I finished my latest desert door piece, which is 16x20 inches. I just HAD to add sparks of golden-orange because it brings it to life. I decided the coral wall color in the photo wasn't intense enough for me.
Then I did some meditative big stitching with a light aqua-turquoise perle cotton that matches the door. I love blue paired with orange.
While I was trying to decide on adding the orange, I started an envelope quilt like one I made a few years ago.
I'm not excited about doing the precision piecing, but it's fun to choose the colors for each envelope and arrange a little pile for each one ready to feed through the sewing machine. It goes pretty quickly. I'm making 42 envelopes.
And speaking of quilts, look at this sad puppy ...
Yesterday I took an afternoon break to play Mahjong with the girls for a few hours. It was 107 outside so we needed an indoor activity.
And of course there was food! So much so that I didn't have to fix dinner. Afterward some of them took their lawn chairs to listen to an outdoor concert in the shade when it "cooled" off a bit, but I wanted to get back to my projects. I don't consider 90 degrees in the shade comfortable!
Have a colorful day
