I've been away from my sewing machine for what seems like ages! Today I completed a string block for Sana! It's the August block for our sewing bee called Scrappy Sew Bee It! Sana loves dragonflies and she was hoping we might be able to include them in her block. If you look closely, you can see them flitting around on the block edge. Dragonflies love flowers so I planted a happy garden for them.
And the pincushion is on its way to Alabama to a new friend who has a warm place in her heart for the color purple! The purple is much more "purpley" in person.
I'm determined to quilt my Ruby quilt this weekend! I think I was determined to do this about a month ago so I'll see if I can stick with the plan!
Have a very happy Labor Day Weekend!
