Blueberries

I finally found a way to keep the birds from eating all my blueberries.  Here's what I picked yesterday:

Medallion QAL

Here are the first two blocks in the Medallion QAL.  I need to make 16 blocks for the complete quilt top.

Kayaking

Yesterday I went with six other women from Gig Harbor on another kayak trip.  We left at 11:00 and went as far as Sea Cliff (on Colvos Passage).  We ate lunch there and then returned to the Randall Street boat launch a little after 3:00.  It was a beautiful day in the low 80s.  I have so much sunscreen on that I look like a ghost.

Rock Planter

We met with our landscaper, Chris, on Saturday and chose the stone for our new planter.  Today he and his assistant, Anthony, started work on it.  We didn't have enough stone, so we'll have to go back for more.

Medallion Quilt Along

This week I'm starting the Medallion Quilt Along.  I'm starting this quilt along because I'm hoping to learn some new techniques, namely cutting and sewing curves.  I've only made one quilt with curves before and it had large curves which were, presumably, easier to sew.

String of Pearls QAL

I'm now participating in this quilt-along.  The quilt is called String of Pearls, but I'm using my own fabric:  a Settle print.

Quilts for Grandsons

This quilt is for the new baby, Cole, who's scheduled to be born August 2.    It's blues and greens with a little coral.  The fabric group is "Backyard Baby".

The quilt to the right and below is for Noah.  It's a simple block quilt set on point.  It's 
made with Japanese children's prints.  Ellie had to get in the picture too.
