The Garden & progress Vintage Rouge & Swoon

Hi! Hope everyone had a great weekend ! It has been HOT here ! We had a thunderstorm come thru her last night and again this morning so we are getting some relief. I went out this morning and cut my hydrangeas to dry . Also picked a bowl of tomatoes.

 Sunday was devoted to getting caught up on my VINTAGE ROUGE BOM quilt blocks for Month #2 & # 3 . I finished 4 of the blocks #2 using the invisible machine applique method that Doreen taught me and may I say I LOVE IT ! I also finished sewing all 20 of my t-blocks for month #3. I am happy to say I am all caught up now. I also finished sewing my 3rd block for Swoon AND I started my SPOOLS quilt  but I do not want to post a picture till I have it done ;-)

Now I need to finish the sashing on my July Calendar girl !  It feels so good to be all caught up :-D

  4. It feels great when you have caught up with things, I'm feeling the same as I've just finished a few blocks too.

    I really like the look of your Swoon project, lovely blocks, I have the pattern but haven't decided on fabrics yet.

  5. I love dried hydrangeas. I see water...do you have a tried and true method? I just cut and hung them upside down. All your blocks are beautiful...you had a productive Sunday.

  6. Gorgeous hydrangeas, Sue! Wish my tomatoes were that ripe, but not just yet! Your Swoon blocks are gorgeous! I ordered the pattern but didn't realize how ginormous they are! Got to figure out how to make mine smaller!
    Cheers!
