Bloomtown from Sew Preeti Quilts

Island Batik's September Challenge and Blog Hop theme is Adventurous Applique and is jointly sponsored by Aurifil Threads.

Here is my response.

Finished!

For this challenge we were to use our assigned Spring 2024 Bundles along with the matching threads provided by Aurifil.

I received Geometric Symphony designed by Jerry Khiev. This collection has beige, fuchsia and navy fabrics in bold geometric prints.

Finished: Diabetes quilt from Fabric Engineer

Over a year ago, I put out a call for quilts on Facebook. I enjoy making quilts for people, so it's nice to make one for people that want one. Today's quilt goes to someone from my church. We were in a small group together for a short time, before COVID hit, and we have two sons the same age. Well, two of her children were diagnosed with Diabetes I within a year. So to say that is a huge part of her life lately is an understatement.

And so when it was her turn for a quilt ...

Good intentions and Good morning! from Charm About You

Cross stitch has been taking over as my favourite pastime recently. To be fair it's probably half and half with quilting, though I find I'm drawn to the meditative following of charts and making cross stitches after a day of work.

I purchased a few patterns this year and I'm working my way through them. The first one I completed is Good Intentions by Kathy Barrick. Its a lovely design and the sentiment is just so true of me.

Good Intentions by Kathy Barrick cross stitch, words read I myself am made entirely of flaws stitched together with good intentions, a lady holding an embroidery hoop and needle. There are scissor and star motifs and stacks of thread spools.

I made a few adjustments to the pattern and changed the colours slightly. The colours are a similar ...

Paul: There is a new restaurant in Ashburn.
Me: Uh huh.
Paul: Take a look. They have alligator.
Me: Cajun?
Paul: Yes. They have andouille sausage, shrimp and grits, jambalaya and also beignets.
Me: They sure look authentic.
Paul: Let's go.
Me: Happily.
Paul: Valentine's Day?
Me: Absolutely NOT.
Paul: Oh come on.
Me: Every place is overpriced, overhyped and overcrowded.
Paul: They cannot be any more overpriced than they already are.
Me: I did not come to America because I was missing crowds.

I won the argument. We will go another day.

In my opinion, the perfect ...

June 22nd?! from Ravelly1

How has this month nearly gotten away from me?! What have I been doing, you asked? Well let's see.
First I was watching the little ones:

I'll bet you thought I was talking about the grands....hehehehehe! Nope, can you see the two spotted fawns? They like to camp out in my yard in the afternoons around 5ish. When I went to the front door to take a photo, they heard me but didn't know from which direction I was. They froze in place. They were too cute. I was able to get a couple of pics ...
