Hello there, 

I am baaaack! These past few weeks have been a little crazy, with getting our older boys settled into their apartment near the university campus, and our younger one oriented for cyber school! But I am hoping that next week things will go back to normal...whatever form that will take this school year ;). 

our youngest all set up in his "classroom"

I will be our son's "learning coach" this year, so will need to spend time supervising classes and homework. Luckily his classroom is in a corner of my quiltroom so I have a  great excuse to spend lots and lots of time in there~ ha!

Another change this year is that I am changing from Wordpress to Blogger for my blogging needs. I of course hope that you will sign up and follow me via email on here, but you will have to sign up for that. It's a pain, I know, but I haven't been happy with Wordpress for a while now and they just rolled out some changes that I really find awful so now seemed like a good time to change. I will try and make the change-over as easy as possible and will inform you of anything you need to do, as soon as I figure it out, so please bear with me!

So, now for some quilty goodness! I haven't done a whole lot of creating lately ( and boy, do I miss it!), but I did finish 2 embroideries provided by the Love & Hugs from Australia group ( you can find a link to their FB page here). I am simultaneously doing their Christmas and their summer stitch along, and just picking and choosing the ones I like best. No plans for them yet, but in the meanwhile it is a nice, relaxing thing to do at night while watching TV. 

Aren't they so sweet?

I also made this little quilt top with a pattern that was provided in another FB group. The original pattern called for fall colors and sunflowers, but my scrap bin ( and my personal preference) dictated tulips and these colors...

This one is all sandwiched and ready for some machine appliqueing and hand quilting! Of course it has to wait patiently for its turn because there are other quilts also waiting for my undivided attention. Are your summers unproductive quilt-wise also? Or is it just me?

Well, this will be a short blog post this week. Please leave me a comment so that I know that feature is working, and if you see a sign up via email box, I hope you fill that out as well.

Until next time~happy creating!

Monique
