Month two :" Sweet Land of Liberty"

month two done, I am learning to write with my sewing machine along with machine applique. Having fun with Lori over at  Humble Quilts.  Happy Sewing, Kim

Sweet Land of Liberty

A new sew along on "Humble Quilts" no pattern just winging it...made my USA blocks too small so just added a strip of fabric to the top and bottom.  My challenge with this quilt will be to do most of it by machine.....even the lettering.   Happy Sewing, Kim

On Ringo Lake

 I put this up on my window and Blook how it matches my sewing studio color :0) ( I didn't pick this color it was in the house when we bought it :0).)

Made this one half size due to lack of melon color.  Happy Sewing and Thanks Bonnie Hunter for another delightful mystery.

Beach Time

Nice quiet day today at the beach, the clouds rolled in while the birds were huddled down against the brisk breeze.  I did see this dead octopus floating along with his eyes open.

I got in a nice walk in found a few special shells and called it a day.

Happy Sewing, Kim

Block two

Block one and two of Pat Sloan's new sew along " Grandma's Kitchen"  I decided to go bright after
doing her last sew along " Solstice" in red and white.

Happy Sewing, Kim

Pat Sloan's  ' Grandma's Kitchen" sew along started this week and will be a once a week release until Nov.
Since I did her Solstice sew along in red and white I think it is time to add some color!

These tracks are 42 inches in wideth, can you see how she has  pushed herself along with her flippers?

We look for these tracks at sunrise, everyday of the week a group of turtle walkers checks for nest all along the North Carolina coastline.

This momma turtle walked all around this dune finding just the spot she wanted, she walk and worked so long that her tracks from the water to the dunes were washed away, only her exit tracks back to the water were visible.

Hopefully in 45 days or so we will gather to watch the baby turtles hatch and run to the sea.

Happy 4th of July!, Kim
