Above is the darling tote and presents I received from Laurie Grant, in the "Summer Tote Swap". I love the"quilt" fabric. Laurie did a very nice job on picking the fabric and making the tote. I love the "goodies" she sent along. I will be going on a trip soon, and will take the tote and stitchery with me. Thank you again Laurie, I love it!!
Last evening at our "Scrap Club" we were all to bring one block string pieced for a drawing. I could not believe it when they drew my number!! As soon as I got home I sewed them together, and made 16 more. Sandy said I needed to bring a completed quilt by next month. Oh, do I love a challenge! We have been seeing quilts, and pictures of string quilts set in different ways. What a great way to use stash. Sandy asked if we could see any dent in the fabric we are using for our scrap quilts. I know I have been using my stash, but I think I have replaced it with new fabric. We have gotten so many ideas for scrap quilts. I want to make them all. We are also doing a 9 patch exchange, I need to get busy on that.
Now for my siggie update. The above 2 are from Virginia, in Washington and Kris in Utah.
Rose Marie of Canada, Betty of West Virginia, and Cora of Ohio.
Monique of Canada, Nell of Virginia,Saka of Washington, and Frieda of Texas
Beth of Georgia, Carol of Florida, and Renat of Germany sent 2. I am loving receiving these wonderful siggies. If any of you that do read my blog would like to exchange, please let me know. This is so much fun. Another quilt in the making!!I have 225 Klosjes made and counting. I figure I need at least 312 for a lap quilt. I have started to sew some of them together in sets of 2 and 4. Since I am using a variety of backgrounds, I don't want the same one showing up all in one place. I have enjoyed this process so much.
I will be going on a cruise with my Dad in September. Dad signed up for this cruise back in December before his stroke in January. He is doing so well, and wants to continue his adventures. He and I will be gone for 30 days. We are sailing to the Hawaiian Islands then on to the Society Islands. I have been gathering several projects to take with me to work on. The Klosjes are going with me, who knows maybe I will have a quilt top done by the time I return
Happy Quilting.

I do hope you have a good time on your cruise. Trish
Oh wow, you are going to have such fun crusing the Hawaiian island.
Love your tote....your scrap quilt is going to look wonderful (great win)
These are all really really cute.
A challenge amongst friends is a good way to finally make a quilt. I know that a string quilt is something that I've been meaning to do and one of these days ...
Your siggies are starting to roll in now!
