Get Out!

 I've only been talking about this for months.

I finally did it!

The weather was perfect.

In just a couple trips from the house,

I had everything I needed.

My "travel" machine, iron and board, cutting mat.

This little travel iron rocks, btw.

If you follow me on Instagram, you likely saw

that I had a little visitor--he is no longer with us.

And what is up with this?

You all need to get outside!  On the right day,

I cannot rate this experience high enough!

(Though I will say I missed my higher-up rolling chair.)

I got quite a bit done until the sound of thunder

put a halt to it all.  That's just the way things have

been around here but at least I got out there.

Heartspun Quilts offered a free download last week

of Abigail's Doll Quilt so I used this as inspiration to

use some of my scrap HST's in making a runner to

go with the quilt that is currently on our bed.

Btw, Pam is hosting a sew-along for this cute pattern.

I'm not sure if mine counts as sewing along but

I'd love to get another one going because these

blocks are really fun.

(5 1/2" unfinished)

With a high of 81 and no chance of rain,

I may get out there again today.  

Try it--I'll be watching for your pics!

Happy outdoor, pool-side, garden-viewing quilting!
