HOT HOT HOT!

Formerly ( before the change), I did not really have a problem with heat. Although I do recall the summer my daughter was born in '88 where I required my husband to buy a window air conditioner.  Going night and day in the heat with 2 kids was very tiring. ( The heat index was above 100)  I know that most of you have had the same.

But back to now, I just don't react well with the air conditioning. I put on socks and cover with a quilt.  My legs will ache. 

I don't know if it is me absorbing the stress from the radiation treatments for my husband Thursday and Friday, or what. We had our son over for grilling and homemade mac and cheese Saturday. He leaves for Louisiana on August 1 to be with the family. My life as it is. 

Anyway, I have started another new quilt for my grandson:

I have abandoned the quilt I started for him a couple years ago. Instead, I am making this design to coordinate somewhat with the one I made for his brother. I think they may be bunking in the same room. I will make the blocks into wall hangings.  I just couldn't get a vision into putting it together and wasn't thinking the theme was for him anymore. Here are most of the blocks I appliqued and designed using online photos.

And as the fabrics were from a kit I had purchased, I feel good using up stash.  Well, I did buy the light blue and then needed 3 more half yards of new solids. 

So pushing forward.

I also need to finish a baby quilt for August 3 and a small wool applique for tomorrow.  More to come.
