Finished Dr. Seuss
I forgot to show you, here's the Dr. Seuss quilt finished. Simple loop quilting across, minkee backing and no batting. I'm sorry the pictures are sub-par, the quilt is actually quite bright.

C&V Embroidery Blocks
I've completed the first two embroidery blocks from the Clover and Violet SAL.
I tweaked the designs slightly for my oh so rusty skills. Regardless, I'm pleased with the less than perfect results and don't care for the bit of error.

Now, for what else I'm up to, I've made these beauties for some embroidery work. I have to catch up in this Little Birdie Stitch Along.
I'm about to cut up these for the Clover & Violet Stitch Along (althought admittedly, these stitching projects are more for when I'm in the car travelling or just want the occasional handiwork.)
What are you up to this fabulous July?
