Summer Sampler 2020 :: Midsummer

This week's Summer Sampler block was designed by Megan/Canoe Ridge Creations and isn't the name, Midsummer, just perfect? Here in the Pacific Northwest, we're having some lovely summer days, and just drinking them in.

Unfortunately, I, um, didn't completely follow directions, so at first I considered my pinwheels as going backwards. But then Katy pointed out it all depends on the way the wind is blowing. That made me feel so much better. So my block isn't exactly like the designer's but still nice of course.

AND I've come to a realization.... After a long-time issue with sewing accurate flying geese, I've had much better luck when I pressed their seams open. Considering I've been a 'to-the-dark-side' presser for decades, here's one situation where I've definitely changed my ways.

Meanwhile, we're just past halfway through the sewalong, and I'm pretty darn happy where I'm headed.

Week 3: Lakeside     Week 4: Tide Pool

Week 5: Brae     Week 6: Convergence
