Another lazy week, this time because I was waiting for some charms to arrive in the mail! They finally came so I could plan out the “road Trip” part of the block, commemorating our three weeks traveling from Ohio to Florida and back through North Carolina and West Virginia. The charms represent each of our four destination states and the road is represented by a woven chain stitch in navy and white. Swarovsky crystals around the charms for Georgia (Atlanta) and North Carolina (Shelby) represent the dayilies that were the primary purpose of the trip (husband was attending the national conference of the American Hemerocallis Society):
Just a few more touches and this block will be completed! Then, on to July!
I picked up a fabric bundle at quilt guild for our mid-summer “challenge” (making holiday placemats for Meals on Wheels), due in November. So that’s another project to add to the to-do list, along with laying out the Crazy Quilt/Bead Journal Project blocks for July (fabric arrived in the same mail for this), August and September. Hoping to get some fabric cutting done by the end of this coming week… Maybe this weekend’s International Hermit and Stitch Weekend will encourage me to get stitching! Looks like cross-stitch is going to continue to languish…
