Hump Day

The heat and humidity continue to be almost suffocating this week.  Temps in the 90's with humidity in the 80's is not a comfortable combination.  I had hoped to get outside and do some sit down weeding today, but I think that may not be the best idea.  July in S.E. Kansas..no surprises.

Tom and I received the cutest siggies from Marij in The Netherlands this week.  Here is mine.

What a cute little sewing mouse!

I also finished two chatelaines this week.  One is for  our guild's swap with our Aussie pen pals.  The other will be donated to the boutique at our guild's quilt show Labor Day weekend. I appliqued one of my signature Sue's on the one going to Australia.

I love this pattern by Connie Sue Haidel of Appleblossom Quilts.  I made one for myself 2 or 3 years ago and I use it every day!  I'd be lost without it when I'm doing hand work.

Using pictures from Connie's site, here is an explanation of all the cool features.

If you do any kind of hand work you'd love one of these and they are a breeze to make.
