We survived the wind and 100 degree temps over the weekend. My husband didn't even play golf, so you know it was miserable out there. Friday evening we went to grandson Jack's baseball game where we could set up our lawn chairs under big shade trees along the 3rd baseline. But we skipped going to his big sister's fastpitch tournament on Saturday and Sunday. It was just too hot for us old folks.
Yesterday I pulled out a pile of 3.5" squares of a paint splatter print. It was a leftover backing that I had cut into a big stack of squares. Paired up with squares cut from the collection of solids it will make a very cute doll quilt. I got the layout idea after seeing it on Kat's blog - Scrapbox Quilts on Saturday. Like always, inspiration from another quilter. This will use up quite a few scraps even though it's a small project.
Last week I got 1 side of the puffy bag all sewn, so this week I'll keep working at the second side. I am using an old polyester batting cut into little pieces to stuff those puffs.
After a whole week of mostly sewing on small projects like bags and RSC blocks, it's time to focus on some bigger things again. The 5th row of the Saturday Sampler is getting it's turn this week. Today I plan to cut the pieces for it.
I'm already thinking about sewing goals for July, and was thinking it's time to use the Indigo Way blocks to make something. This was a Bonnie Hunter mystery introduced back in winter of 2023-24 I think. I made blocks but not enough for a full sized quilt. However, maybe it's enough to make a Quilt of Valor. It's time to just do it!!
And while looking at UFOs, I think this string quilt needs some attention too. It's been hanging in the closet, in rows for far too long.

We had the heat, wind and humidity this weekend too, good time to stay in and sew for sure. And we never have a hard time finding a project to work on do we!! I think binding is on my list for today.
