Stitching...Stitching...

August is always very hot in western Kansas...it is supposed to be 102 degrees to day! My time has been spent inside right next to my sewing machine.

I decided that I needed a quilt to enter in our local museum for a quilt exhibit. My completed quilts I have already shown there or are at other places or unavailable. So I gathered my thoughts together last week and started some thing new.

I am using a print featuring flying doves against a sky background. I decided to add some embroidered doves to make the quilt unique. So I have stitched 24 blocks with flying doves and sparkling stars last week.

My fabric is washed and ready to cut strips of pink and blue to create nine patches to insert between the embroidered blocks. My goal is to get all the pieces cut and stitched this week. And even get to the quilting and binding...I will have to see how the week goes.
