It’s hard to believe that another quarter has flown by. I had 28 projects on my list for second quarter of 2021. I finished four of those. They all happened to be applique projects but they are in use already and look beautiful. Let’s take a look!

Quilt Diary: Going on a Picnic and other Sew-a-long Updates
It is hard to believe that we are now in the last week of July. Where did the month go? I kept thinking I was going to post every week. LOL! That never happened. Realistically the writing gets done, it is the photography that is lagging behind. This time around I thought I could do a follow-up on all of my Sew-a-Longs.
It feels weird not participating in the 100 days 100 blocks this year as I have done it the last two summers. I still have 2018 and 2019 to assemble. Plus it is not a new pattern this year. It takes a lot of effort to do a block every day although 100 days is easier than 365 days. For 2020, I am sticking with some easier sew-a-longs so I can get caught up. Is that an oxymoron?

Quilt Diary: June Goals and Update
I started a blog two months ago and never published it. I apologize for my inconsistency these past few months. I will try and close the gap and not make this too long of a blog. I have been busy with my projects as well as work and home.

Quilt Diary: March Madness
I gave some serious consideration to not putting this blog under the Quilt Diary label but decided screw it. I’ve been living in a world of secrets for the past 15 months. You know how some of you have secret sewing, I had secret business deal in the works. It finally came out in the open on March 2nd when we announced our company was being sold and the deal was closed on March 11th. I am officially self-employed now. The past two weeks have been high stress, emotional, and ton of work. I have worked 12 hour days for 12 days straight which left zero time to quilt and I mean ZERO. This has been the hardest part of the past two weeks as I use quilting to keep my sanity. While it has been three weeks since I posted a blog, not a lot of things have happened in my quilting world due to work life. So let’s see if I can get you updated on the good stuff!

Quilt Diary: SAL Update
Coming to you from Denver today. On the road for hockey with my grandson Shaun. We are in day 2 of this tournament. We have played so very physical teams and hard teams. We managed to squeak out a win 3 out of 3 games. Playoffs start this afternoon so I thought I would squeeze in a quick post between games since I didn’t post anything on Wednesday. And that would be because Sunday the washer died and I ended up running around all over town to get a new washer and dryer by Wednesday so we could finish washing clothes for hockey. Very little sewing really happened at the sewing machine. Continue reading “Quilt Diary: SAL Update”
