Vacation Stuff #2

What is with Subaru Outbacks in Oregon?  Every other car is a Subaru Outback or Forester!!!  I guess they are good for backcountry driving and probably good on gas also 

Just seems like they are everywhere!

Vacation Stuff #1

Finished my first vacation read book yesterday

Love this movie so decided to read the book. The movie strayed a little from the book especially the ending. 

However would recommend this as a good read especially if you like English historical fiction

Comfort and Joy -Section 7 done!

Section 7 was so much easier than Section 6 - only one appliqué block and I already had the flying geese made.

I continue to be happy with how this is coming out and can hardly wait for the whole thing to be done.  





Here is the left side of the quilt sewn together




Here are Sections 4, 5 and 6 sewn together

 
 
Only one more section and the inside of the top will be done!

Comfort and Joy -Section 6 Done!

I have stayed up way too late tonight to compete section 6 of the Comfort and Joy quilt. I did not get it done during June and so was determined to get it done as soon as possible in July

I still need to do the embroidery embellishments but plan on doing them on all of the sections later

Now on to starting Section 7 for July!

I am loving how this quilt is coming together!
