the days and weeks are just flying by and it will be August already tomorrow sew here are my OPAMs for July. Thanks to Kris and Peg who keep us on track..
My Bee group made “Bingo Blocks”for me sew this is the quilt I put together with the blocks.
Love the way they look together and now I have a lovely quilt to use in the “Humpy” ( if we ever get to go on that holiday )

FNSI for July
Last night I joined the lovely Wendy and 56 other ladies for FNSI .
I was happy to be working on this UFO.
all the strips were sewn together and cut into squares.
I sewed the top few rows together and was hoping to get the rest finished tonight. BUT we keep having power outages sew I guess that won’t be happening.
Thankfully my trusty ole Laptop is fully charged sew I can do my post and go over HERE to see what others have done. You may also like to visit..
Thanks Wendy for getting us together for another fun night …..

How the Days Fly By
While hubby is recovering I have been kept busy mowing “The Block” …
Before
After five hours of mowing ONE side of “ The Block” it is looking better.
I managed to work on some secret sewing and to get the parcels in the post…
Have also been in the Cave for some tiding and found lots UFOs tucked away in boxes….
I really would love to get them all done but there are just not enough hours in my day
Perhaps I should start on one for FNSI with Wendy . It's a great way to sit and sew with our online friends and get some sewing done.. You can sign on HERE to join us…
I am off to Patch now, have a great day.
