Wednesday Weather Report #3

It's Wednesday, so of course we are going to start with a Weekly Weather Report. There were a few days where the temps were only 1 degree away from the next color up or down but in the end they were all in the  60s or 70s. Today it looks like another borderline day which I think will be in the 60s when 1pm rolls around.

Maybe you can see that I decided to use a narrow blanket stitch with variegated neutral thread.
It seems to be blending well, almost taking on some of the fabric colors.

I'm still trying to get ahead on cutting temperature squares. I know I'm going to have multiples of each fabric in the quilt so I'm just trying to get "ahead" on the variety. I finally invested a whole $2.99 for a coupon holder and labeled each section with the corresponding temperature. It's working so far but it's getting pretty full with summer colors...


Our local hexie club is modifying my design to make a Quilt of Valor for a local event. We will each make 3 red & blue rosettes to be appliqued to a white background. The November event is called Red, White & Gratitude. There will be a quilt show of all the donated quilts, along with raffled items, and then the quilts will be donated to vets from my county in Western NY/USA. I have an idea for a quilt that I also hope to make...just need to get it started.

One down...2 to go...

And the most fun was meeting an out-of-state bloggy friend yesterday - a bloggy friend who likes hexies!! I won't post who it was until I know they are home safe and sound - no need to advertise empty houses!!

Happy Hump Day!
I'll be topping off my day by hiking with friends at our local state park after work :)

    I love the colours of your week! Mine is decidedly cool, but I know in 6 months time we will each be in the opposite camp. I've been keeping my pre-cut shapes in a ziplock bag so far. Your coupon holder looks like a great idea, but unfortunately coupons aren't a thing here, so we don't have holders, either! I will keep looking for a good storage solution.

    We are indeed home safe and sound. It's a long trip, but it went fine.

    Such fun yesterday to meet a blog friend. And now I am working on those EPP blocks again. See what you did!
