Stay at Home Day #4

We're staying home to stop the spread of this virus, but we can still share the love of quilting with friends all around the world. Today is the final day of the hop.


Have you started doing a Quilt Along or BOM to keep busy? Perhaps you're catching up on a WIP?

I am doing a little of this and that. I almost have my new pattern written and made. Are you interested in testing it?

Nature plus


This is the view I enjoyed for the past week. Beautiful north country!

Tyson Lake in Killarney
 My oldest son recently purchased a place in Killarney it backs onto Tyson Lake, and a visit was definitely in order. This is nature at it's best. Peaceful and breathtaking beauty.

Not only did we want to visit our son but also our granddaughter. They grow so fast, we hadn't seen her in a month. She is just over 3 months old, and rolled over for the first time while we were there. Ohh seeing the little things makes for one happy grandma!

This little guy was so curious he would come out of the bush and walk along the side of the road before darting back in.

Getting back to sewing has been a little slow since getting home. But it was nice to get away and just enjoy what mother nature offers.

Mod Bear Paws Flimsy

Lorna of Sew Fresh Quilts recently asked for testers for her new Mod Bear Paws pattern. I made the baby size as I need either a pink or blue baby quilt in March. After some serious complications and loss a year ago from an ectopic pregnancy, my DIL is expecting. Fingers and toes crossed and lots of prayers that both mother and baby will be fine.

Bear paws require a fair amount of HST's good thing I'm not afraid of making them, as I got lots of practice making all those 1 1/2'' HST's.

 I was going to write this post after I had quilted it, but I'm not sure that's going to happen real soon. Another project has been taking all my time.

Lorna's patterns are easy to follow with lots of great pictures. I'm not sure if you noticed but even with great instructions I still made a mistake I had one of the forehead pieces put in wrong. More practice with the seam ripper, not that I need any practice, and now my bear has his forehead all fixed as you can see in the next photo.

taking a stroll in the garden
Lorna is having a QAL for Mod Bear Paws in September. If you got the pattern now you could get a head start on your very own bear.

My flowers are not doing the best this year with all the hot and extremely dry weather we have been experiencing.

floribunda rose

Usually this rose bush is covered with blooms, not so this year. This is a floribunda rose, I prefer hybrid teas. They are all suffering even though I keep them watered.


phlox
Even the phlox isn't as showy. Some rain sure would be welcome.

How are your gardens doing this year?
