The last few mornings I have been having my coffee outside, before it gets too hot. We are staying at Squaw Creek County Park in Marion, IA. It is a lovely place with prairie meadows just bursting with flowers. I promise I will get some pictures soon. We are staying at a full hookup site for the princely price of $30. For this we have a HUGE back in site (most are pull through) with a large concrete patio, fire pit, and picnic table. It is a bit lacking in shade because the trees were planted only 10-12 years ago, but the electricity works fine to keep the AC running.
Kevin took off today to get his new electric bike delivered and put together, so I decided to get some piecing done. I finished the last row of blocks on one quilt top, put the rows together, and put two borders on. The second quilt I made rows, put the rows together, and added the two borders. The quilts will go to Quilts for Kids, and I will quilt and bind them when I get home. Note I did NOT pick the fabrics; they came in a kit from QFK.
I know I am going to quilt the crazy pink and turquoise one with meandering flowers. I haven’t decided on what to do for the more normal one. Oh, and I know the stitch length is all over the map. I had issues getting the stitch length where I wanted it on my Featherweight machine. I prefer a nice short stitch when piecing. Now I have to decide what other project to work on when I get bored.
