Quilting Quiet

Have you missed me?  I've missed you.  I'm still around, clearly.  The school year is coming to a close here, and I really need to use the last of the peace and quiet to get the Lone Star Glows done.  I'm halfway done with arc #7 of the 8 blocks that I need, so steady progress is getting me there.

I've found leaving in the paper piecing paper, ruined my accuracy when sewing the two completer curves to the arcs, so I have already removed the paper from blocks 5 & 6 in preparation of sewing the last two seams for those blocks.  Why stop in the middle of block 7 you ask?  Well I just ran out of my pre-cut strips, so that is a job for tomorrow or maybe for Friday...

Have you been having nice weather?  We have a storm sitting on top of us and the forecast says it should rain daily through Tuesday.  At least the grass will be happy right?

Aren't you under drought conditions - I would think any rain would be welcomed.

You are absolutely putting me to shame here. I have not done anything to my Lone Star this month yet, but I was at least thinking about it last night. I have seen a method of making HST's that I think can be adapted to help me piece my setting squares, and I am going to try that tomorrow and see if it works.

The rainy season is definitely here, at least ten minutes of rain everyday. I know you must be looking forward to having you're daughter home, I always loved summer.
