It's already hitting 100 degrees here...ugh!
But, summer does mean more picnics, family outings, and
Monkey Boy time since they aren't in school.
We took the family on an outing to a nature park...it was so hot, but still fun.
This beauty greeted us near the entrance
Feeding the fowls in foul looking, green swampy water
I saw purple!
I had to take pics up close and didn't notice the bee at first. Yikes!
Time to go home
Since it's hot outside, staying inside isn't such a bad thing because it means sewing time!
Yesterday, Barbara from the quilting group in our neighborhood showed us a quick and easy way
to make one of Missouri Quilt Company's blocks, so of course I made one.
So easy! Jenny Doan has a You Tube video HERE for a Churn Dash Pinwheel Quilt.
Plus, it's in their magazine with really clear directions.
Now I just have to decide what direction I want to place the blocks.
I love the two different choices it gives me!
My little break is over, so back to sewing these cute and easy pinwheel blocks.

ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a great time. That swampy water looks so full of life! Love your churn dash!

ReplyDeletelove the bee and all that purple...
Looks like a fun day with the monkey boys. We have a neighbor's pond that gets that way during the summer and it stinks on top of it. We haven't even came close to 100 yet.
ReplyDeleteI love peacocks and their color. They sure make strange sounds though. Eww that scummy water is gross. Love the flowers.
ReplyDeleteIt's hot here as well. Love the photos!!
ReplyDeleteWhat cute blocks Carol!! You are braver than I am.....100 degrees.....I'm staying in the house. Beautiful peacock!
ReplyDeleteYummm...those bees love a sweet flower! I like the 1st block - I've always thought the churn dash was just lovely.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun day. A pinwheel inside a churn dash, love that. I cleaned & Windex'ed, and thought of you today.
