain now that we want to BBQ! Your June block is so cute. And your postcards are pretty cute too! Love the flipflop one. I haven't attempted making postcards but they are on my list.

    I love your post cards, Sheila, and I'm sure the recipients will, too. Good job on the BOM. I have a bad habit of not getting very far with BOM's, so I didn't even start this one, but it sure looks yummy!
