Good morning! I guess I am getting used to the heat – at least I only spend about 35 minutes in it during my morning walk. Other than that – it is in the 70’s inside! I hate to see the electric bill this month, but at least we have been very comfortable! Maybe Canada will send us an early Fall. This is probably wishful thinking!
I have just finished all the work on Nesting!!!! It is now on the infamous “to be quilted” rack! I am so pleased with this quilt. The first time I made a block was for a Quilt Show donation project! I believe I started this quilt in 2017 and poor baby was ignored too many times for what reasons I cannot remember at this time! But it is a pretty flimsy and ready for hand quilting – not now though. I will have to have it completed by next June, but will start quilting sometimes in the late Fall! Always feels so good to complete a project!!!!
I changed the original border because the Designer did not provide an adequate picture of her version. I decided to put the group of 4 leaves in each corner and mirror imaged the vines!
Have a great Sunday and week! My next hand projects (UFO’s) are Mountmellick and Brinton Hall.

Thank you Kathy! I will try to get it in the hoop during the Fall! I bought this old pattern at a Quilt Show when I first started to quilt – $3.00 – Cheap, but such a beautiful quilt! Hugs

I live in Canada and we have had lots of hot and humid weather this year too. Love your birds and their nest!

Thank you for the compliment – When will you be sending a Canadian Cold front this Fall to Texas (LOL). I did not think your area would experience this – guess it will be a trip to the North Pole to get cold again! Take care

Happy dance! Yay! Nesting looks beautiful; I look forward to seeing how you quilt it! I live very close to the Canadian border, and I can tell you, we are all in this drought together. Not to mention suffering from many wildfires, and smokey air. We missed summer, and are hoping for a pleasant fall. Bring on the rain!
