August Finishes

Hello!  Did you melt in what the media is saying was the hottest July on record?  It seems a tiny bit cooler now that the calendar has turned to August, but it is definitely more humid where I am. Rain showers are threatening every day.

I have a few finishes to announce.

* Farmers Daughter Stars is finally finished!

* The August block for Out of This World, Pat Sloan's BOM program is done. It was a simple block and came together beautifully.

* The last set of rainbow blocks are sewn for my two RSC projects. Angela chose light blue for August, but I needed purple along with a couple light blues, so I am doing both this month. Now I can focus on assembling blocks and finishing these two little quilts.

My plan for August:
1. Finish 18 "Formal Affair" blocks and begin assembly. This was a 'squirrel' started last month.
2. Add borders to Arcadian Chain and figure out quilting plan. FMQ will begin in September.
3. Sandwich the Highland Fling wall hanging, quilt and bind it.
4. Make a few more blocks for Double Delight and Lady of the Lake projects.
5. Sandwich one of my three samplers and prep for more detailed FMQ. These will take a while.
6. Continue assembly of Tri Love Triangles.
7. Confirm count of units needed to finish En Provence and make 'em.
8. RESIST jumping into another 'squirrel' project!!!
