When I look back over the blog content for the last year and a half, it really makes me sad. My little hiatus cost me the published 'memories' of what I'd done, both in and out of the quilty world. Normally, I'd have shared the fan BOM that my guild was doing . . . the fan is our logo . . . a different fan block each month (for a total of nine), getting more technically difficult to piece as the year went along. It started easy, with this little fan . . .
And ended with a Cleopatra's Fan, that I opted out of (because I was in a sling).
Actually, I opted out of all but one of the last five, because of a busy schedule and shoulders that were giving me more and more pain. But we only needed to have five assembled in a flimsy (and I stress, assembled), in order to share our fans at the final meeting of the guild year (which is in August) and be eligible for a prize!
Today, with sling gone and at least one shoulder feeling peppy-er (more peppy?), I spent some time and assembled . . .
I'm really pleased with this ... it's a fun "memory quilt" from our guild year. The black corners (and the binding will be in black) give it the appearance of floating. Anyway, it was nice to be sitting at the machine today.
I also realized I hadn't posted (because I hadn't posted) a single of my little Attic Heirloom OOMs! I splurged this year and signed up for the automatic kits.
I was really good in January and February and got them stitched right up. The kits have sort of backed up ever since . . .
LOL! Ah well. August's is really cute and I think I'll work on that one for some slow stitching time.
We had a GREAT family reunion ... lots of sweet family all under one pavilion roof!
Plus, spending time with *all* my grands was the best! Gosh, they were so sweet and Sawyer, Ellie and June loved reacquainting ... and Evey and Olivia were the best of friends. Too cute!

Okay, that's it for now. Linking my slow Sunday stitching with Kathy's Quilts. Enjoy the remainder of your weekend!!
