I’m way behind on making labels for my finished quilts mostly because I need to learn how to use the memory features of my new (last summer) sewing machine. That was part of the class last fall but that was last fall. And I usually can’t remember what was yesterday’s wordle word was. I watched the sewing mastery videos then tried to touch the pad in the right order then watched the video again. I finally got it right! Then I made a list of all the quilts that need labels…..I made a couple more because repetition does reinforce memory… four more to sew. Ann

Sweater finish

Friendship stars
Little goals…..one day it was finish sewing the 30 some half square triangles before lunch and since hubby was off fishing my stomach was the only one to be considered. Then to sew the columns of block parts. Think about border options……middle photo it needs a spacer border before the 4 patches and half square triangles my eyes need a little rest from the quilt blocks to the border. Just little goals over a few days and then I was done. Ann

Small steps
Small steps of progress but I also stayed home all afternoon! It has been hot and humid here so what better place to spend the day than in my sewing room. Ann

More iris
I think the iris were at their peak bloom yesterday when the iris crew was there to work. Many more blooms than last week. We mostly deadheaded and pulled the obvious weeds. They were gorgeous. Ann

Spuddle
Isn't that a great word for not getting anything done! Spuddle......like combining spinning my wheels and muddled or befuddled state of mind. Some days and weeks are like that..........
No projects so show for the last couple weeks but I have helped in the iris patch at McCrory Gardens, part of South Dakota State University. The iris are late this year because spring was so slow to warm into summer. But they are glorious and even more will be blooming this week. --Ann--
