A little sewing and cutting

Yesterday there wasn't a ton of sewing. Instead there was a lot of vacation planning. You may remember that we went to Tucson this past winter and we enjoyed it so much that we immediately made plans to go back in 2025. All was great until late May. In the middle of Chris' medical crisis at the beach I got notice that our Tucson reservation had been canceled because the condo was sold. Finding places to stay is a little difficult for me because I always have to ask about fragrance used in washing the linens. I can't stay in places where they use detergents like Tide and Gain. Those fragrances are permanent and I'm highly allergic to them. So I've spent hours on various websites trying to find a condo to rent in one specific neighborhood. Finally, yesterday, I found it! Unless I also plan a girls beach trip in the fall, I'm all done with vacation planning until 2026.

After all the computer work I was in need of some sewing time and I made 4 more blocks for the batik string quilt. These blocks are so much fun to sew. For those who are interested, here's the tutorial that I wrote for my quilt club.

I also got the farm quilt back out and started cutting out the chickens.

Last night we had quilt club and I brought home 11 more finished veterans quilts ready for delivery, and 11 more quilt tops ready for quilting! 

Today I may try to load 2 of my veterans quilts for quilting, sew a few more string blocks and cut out the rest of the pieces for the chicken blocks.
