September 1st ~ Labor Day

And 10 years ago today it really was a labor day for my sweet daughter-in-love when she gave birth to my grandson Zach. 

Since it is the first day of September, and to keep the trend going, will show pictures of a quilt applique that I made the year this house was being built.  I think this is quite an appropriate design for September with the 'empty nest' since the kids leave to go back to school or college.  It is a series of monthly designs by Jan Patek of Indygo Junction.

And before getting into rug hooking also did this stitchery by I Done My Best.  Oops, I see a red thread trailing the T in September and is distorting the words "Today is Sunny".  Guess I need another cup of coffee to wake me up.

 

I think the September Angel is cute.  And as you can see neither of these stitchery pieces have been finished or made into a quilt and frankly doubt they ever will be ~ by me anyway.

 

Enjoy your holiday weekend and hope it is a long one for you working folks.

August Already?

Goodness time is ticking away and am sure teachers are wondering what happened to their brief summer break as schools here start August 26th.  I'm pretty sure that when I was a kid (back in the dark ages) we didn't start school until after September 1st.  Yeah, it's only a week later, but hey, that's another week of vacation to a kid and teacher.  Although I'm sure school can't come fast enough for parents.

So it is time for me to pull out my quilt square applique' and stitchery for August.  The sunflower design would be nice in a hooked hot pad or chair pad.  It is a design by Indygo Junction.

The stitchery was a design by Done My Best.  And these were done way before I became interested in hooking, otherwise I'd have had a hook in my hand instead of needle and thread.

Enjoy your Thursday and please be kind to one another.
