L-man and I had a great weekend, how was yours? We pop-up camped on Thursday night and did a kayak run over by Silverthorne on Friday. I was really nervous and scared to do this particular run, but I did it anyway and man did I have a blast.
Saturday was a really productive sewing day, here are a couple of blocks I made for a few bees:



Thank-you all for the ticker tape love! I'm happily enjoying it on my dining table.

Happy, happy Monday to you!

i always love what i see here!
you make me want to try kayaking. my holdback is the fact that i can't swim. next year i have vowed to at least raft down the river--not through the gorge, though. :)

Ticker Tape looks great on the table. Wish I was there to share a coffee with you. Wouldn't that be fun with the table cloth there?

The robot is cute, but it is the other 2 that really hooked me. The hexagon circle is so cool - like thinking totally outside the box. And I really like the fabric in your squares. I was wondering, is the placement intentional, or do you just make a pile and use the next one in line? I have a lot of 2 inch squares - some batiks, some florals - and I love playing with them while I'm bogged down in the quilting or piecing of a big quilt.
