I had a wonderful few days of celebration for the 4th of July. My son and I always stay with my youngest brother and his family. They are so nice to be around. I took my son down on Monday and came back home. That way we got to have some guy time with my brother. They sighted in his shotgun and crossbow to get ready for hunting season. I went back on Thursday. My sis-in-law and I spent the afternoon thrifting. We each got a few things. It is so fun to see what other people no longer want and to see things we remember having as kids. I saw a few older sewing machines but didn't think to take pictures.
My parents met us at the house later that afternoon.
On Friday more my mom, my niece, her boyfriend and myself decided we liked the nice cool breeze on the porch and opted to not go to the parade with the others. It was a beautiful day. Later more people came, we had good food, good conversations and good times.
Back at home and back to sewing now.
This project is not on the design wall yet, but it is getting there.
It is paper pieced. I love the batik fabrics. I enjoy paper pieced patterns.
It just seems like it takes a long time to get them put together.
The kit is from Keepsake Quilting. The pattern is Larisa Key Designs In a Pickle by JWD Publishing.
I came across these photo storage boxes at my local Joann fabric store.
They are working pretty well for storing future quilts in.
They are a nice size and stack well, too.
