Big and Bright Summer Ahead


Nothing much happening lately in the sewing department.  The top I've been working on, leisurely, is a seam away from being completed.  The pace I've been keeping is so reasonable for the other parts of my life; like housecleaning, and dinner preparation, and nap taking, and laundry getting put away, and family movie night, and evening walks.  My five week tomato seedlings remind me daily that soon I will have morning watering tasks and yard work to add to that list, so starting this pace now is smart.


However, I have a birthday quilt to make by the end of the month, so really I should get my Juggling Summer quilt basted and quilted so I can get working on the quilt with a deadline.  I also have a space quilt wall hanging approaching. 

 Today I decided I want to make another big and bright quilt.  I knew I had seen a perfect print at HoLo for a backing, and went to get it.  While I was there I picked up a quarter yard cut of solid in each of the colors I want to have in the top.  At home I went through my stash to fill in with prints.  I'll begin this quilt this summer, maybe in June. But boy was pulling fabric fun!  I needed that.

When I baste the Juggling Summer tomorrow I will snap some photos to share.  It's a really stunning quilt!
