It's been a busy week with one thing and another...... and now we enter August....
The last 2 Tuesleydale / Wensleydale blocks have been done.... 1 have 60 and soon I'll plan how they go together... when my design wall is free.....
At the moment it has a Parliament of Owls all over it.... I made the 10 small owls earlier this week... I have included a large one so you can see the size difference....
Earlier this year I was given a roll of braid quilt Foundation Paper Piecing, so I have started that. I cut up a partial Jelly Roll into the required size and will just continue until such time as I run out of pieces then decide on the sizes. It is cumbersome and not the easiest way to do braids but of course it ends up straight and accurate and a good one for my social sewing days....
I wonder if you have seen Marina's snow globes..... well I fell immediately in love with them and I happened to have the same preprinted panel as she is using so I asked if I could copy her idea..... and so I have started stitching them (replacing the evening table runner stitching) I am using a variegated Cottage Garden thread (which I had already) which makes it easy for me not to have to decide what colours go where....
Trail Mix is a big quilt and the largest I can fit on my frame .... I am slowly doing an all over design on it..... just love the scrappiness of this one....
This weekend I want to spend a couple of days quietly at home.....
Righto Gotto Go... that quilting is not going to do itself!!!

You've been busy, as you always do. I'm looking forward to seeing your blue Wensleydale. I do love the border on your trail mix, I'm looking forward to seeing it completed too.
Loving the all blues Wensleydale (Tuesleydale)...those owls are fabulous...is there a pattern or are they a Fiona original idea?
