Catching Up With Summer





Here's my small project for June--"Wool Pennies and Scallops"--it measures 8"x10" and is my interpretation of the traditional wool penny mats [patterns and kits are for sale at Shaffer's Countryside Quilting (http://www.shafferscountrysidequilting.com/) or by emailing me].







Where has the summer gone? I did have Wool Pennies and Scallops done and ready for sale before the end of June. As for my July project . . . well, it is still a work in progress:








I think I need to add something on the left side--a hummingbird? Bumblebee? I am waiting for inspiration!





During July I also made a wool picture:






The background is coffee-stained pages from an old book, and the flowers, leaves, vase are wool. "Wool picture" sounds so boring and not very descriptive. What do you think I should call these?


Now it's time to make the small project for August, which I haven't even started yet! Where does the time go?
