I've been catching up on a few projects and planting seeds for a new one. Yes, the seeds have already begun to sprout on the
Hexie Garden quilt, you can see two blocks up on the design wall; in the foreground are more tumblers. There will be two tumbler charm quilts in my future; the first flimsy was completed last week, I'm on a roll! I've decided that we need to keep a quilt in each car, just in case of an emergency.
AAA suggests that a
blanket (quilt) is vitally important not only for keeping warm but also for the park, ballfield, impromptu picnics etc. With all the piecing that's going on around here I've declared the summer of 2015 to be the summer of car quilts... is your automobile quiltless?

Here's a bit more piecing... I'm cranking as fast as I can to catch up with the Summer Sampler Sew Along at Temecula Quilt Co. I've finished all the blocks through week #4 and at this rate should be caught up, and have car quilt #2 ready for quilting in no time at all! How are keeping cool this summer?
Sew on...
Life is Good!

Wow! You have been busy. Such an inspiration. I've got more work to do. :D
You certainly are achieving lots of sewing. Love the angle of your photograph, very creative. And "down under" I am trying to stay warm in this very cold winter we are having.
Your projects are always well thought out and well made. Loving your black/white take on the SAL.
My car has had two quilts in it since 1996! They have been used on an accident victim to help stave off shock, bench padding for basketball games, warmth at football games, and both at track meets--depending upon the weather. We have used them as picnic tablecloths when we didn't know we were going to be stopping for a picnic, naps under a tree at a park, naps in the car (but not for the driver), and as makeshift coats when jackets weren't warm enough while sightseeing on vacations. We have cuddles babies in them when new moms weren't prepared for the weather, and they have come in handy for added warmth on camp outs. I don't know how I ever got along without one--or two.
I should consider following your lead and making them for the cars of each of my children.
