It is Wednesday again so that means WIP Wednesday when we give a little report on our activity for the week ,if you check the previous post you will see the seven blocks I made for the Red ,White and Blue Blog Hop and be sure to enter into my little giveaway as well. This hop is quite inspirational so check the icon on my sidebar and it will take you to
Jane's Fabrics where she has a list of those participating in the hop , you won't want to miss out on the fun .
I finished off the lemonade block yesterday and it is a cute little mug rug , perfect for a hot day in July ;-) .
Blog hops can be addictive and I signed up for the Think Christmas hop hosted by none other than Lesley of the
Cuddle Quilter and
Madamm Samm ,so... I am busy making some red, white and green blocks for this up and coming hop ,stay tuned for July 30-August 3 for some Christmas goodness.Here is a sneak peak .
For those who have been following me for a while you will possibly recognize this piece , it is a portion of my Stay at Home Round Robin which was hosted by
Sunny of Quilting Dreams, well this has been on my design wall for a long time and it has been bothering me so a few days ago I started frog stitching .
I just was not happy with the acorns at the end of the stem so have removed all but this one.
It is a little challenging getting them off but I am almost there and then I have to think of a solution for this area and finish off this project.
It was a great day mail wise , I received not one but three postcards and another a few days ago .The first three are from an exchange with the theme of mini beach quilts.
This one if from Monika in Sask., cute huh!
This is amazing , this is all pieced , such tiny perfect little pieces from Regina in Quebec.
This one is from Mary Anne in Ontario and depicts the beach , water and the quilt , so cute and I love her border treatment.
This final postcard was a random card sent from Heather also from Ontario , and it arrived just in time for Canada Day , isn't it fabulous !
I am linking up today to the
Needle and Thread Network ,be sure to stop by and see what others have done this week and thanks so much for stopping by .
hugs Sheila
