It's been nearly 2 weeks since I took the last stitch in panel #12 of my Susan McCord Trailing Vines quilt. May and June are such busy months! I took the nearly finished top outside today for some pictures.
Out by the garden - not too much blooming yet.
I like it with a little sunshine dancing across it.
I've started on panel #13 - the last panel. Hopefully by the end of the summer this will be a finished top!
We went camping on the weekend. Our annual June trip to Shunda lake. I sat and sewed in my favorite spot. It was beautiful weather for some outdoor sewing by a mountain lake :0) I worked on a side border for my Bird of Paradise quilt.
My 2 older daughters and I hiked around the lake again this year. We were rewarded with these beauties on the very far side of the lake. These wild orchids are so exquisite :0)
Happy quilting!!
