Summer Sewing

New shoes - and they are GREAT!!

Remember this?   Made 3 years ago.  Hangs in the foyer during the summer.  Just had to share again.

Single block made for a bicycling friend.

 Ongoing applique project - will have many more adds  and borders.

In May, I took paper piecing class from Karen Kay Buckley (an EXCELLENT  teacher) at Sauder Village quilt fair.   The center 16 blocks are finally sewn - lots of paper to be removed.    I will be combining them with my block exchange blocks from this year.

August 19 is the Leading Ladies Marathon and 1/2 in Spearfish, South Dakota.   I am going to do this with 3 runner friends.   We are staying in KOA cabins and bringing our own bedding.   I made each of us a pillowcase.  

I made myself a large tote bag with lots of interior pockets.   The block is called South Dakota - with runners, rocks, water, evergreens, blue skies and the road we will be running on.    I will be walking the 1/2 marathon.    Looking forward to this adventure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
