The quest took a vacation of sorts!

Well, my quest to quilt ran into a bit of detour due to a busy schedule of vacations, working on our mountain house and getting our boat out of dry dock and launched.  That doesn't leave much free time but I did manage to get some quilts finished and delivered and just recently, was able to get two more blocks from the Sunday Scrap Basket completed.  It's amazing what you can get done when the hubs goes fishing! 

These quilts were made for a dear friend's grandson and granddaughter.    They were beautifully machine quilted by Karen Thompson.  So, once I finished the bindings, they were delivered.  I like it when I can check things off my quilts-to-do list!  Check, and check!

I did some back art on the backing to make the best use of the fabric.
 
You can see the sweet quilting in this photo. 
And here are the two blocks I made for the Sunday Scrap Basket project.  I planned to make four blocks and was lucky enough to get these two squeezed out when the Hubs decided to leave from the cabin a day early due to the pending rain from TS Andrea.  Although I can quilt in any storm, he cannot fish.  Fishing trumps quilting (his rules, not mine) so I got trumped and had to pack up.  It was a wise move given the local road flooding, but don't tell him I said that!  These are blocks 5 and 6.  The Hubs is planning to work on the boat this friday so if the weather holds, I should be able to get a few more blocks completed. 

Kirby is guarding the two blocks I was able to get done so no one would walk on them.  As if!
More to come so, I feel a productive week coming on!
