the start of my Quilt

Here is a quilt square I stitched for the beginning of my new quilt --my Stiching friends are also contributing squares
the binding around the quilt squares is the fabric in the background and the backing will be the bright green in the fabric
I will also use the green in the front-- I see i missed a bit of pink in the square --off to finish that now

Surprise Surprise I have a finish

Under pressure I finally finished the sock monkey
I still need to tweek the pattern a bit but not bad for a first
It has been another whirl wind month but I am not free of committments as far as volunteerings goes to till the fall -- Bowling is also finished till September
Now if we could get some summer weather all would be well with the world
My grandaughter Brooklyn became a TEENAGER on the 25th of this month -man seems like she was just a babe in arms
not much new here - I am working on a quilt for myself and a few of my dear friends are making brushstroke butterflies for me -- am on the hunt for finishing fabric now
Thats it for now----- hope to be back real soon
