Sunny Day Smiles!

Monday turned out to be the lovely day we were hoping for - it didn't rain!  The sky was blue.

And I grabbed a few willing quilters who wanted to get out for a walk, stretch their legs, breathe in some fresh air and MOVE their bodies after being inside since they arrived on Wednesday.

And I was raring to go too.  There had been so much rain and it was nice to have a cooperative day where we could just go close by and walk along the creek for about an hour.

That's it.  One hour.  We can step away from the machines and projects for one hour and do something good for our bodies.

And off we go!

Things are blooming - everywhere!

And the creek - not a great photo, but such a lovely sound.

Delicate little woodland blooms.

Even the colors of the wildflowers - so pretty against the green of leaves.

Favorite old barns begging to be photographed amidst all o the green - and that blue blue sky.

I've shared this old wreck of a car before.  I'm still curious about its story - this time we were delighted by the blooms on the bush growing out from under the hoot - or where the hood once was.

And that creek - just burbling by after all of the rain we've had.

Close up of blooms....

Back at the house - projects were being completed in hopes of some over-the-rail opportunities!

Bag finish for a swap - finished!

More blocks still on the design wall.

Units for a block of the month happening here -

Love this string quilt top finish!

And I had some finishes of my own!

I'll start sewing this top together in the next day or so. I'm going to leave it here for a while just to look and see if anything sticks out or two of the same Fabrics are too close together.

Whooohooo!⁣⁣

My hope is that this will be ready for a mid-August pattern release.

The May Quiltvillians are departing this morning. While laundry is running I'll be getting this top together.

When I get the top into the quilting machine, I'll start cutting those 30 kits I need for Ireland/Scotland coming up soon.
