I hope your 4th of July is wonderful. If you don't live in the states, perhaps it is a typical Tuesday for you. For us it is a day to remember the signing of the Declaration of Independence from Great Britain. I am thankful for those who fought for our freedoms. This day is always super hot, to the extent that books, poems, and songs phrase "hotter than the 4th of July". This is quite a contrast to our 2023 spring and June. I guess summer is finally here. We will start off our holiday by driving over the mountain to watch a parade my daughter's family will be in. We will have lunch then buzz back home where I hope we will get the air conditioner finally hooked up.
The past few days I have been plugging along - checking off my goal list!
Some hexies were made for the Spring Mystery quilt. I can honestly say that I am NOT yet hooked on EPP.
My Tula Pink Pineapple quilt is finally cut out - yay! I purchased the fabric a year ago and am so excited to make it. I will say, however, I was short some solids for my backgrounds and am awaiting its UPS arrival before I can really say it is completely cut out. I will say that everything is cut minus half of the background.
I enjoyed putting the cut pieces into the zipper pockets of the little projet bag I made last year.
I made July's Stashbee block too. It was super easy!
I went to Les Mis with a friend. It was fabulous! We also enjoyed a nice lunch and pedicure.

your hexies look so pretty and I am loving your first pineapple!
ReplyDeleteyou are so organised with your cut out pieces. Will make for easy and speedy progress on your blocks i am sure.
OH!!! Tula pineapples - how gorgeous. Happy 4th July to you . I'm not a huge fan of EPP either - not enough to do a whole Lucy Boston that is for sure.
ReplyDeleteNice hexies you have ready for more pretty flowers. Took me ages to enjoy EPP . great hand sewing when on Zoom.
ReplyDeleteLovely pineapple block..
Very fun pineapple block. I've done hexie's, but they aren't my favorite. Hopefully you can stay with it long enough to finish the project.
ReplyDeleteLove the pineapple block, even though I'm not normally a tula pink fan. I look forward to seeing more of them. The hexagons look great - are you thread basting or glue basting? Makes a difference in how you feel about it, I think. I switched to glue basting in a heartbeat, and I already liked EPP, but it made it more enjoyable for me. How fun to go anywhere with a friend!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that pineapple block AND Tula Pink fabrics! I've never really tried EPP, but I don't think I would enjoy it, but who knows, I might!! Thanks for linking up with Monday Musings!
ReplyDeletehappy 4th July............just a little late...........
ReplyDeleteLove Les Mis
