Pink is Coming to an End

We are almost to the end of July which means we're closing in on the end of "PINK". Tuesday will be the last pink Tiny Tuesday block and Thursday we'll get a new color to work on. I'm actually surprised by how much fun I had working with pink. It's not really a color that I work with much. So let's move forward!

In my previous TT post I mentioned that I wasn't all that happy with my piggy block but I'd keep it. After seeing everyone else's blocks, I decided that my pig just had to go! The background fabric I used (which was very pretty) was much too much too busy and so I decided to remake it. I managed to find a bit of my main pig color fabric but I had to change the snout & ears fabric due to not enough left in the scrap bin for a repeat. So here they are, both the good and the bad.

1st Try = FAIL

2nd Try = Keeper

So that was the new & improved piggy from last week. Here's the Wonky Star from this week. I like it!

I also finished the Pink String-X block for this month.

Yesterday I allowed (haha!) my husband to accompany me on the St. Louis Summer's Last Blast Yarn Crawl. Kind of like a shop hop for quilters, only it's yarn shops for knitters/crocheters/weavers. So sad that once upon a time we had eight or more shops and this year there was only four! Of the four, one was a new shop and looks to be a very nice shop. Yup, bought more yarn so, not only will there be more quilting in my future, but there will also be more knitting for me!

A pretty picture from my flower garden this morning ...

and of course a picture of Big Boy Brody with his Daddy.

Good picture of my son

Better picture of Brody!

Have a great weekend!
