What a June this is turning out to be! I'll start first with my sewing excitement. Then, if you don't care about anything else, you can move on. But know this: you'll be missing out on lots of good things!
Earlier in the week I made my Dark Blue String-X block for RSC2019. It turned out pretty good.
I was wondering how it would look with his friends. Here are the first 6 blocks. Loving it!!
A quick little reminder that less than a week ago I got this Viewers' Choice Blue Ribbon on Mosaics. Although I shared this with you earlier, it was still excitement within this past week.
I will admit that I didn't get quite all the quilting done on it that I wanted. When I get that finished off, I'll get my label put on the back too. Still it was Blue Ribbon-worthy!
That's the end of the quilty happenings here but there is more happiness I'd like to share. A wonderful thing happened this past week -- our St. Louis Blues Hockey Team finally brought home the Stanley Cup. We are a Sports Town here in the St. Louis Metro-Area. We support our Blues and our Cardinals unconditionally and we are SUPER PROUD when they win, whether it be a game, a series, a division title, or go all the way with the Stanley Cup (hockey) or the World Series Pennant (baseball).
But wait! There's more I would love to share with you. Let me introduce my first grandbaby: Brody Charles arrived June 5 at 9:37pm, weighing in at 8lbs 11oz and measuring 21-1/2" long. I imagine you may be seeing more of him in the future!
