S is for....Summer....Strawberries....Spools

Summer is here!  

to celebrate, I had to purchase a bit of fabric!

The strawberry fabric is Riley Blake...Sweetcakes

The precious gingham is Dear Stella! I was thrilled when I found this one!  I LOVE gingham and this is a great color!

S is also for Spools....

And I have a quilt top finished....a Spool Quilt top...

I may add just a top and bottom border....

and this one will be machine quilted...

happy monday!

Finally!

As fun as the wedding was to plan and experience {and it truly was a complete blast}....it is good to have some time to work on a couple of things I have been wanting to try.

I have always loved the simplicity of a spool quilt...

where the textures and the quilting really do most of the talking....

 

I need to gather together a few more 'black' fabrics for the spool tops and bottoms and perhaps throw in some Essex in white and natural for the negative space....

And then I have a super secret project...that will have to wait for it's debut...

  

We had another busy weekend....daughter #2, Maggie, graduated from OSU on Sunday...

she was one out of 5 students graduating with a degree in Animal Nutrition....out of 10,000 graduating students! I found that amazing! She is a smarty pants!

happy monday!
