Meet Miss Iris

Block number 10

Only two more blocks to complete and I'll be ready to work on the borders. This is just glue pasted to the back ground so I've got stitching to do and then some embroidery accents here and there.

The border has all kinds of flowers, stems and leaves to applique on too. This was a BOM started in November 2009, I asked the organizer of the BOM if she felt I'd ever get it completed, she (Lynn) assured me I'd get it done.....  I think I just need to focus focus focus! Each block is 16 X 16! My mind just is so full of other things I want to do. And it's hard to shut those thoughts out. At times when I look at other quilters and all the work they put out it just amazes me how fast they work and all they accomplish. 

This is my Grand son Austin, he had been living with us for nine months so he took a lot of my time up but now he is back with his parents. I think I almost made a quilter out of him~

I was cleaning up my sewing room and trying to keep him busy, so I put up a little display board and he was having so much fun arranging and rearranging blocks. Kept him busy for a while but then it was back to his Legos

 Lego's are one of Austins favorite things and he sure can get creative, he will play for hours on end

 When he started first grade they give the children a web site to go to and an ID when they so their work on the computer the teacher can check from time to time to see what their progress is. He is very good with math so I might have a change when he gets older to be a quilter? He's playing a game right here. So it was bribe him to do his home work and then play games.

I hope everybody is having a wonderful Summer Vacation and enjoying what ever your working on.
