The Changes September Brings

I enjoyed the last holiday weekend of summer...

there were a few get-togethers with family and friends...

and wrangling gran littles too!

Tuesday was little Miss Evie's first day of...

well,

you can read the sign!

She grew up!

Just like that... it truly was in the blink of an eye!

Little sister... Elsea

is a character...

obviously making her plans for the day! 

sun hat, floatation device, lotion...

that's my kind of day!!!

I think she will do just fine without her sister...

a brief chance to be the "only child"...

even if it is for just a few hours a day!

I have been making slow progress on my Dresden project (s).

I didn't get them finished like I had hoped I would...

that was my goal for the month of August. 

So now that list became my Aug/Sept goals! ha

I have also been playing with that bundle of fabric I shared on the last post.

I can't share it yet... 

but it's going to be fun!

Today is Throwback Thursday!

I'm sharing Harvey

a Miss Rosie's Quilt Co. pattern.

This giant sized basket should go nicely with my giant Swoon quilt!

Sweet Treats and Sneak Peeks

Happy September!

I thought it would never get here!

There is something else 

I have been waiting for...

 the new edition of

Sew Cherry to arrive... and was so happy 

to have a little treat of

the Lori Holt tins to tide me over until it 

comes out!

They can be found at Fat Quarter Shop!

Don't you love the gingham?!?

These 6 tins can be purchased all in a group or

one by one, so you can pick your favorite colors!

The 6 pack are for those of us who just can't decide!

The red tin comes with sweet little note cards inside!

I put my vintage seam bindings inside one tin.

I think they look cute in there!

The tins are in of the Bee In My Bonnet signature colors...

which are simply vintage goodness!

I have some other eye candy to share with you...

Shhhh....

here,

you can

take

a 

peek!

Sweet, right?

I'm going to have fun playing with these!!!

But I won't be able to show you more for a couple of weeks!

The Rain In Spain Stays Mainly In The Plains

I recently posted the start of this quilt... I can't believe that I am finished with it already!

I missed the quilt along but maybe I can encourage a round II of the Scrappy Swoon Quilt Along.

Actually, I intend on sharing this at my retreat in October as a project.

Just like Swoon or Scrappy Swoon by Thimble Blossoms, it's a great pattern

and there isn't one fabric combination for it that hasn't looked great!

I already have a second one cut out and ready to go... except this time

I will use the TB pattern that calls for a jelly roll.

(hint: I found my JR on Chestnut Street)

This large version was made with 3 1/2" squares.

This is the photo of  Scrappy Swoon was the one I shared on Instagram.

I made a promise to myself to get my sEvERal Dresden projects under control this month...

and I'm afraid that I didn't quite meet my goal in doing that...

but I have made progress...

I have 16 out of 24 blocks ready to sew together... 

the other blocks  need the center circles still.but I'm getting the 

hang of it and even though it's easy to sit down at the 

sewing machine... for piecing...

I find it harder than heck to

make myself sit and do hand stitching...

but

it

is getting

done.

At first I was going to make it larger than the 24 blocks...

but that was during a brief couple of days when I was looking

for ways to drive myself more insane.

Aside from quilting...

my gran little #2 had some news to share...

a sibling will be arriving the first of February!

That will make gran little #6!

We don't know if it's pink or blue yet... but it will be a tie  if it's 

a girl.

Gran little #5 will be arriving the first of December and he will make

it a count of 3 for boys and 2 for girls.

Yep... we need to tie it up with the February arrival!

Over the weekend my friend Rhonda and I went to see...

a matinee of My Fair Lady!

It was so fun to be out and immersed in 

a classic musical!

The songs still keep playing in my mind!

(now does the post title make sense)

hehe
