Fresh Sewing Day

Fresh Sewing Day
For some reason, Fresh Sewing Day slipped my mind until I flipped the calendar to September !?!? Really, how can it be? I'm not ready to call summer over - not quite - but seriously, it's getting close, isn't it? Lily's Quilts hosts Fresh Sewing Day, and I love to join the linky party and see what quilty happiness my fellow quilters have found.

I have really enjoyed the sewing I've done in August. I finished up Kaleidoscope and my Summer Sampler - both of which I've written posts about {see Kaleidoscope here and Summer Sampler here}. And I've already showed you photos in bounteous quantity. But in the spirit of the day, I'll show you one more - my most recent finish and I think the one that was the biggest stretch for me. With the mucho paper-piecing and the working with solids, I confess it challenged me. But oh was it fun! I got serious pleasure just looking at the blocks on the design board, the basted quilt on the deck, and the finished quilt tossed over the banister. About as much pleasure as hubby did sneaking in pictures of me! "The quilt, honey. Take pictures of the quilt!"

Before I had a chance to publish this post, I realized Fresh Sewing Day participants have recently switched to posting a mosaic of the previous month's projects. So I've added one of mine . . .
