Memorial Day (originally known as Decoration Day) is a federal holiday in the United States for honoring and mourning the military personnel who had died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. It is also a time for cook outs and that's what we will have later today.
I have been working on a 2023 UFO. It is long past time for it to be finished. I finished quite a bit so far on this 8" square (less the tongue at the bottom). I started the outline of the heart. So this is where I will pick up when time allows today. The bottom is overlapped under the 8" square. The entire piece gets backed with a neutral plaid open weave cotton. I didn't put as many hearts inside the big heart because they were just too little for me to handle. Even cutting the tiniest hearts were a challenge. All of this is wool and pearl cotton embroidery thread. Oh goodness what was I thinking when I purchased this kit years ago at Primitive Gatherings =^.^=
This is also a finish LOL! It is the May BOM with Sunshine Quilt Guild. I added the strings on the bikini bottom, but they can easily be removed if the winner doesn't want them. Carolyn who coordinated the BOM provided the white background fabric and we were free to use whatever fabric we desired for the bikini. Fun block to make. Winner will be drawn at the June meeting.
Still working on Moonflower...lots of pressing happening...my least favorite part of quilting.
