It is hard to believe that July is almost over! I have so much to catch up on and share. Here is a little glimpse into the happenings here at the Hollow...
I have been working away on Great Grandma's Hummingbird quilt. My purchase of a Huion light pad has been a huge help in the piecing process. The soft light helps me to fit the Hummingbirds around the octagon without any eye strain. The light pad will be a great help with transferring quilt patterns and fine art as well. :)
Does this look familiar? I found another Bucilla stamped cross stitch alphabet quilt. These over sized quilts are so charming! They date from the late 60's to early 70's. Although my bunny quilt is still in the process of getting the edging stitched on, this one is going to be the alternate stitching quilt for those cool fall evenings to come... or maybe sooner! ;)
Did I tell you that my birthday was a few weekends ago? I will show you later the special gift that I purchased for myself. Let me just say, it made me smile... I know myself so well! ;)
Below is a special gift that I received from my coworker. Lots of candy, a wonderful article on gourd crafting and a beer bottle that has an insert to be a candle. Take a look at the label... Pumpkin Ale. Isn't it wonderful!! I think that it suits me perfectly and am going display it on one of my son's barnboard creations. It will look so rustically cool! :)
I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer. :) My camera is overloaded with events and items to share, and I have been doing some serious baking. My fellow bloggers have been putting up some wonderful recipes!! My next purchase better be a new treadmill, or this blogger is going to need a new wardrobe! ;)
