Mid Summer Days

The dog days of summer are here. It is very warm; but it could be worse. The Saharan dust that is over Houston, keeps us slightly cooler; but with a lot more allergies.

The walk around the Buffalo Bayou is a treat to butterfly lovers as shown below. 

I have also finished 2 more tops for donations. The Chinese coins is made from leftover stratas from previous quilts. 

The trip around the world is made with leftover 2.5 inches strips of batiks that I had precut for another project.

I am so glad all these beautiful strips of fabrics are not in a scrap box any longer.

Bonnie Hunter from Quiltsville fame has a pattern similar to both tops.

Color my world- June

 Some of my June tall buildings for color my world quilt. I have finished June and I have to start the July buildings. They are a lot of fun to make. 

Hand dye fabrics are being used for all the buildings.

The red puzzle quilt

 Another comforter to be donated to QGGH (my guild).

This top had been on a hanger waiting to be quilted for a couple of years. It finally saw the light of the sewing machine.

I used a jelly roll and some red yardage left over from another quilt that is still waiting to be quilted. 

This quilt was quilted on the hoop using Amelie Scott expansion set 5.
