To Do Tuesday #56

Can you believe it is August already?! The summer is almost over already. The kids go back to school next week. I swear it gets earlier and earlier every year. Doesn’t seem to be much of a summer for them anymore. Very sad if you ask me.

I will be linking up with Carol @ Quilt Schmilt again this week. Last week the link never worked but hopefully you guys stopped by her blog anyway.

What Got Done This Week

Finally back on track with the making of my blocks but seem to keep forgetting to post them. LOL! Above is the 100 Days 100 Blocks 2023 SAL that started July 1st with Gnome Angel using Maple & Eucalyptus pattern. Below is 365 Block Challenge that I started in 2018. Katherine Kerr had a new pattern for 2023 but I am still plugging away on this one.

I also was able to work on the following during our monthly quilty zoom call. It was my first time working on something other than the sewalongs.

Afterthoughts

This week I received another installment of On Wander Lane. It was the 4th of July blocks. I am getting a little anxious to finish up March so I can work on something new.

Yesterday found me in Santa Cruz at the Coastal Campus of UC Santa Cruz. It was a gorgeous day at the beach and I enjoyed the exhibits as well as the walk along the bluffs. There was some really great views and of course beautiful flowers.
