A Little of This, A Little of That

Hillbilly Hand Fishing? Really? Have you seen these guys catching gigantic cat fish with their bare hands? I guess I shouldn't be surprised, since growing up we spent a week each summer in the Florida Keys hunting lobster by hand. We didn't catch and release either. We ate those suckers. Some years we caught so many we got sick of eating lobster, if that's even possible.

I'm totally making my young adult children read this.

How about those summer tomatoes? I'm in produce heaven. I bought these at our local farmer's market. They were so red and juicy.  Can you guess what I'm going to have for lunch?

Yep, a BLT! Oh it was so good. I want another.

Kathryn, one of my guild buddies gave me some small batik squares in pretty jewel tone colors. I put them all together and then framed them with a batik from my stash.

I made a pieced backing with even more batiks.

Now don't faint, but I made the binding for the quilt too. Very uncharacteristic for me. I usually just put a hunk of fabric with the quilt top and call it a day. Now to get that flimsy quilted.

I used the leftover bacon to make a bacon and blue cheese bread. I gotta get off that blue cheese wagon. I can't quit it.

Our guild is submitting blocks to the QuiltCon Block Challenge. Here's my rushed entry. All of the blocks submitted were really cool. The Orlando Modern Quilt Guild has so many talented quilters. It's so much fun to see what everyone creates.

Broke out the watercolors yesterday to make a sunflower ATC. I left everything out, so I may get to paint a little more today.
