This past weekend...

This is how we spent our weekend!

The walls & roof were finished.
Hubby & his friends have a BBQ competition next weekend.
So..., Building progress is going to be on hold next weekend.
But this will give me some sewing time.

 Note: David is "kicked back" & reading his book.

John did some drawing. He is doing a drawing for one of my coworkers from a photo she liked.
 Will post more on this later. 


I saw these beautiful strawberries and couldn't pass them up.
 This is what I did with them.
  
I started cutting fabric to make a dresden plate quilt.
I am wanting to make something bright and cheerful.

This is the fabric plan to use for background. 
This is what I have in mind.
Of course, this is subject to change.
I'm still not sure about the center fabric for the Dresden plate.

This is one of my WIPs.
This is one of those projects that I didn't buy enough fabric to complete. I need to add a border and I need to find fabric for the backing. I purchased the fabric at JoAnns, so I'm hoping they will get more in stock.

This is another WIP.
I purchased this kit a few years back at the Houston International Quilt Show.
The vendor was "The Hen House" I have learned to check their booth early when I arrive as their kits sometimes sell out quickly. Every year they have something I have to have.
