FINALLY A COOL OFF.....

 came...it only lasted a couple days.  It's back to hot again.  So I took advantage of the cool down and did some crocheting.  I am doing the Crochet Along over at Jolly Jabber.  They have one for yarn, quilting and Cross Stitch, interested, just click on the link above and see...you might join in too.   I've got quite a few Granny Squares stacked up.  

These are going to ripped out and used in the bunch of granny squares I'm making.

I also got  my Blue Birdhouse made for RSC 2022 Color Challenge.  It reminded me of the big Blue Spruce tree in our front yard.  There are always birds sitting on the limbs.

I laid out Zoe's Flags today.  This is going to be a lap quilt...for Zoe to use at her practice meets.  Her legs get cold!

What I'll be working on today is the SHARR...it's almost a filmsy.  This quilt top is made with all scraps..so I think it qualifies for Oh! Scraps.  Just needs a little more embroidery and a border.  

Hope you all have an awesome.....

IT'S TUESDAY.......

 so it's time for my To-Do Tuesday, being hosted by Linda.  Here is last weeks list.

1.Work on SAHRR center panel.✔

2. Do Wk 20 of TAST👎

3. Do more Hand Picked blocks.✔

4. Cut Blue Baskets.✔

5. Work on Quilty 365

 The SAHRR center panel is coming along.  I've gotten side tracked on this one.  But I'll get back to it soon.

Well, I did pretty good with this weeks list, 4 of 5 done.  That's pretty good for me.  As for the TAST stitches 19 and 20, Oyster stitch and the Basque stitch isn't getting done.  I've tried for 2 weeks to get these 2 stitches, I've wore out several pieces of Muslin doing these 2 stitches, so I've given up.  So I'll move on to Wk 21, which is the Raised Herringbone Band.  It involves 2 stitches and lacing.  Just click on the link above to see this stitch tutorial.

 as for the Hand Picked blocks, I didn't get any actually done, but I have several traced.  So I'm counting this as done.

 

My Blue Basket have turned pink.  I was digging around in my blues and didn't think I had enough to work on this, so they are now going to be pink.  They will be different pinks....you can see my post about this HERE.

 I got the last row of Quilty 365 done, but when I went looking for the pink fabric I used for the strips, well, there was none. 

  I've searched hi and low on the internet looking for it, but, nope haven't found any.  So the last strip will have to be a different color.  Any suggestions!!!!

While I blog hopping I found a Crochet-a-Long....I think I'll join in.

TO-DO TUESDAY STUFF......

 It's Tuesday, time for my To-Do Tuesday list...want to check out all the folks who make a list?  Head over to Gail's place, Texas Guilt Gal to find out.

My list from last week...

 1. More Fall Sampler Blocks👎

2. SAHRR✔

3. Finish October Circles👎

4. Do Wk. 11 of TAST✔

5. Put a border around Dresden Plate.👎

 1. The Fall Sampler is the same as last time...didn't get any blocks done.

2.  I did work on my SAHRR this week.  I've got the last of the star flowers pinned on.  I have 5 more star flowers to sew down.  The the next border goes on.

3. The circles didn't get worked on...still in the bag, waiting.

4.  The TAST stitch this week is French Knots.  Head over to Sharon's place, Pintangle to see all of her examples of French Knots.  This is what I'm working on.

I didn't get the border on the Dresden Plate.  I was rummaging around in my fabric to see what color to use for this quilt.  I decided to go with this one...the pretty blue at the top of the picture.  I just need to cut the strips and sew them on.

I've started reading What the Wind Knows by Amy Harmon.  

 

It's all about fining your heritage and love.   I've only got about 50 pages into the book, but I like it.

I was searching for recipes for Kidney Bean salad and found this one at the Bush's Beans site.  I think I'll give it a try....I'll let you know how it works out.

STITCHING TIME.....

 Kathy over at Kathy's Quilts hosts Slow Sunday Stitching.  So today I'll be working on my SAHRR Quilt.  I've got one side to put Star Flowers on.  I've also got some goodies to put in my center block that will explain what this quilt is all about.  But that's for another day.  Here's where I'm at on this quilt...

Those are called Star Flowers.  Don't know anything about Star Flowers...neither did I...head over HERE to find out all about them.  I also have a lot of embroidery to do on this quilt.  All the fruits and veggies, the Star Flowers and the next row will need embroidery.  You might ask what is the next row.......well, you can't have a garden without insects...so that's the next row.  I'll be adding that one, once the stars are done.

Well, that's it for today.  Have an awesome.....
