Progress on All Fronts

Good morning, my friends. Yesterday's sewing had me finishing up the assignment for two of my projects. My morning started with finishing Tiny Treasure #60. This one has stem stitch, satin stitch, straight stitch, and lazy daisy.

That completed the assignment for this go-round. (I've been working on these in groups of 12.) Here are the 60 Tiny Treasures I have so far.

There are just 12 more to finish, and then I'll be ready to sew them into a quilt. I have an idea for this, and I'm excited to get started on it.

For now, it was time to move along to the quilt binding for "The Story of My Day." I turned the second corner. Probably I have 2-3 more days to a finish on this.

After that, I took a walk on the treadmill, and finished the day's housekeeping assignment. When I moved into the sewing room to work on the "Northern Wilderness" blocks, I found my little sewing assistant there waiting.

Did someone say "fish"? I like fish!

These were finished except for the top-stitching, and I was able to finish that off yesterday. First, the "Salmon" block.

And then, the "Mountains" block.

There are 16 blocks for this quilt. These are the 12 I have so far.

So today will look a lot like yesterday. I'll start on Block 6 for "Home is Where My Flock Is."

And then I'll continue with the quilt binding. I'm hoping I can reach the third corner today. 

My first task in the sewing room today will be to make June's block for the "Inverted Stars" project. These are the blocks I have so far. I'm settled on lavender for June's "pastel" block.

When that's finished, I'll start on the "Yoder Sisters." I've wanted to make this quilt for a long time...years. It's day has finally come.

Already, I've selected these fabrics. There will also be a white.

So, that's a full day of sewing. Also, I'll need to get out and hoe the garden. There's one housekeeping chore to do, but that won't take long. I'm looking forward to a mostly sewing day.

So, it's "Sun"day, but here at the Three Cats Ranch, it's looking more like "Cloud" day. It'll keep me cool while I hoe the garden, but some sunshine would be nice. Matthew and I were supposed to meet up for a walk tomorrow. We've decided to do an indoor activity instead. I'll tell you more about it in tomorrow's post. While I'm thinking of it, tomorrow's post might come later in the day. It just depends on how early I get myself out of bed. For now...Sunday morning pancakes await. Have a good day at your end. I hope your June weather is warmer than ours has been.
