I am getting some things accomplished during my quiet time.  =)

The Granny Squares blocks I made a while ago got put together into a flimsy. I used sweet Trish's (Notes of Sincerity) tutorial. 

It was bigger than I expected, so I made a small baby blanket with some of the squares. I started quilting it, didn't like it and took it apart. Yup, that's how I roll...

I received a gift of 30's fabric by a friend who has asked to remain anonymous. I have some plans for them whirling around in my brain....

 I've been working on my Betsy's Closet stitchings. I am less than happy with how this block looks. Jenny of Elefantz shared some tips. 

The tips added to this lamp and magnifying glass

has greatly improved the quality of my stitching. Amazing what you can do when you can see! 

I may or may not redo the other block. I'll make that decision after all the blocks are finished. 

Have a great day, friends...I am thankful for all of you. 

Really.

A new sheep. I love her sweet face. 

The start of my Granny's. 

 We are having another heat wave here in Iowa. I am not complaining. I love summer and the heat. =)

I must finish Brooklyn's dress this week and seriously get a quilt binding on a quilt that has been staring at me for weeks. I keep finding excuses to avoid it. 

What are on your plans for the week?

And the beginning of Granny Squares using the tutorial by Trish.

No, I did not line up my fabric just for a photo op. 

This is me. 

Hello, my name is Amy and I am anal...

About some things. =) 

Dusting? Not so much...
