I was going to say that you got more done but I'm not sure with 140 quilt tops being made. Amazing. Have fun in the great lakes.

When I see what you can do... I'm incorporating a block similar to that Mendota block in my August hop quilt for Island Batik! Love the water shots, and aww on the little girls learning to sail! And oh yes, we get a double whammy of fireworks since we live on the border, and I am not complaining for one nanosecond!Sandra Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17737049269550479188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6996371959062263667.post-43508646023284642452019-07-08T05:39:10.293-04:002019-07-08T05:39:10.293-04:00That Mendota block looks like a great stash eater ...That Mendota block looks like a great stash eater and it wirked up into some very cheery quilts that are sure to be treasured.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052482883285758098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6996371959062263667.post-19595723501085018482019-07-06T20:44:38.422-04:002019-07-06T20:44:38.422-04:00Wonderful finishes yet again, Louise!

You do such lovely quilting in a small space on a DSM. I usually go the tried and true route of straight lines, but I'm trying to branch out, again. I go through this phase every now and then until I get discouraged again and go back to straight lines.<br /><br />Anyway, your quilts are even more gorgeous against your gorgeous backdrops. You have the BEST quilt photos!Carol E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02741550863747328734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6996371959062263667.post-62185148022182789302019-07-05T11:27:00.364-04:002019-07-05T11:27:00.364-04:00Love seeing all the comfort quilts you make.

Your quilts were of course lovely. But the backgrounds were my favourite. I’m from the Thousand Islands originally and loved seeing some “home” pictures. I grew up on Wolfe Island (Canadian side).
