Week with No Focus

     After the week with granddaughters, I have not been able to focus on a project and the week has flown by.  I did finally find a suitable green fabric for the binding and finished this comfort quilt that began with donated leaf blocks. 

Yesterday I pieced a backing for another comfort quilt and pieced a baby gift I Spy top. 

      Wednesday was sew day for my church quilt group.  I did a little sewing on drunkard path blocks because I want to improve my curve piecing.  

 Much of my time was spent helping beginners sandwich a quilt, layout blocks for a top or troubleshoot a bobbin problem.  

       We will meet Monday for craft sewing and I was asked to lead work with some machine applique.  I searched my patterns and chose a couple, wrote up a tip sheet and started a sample for a demo.  I love this block by Carol Swift of justletmequilt.com. 

 My idea is to use the large bird on a twig or the flower alone on mug rugs.  You can find the free pattern link here:

I am thinking of working in the yard a little today.  Hope you enjoy being outdoors or some time sewing or quilting.
