Starting Tuesday, August 4th at 8 AM (note time change from previous QALs), the first block for this nautical themed Quilt-a-Long will be revealed.
That’s right. Tu-Na Quilts, Travels, and Eats can also be found on Facebook. Come on over and check out my page. You are welcome to follow me to get sneak peeks of what I’ve been up to or updates of blog posts.
Three years ago, I took a class and painted a barn quilt.
My mom, two sisters, and niece also painted barn quilts in that class.
We spent a wonderful weekend in Kalamazoo with our son, daughter-in-law, and three very busy and smart grandchildren.
Sleeping-in felt so good. We leisurely ate breakfast at the Hampton Inn in Rochester and then Tu-Na Helper prepared for his virtual conference. I sewed on my hexis, determined to finish all I had brought along. If I did, I would complete approximately 2/3 of what was needed for the project. It’s been my travel project for over a year now. I was ready to move this to the next step—appliqueing them to the background.
About the time the sun started to rise, that cicada decided he was done partying for the night and quieted down. As his tired little voice gave way to sleep, I heard another sound—the alarm clock. (Remember he was stuck in the air conditioner unit—read about it here if you haven’t already done so).
This was going to be an exciting day. There was a new shop to explore and a region to check out of which meant prizes!
So where’s Tu-Na’s projects. Even she would like to know how she let time get away from her.
One wall hanging done.
Catch the others later when she is back home from traveling and finished writing about her Quilt MN Shop Hop experience. (You can read the 2019 shop hop posts as they unfold here. There was much shopping and hopping and a whole lot of fun.)
