I have been busy shopping, cooking and packing for my girls as they head off to college, but I did manage to squeeze in little mini-retreat at the lake. I only took hand work, so I don't have a lot to show for my time, but I did manage to finish another star.
I think this one may be my favorite so far. The colors are a little off in the photo - it's actually more blue. I love the fabric.
I've managed to slip in a little time at my sewing machine over the past few weeks, too. I decided to leave a project out on the table and just do a few minutes here and there as time allowed. I've managed to progress from this:
to this:
In just a few short sessions. I want to get this one assed because this pattern has an appliqué border. I've always wanted to do an appliqué border and this one is fairly reasonable.
I still plugging along on the rug. I really wanted to have it finished by now, but just can't seem to find the time or the motivation to keep it going! It is getting closer...
Maybe I can shoot for Labor Day?

All your projects are looking great! Guess I'm in a different camp than you cuz I'm so glad that summer is nearly over - I thought it would NEVER end this year - the heat has been unrelenting! Looking forward to cooler temps and even the first snowfall!
Love your blog! Just found it from another blog...I'll be stopping back again soon! Nice projects you have going on!
