Finally today I got back to on getting some piecing done. I got my July blocks for the Star Crazy BOM squared up and pressed and I am now working on my August blocks. Two down and 7 more to go. I will try to do a photo tomorrow. Might be Saturday or Sunday – I would like to get them all finished and then do a photo of the two months together.
Good news on my little hydrangea’s – all 6 or is it 7 plants – have little new leaf buds growing – all of the dead stuff has fallen off. I’m really surprised to see new leaf buds already – I have watered the plants almost every day since we got home – maybe we got home soon enough to save them? I’ll take a photo of them tomorrow also.
This morning though was a bad start to sewing. I felt like I had forgotten how to sew at the sewing machine. Do you ever feel like that after you are away from your machine for awhile? Nothing was going right. I started and about 20 minutes later I tossed everything down and said to heck with it I will try later. I have finally finished two stars this evening and maybe tomorrow will go better – hope so!
Thanks for all the advice on EQ7 – yes I am getting it although I most likely will wait until it is a little closer to my birthday before I order it so it will be for my birthday 
And yes I will use my discount from American Quilters Society. It is the lowest price I have found.

I use my sewing machine so seldom I have to look at the instructions to refresh my memory on which what the thread goes through the eye LOL.

Karen, I think I get that can’t sew feeling often this past summer. Maybe that’s why I’ve not been quilting….although the weather, the visitors certainly don’t help.
One more weekend of visits and then summer has ended. I’m looking forward to quiet time as the children return to school and I can be quietly sewing for a bit longer at the cottage.

My sewing machines would probably thank me if I ever gave them a rest, LOL.
Glad to hear the hydrangeas are coming back!

I bought EQ6 about 4 years ago, and I´ve used it almost every time I do some quilt. It´s not that I use all those fancy features, because I like traditional quilts. But I can draw a quilt I see myself, I can take a block and make it bigger or smaller, I do a lot of paperpiecing and can print out the foundation, and I can draw a block myself.I can also print templates and so on. I know how a quilt will look and I don´t need to pin my blocks to a wall. I bought the upgrade in july, EQ7, and in my opinion it is very userfriendly. Also..if you are intersted in something, it is easier to learn, and the learning process is fun. Good luck, and happy birthday!
