I decided to make the Seahawks wave from Keepsake Cottage (Bothell) so I could have a tablerunner for football season. I added some Seahawk m&m's for the photo op too :)
I have been collecting the Summer Block of the Week from Primitive Gatherings. I am behind by 5 weeks now! I am not in the mood for any wool applique right now, but I will eventually do them. This heat that we are getting is not fun, we are pretty spoiled in the Pacific Northwest because it's typically so mild. We normally only get a couple of weeks of hot weather (90+), than it usually does not happen until the end of July and into August when it does hit. This year June was HOT. We decided to buy a portable AC unit just before the heatwave hit, and I am so glad we did. Our house isn't too bad until we have many days in a row of hot... I think records have been broken, we had the hottest 4th of July since 1971 at 92 degrees. We usually say that summer doesn't start until July 5th (because it tends to rain on the 4th), not this year. So until I get my quilt room to cool down, I'm guessing there won't be a lot of machine sewing going on.
Hopefully I'll get another project done before July is up :)
So the kit is actually Seahawks fabric? I am just so not a football fan, but if I had to pick I would vote for the Seahwaks. I like the added feature of the M & M's.
ReplyDeleteIt was in the finishing kit only (though they show it on the facebook page with the seahawk fabric). I had Seahawks fabric already, so I added it to the ends. I have a strip of neon green Seahawks fabric on the back to go with the muslin since the width is more than 44" :)
DeleteThose are the pricey m&m's, I have to put them away and only allow a few out during the games! LOL!
HAHAHA! I collected a few Rows on our road trip yesterday. Frustrated with all the shops that weren't open on a MONDAY. I hate living where there aren't more shops participating. It' makes it hard to compete. I will more than likely do mine later and not try to finish and get it turned in. Richland's row has Toilets on it... I had told them I'd bring my quilt to them this year. Not too sure I want their row in my quilt. Great use of the Seahawk fabric.
ReplyDeleteA single row for a table runner is a good idea. Looks great. Its fun to see rows - and quilts - being finished already. I know we have had lots of folks stopping by the shop to get their rows!
