For the free Block of the Month pattern, please visit Jacquelynne's website for sign up information.
This month, I decided to go along with the color scheme of the pattern as it was written. I am so very pleased that I made that choice. I love the calm colors with the pop of red! I used Katie Jump Rope by Denyse Schmidt for the colors. The sweet grey dots are Zen Chic Modern Backgrounds for Moda
I continued with the thread painting as with Block One and Block Two. These are the Aurifil 50 wt colors that I used for this block. The 50wt is really very nice when thread painting. You can go over areas many times and it remains very flat and also does not clog up the machine or break. Pretty amazing!

ReplyDeleteCan't wait to get started on the 3rd block! My favorite summer memory is taking my two little boys to the beach-they screamed at first, then wiggled their toes in the wet sand & built a sand castle. They were not ready to go home, finally with a promise to come back, they agreed. Happy memory for ever!

ReplyDeleteI loved spending days at my grandparent's Summer bungalow. There was a main house, and the bungalow, and lots of property in between. All my cousins would come, and we'd play flashlight tag, and have BBQs, and go to the beach, and the lake and canoe, and ride bikes, and just have fun. I also loved camping with my family, and exploring the US. Great block!
ReplyDeleteI loved visiting Salt Lake City and Yellowstone National Park 2 years ago. I need to plan a trip like that again!

ReplyDeleteMy favorite summer memory was when we took our Missionette Girls group on a camp out and for the first time they helped me reach a goal to walk up to the falls where we were staying at Nambe Falls, New Mexico.

ReplyDeleteVisiting Grandpa and Grandma in Kansas. Grandpa made a huge tent in the backyard using ladders and taros. He even put overstuffed furniture out there for us kids--my sisters, cousins and me. We made hand cranked ice cream and ate big slices of ice cold watermelon and spit the seeds.

ReplyDeleteMy favorite summer memories are Bible camp. Growing up in the suburbs of Chicago, it was so much fun to go to Wisconsin and go to summer camp. All of the outer door activities, the lake, the camp fires and the Bible lessons were fantastic and I loved every minute of it.
ReplyDeleteHmmm...I have lots of great summer memories, having grown up by the beach. But some of my earliest are from when we were very little and could see the Disneyland fireworks from our front lawn. All the moms on our block had the same rule: once the fireworks were over, it was time to come in and go to bed. That practically guaranteed sweet dreams.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite summer memory was when all 4 of my children can home at the same time. My kids are spread out in all four corners of the US so it very unusual for everyone to get together at the same time. Family time is to be cherished.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite summer memories are of bicycling. Riding along quite country roads with no timetable, enjoying the fresh air and wildlife.

ReplyDeleteOh, it was a summer vacation with my family camping in Jackson Hole, WY. We took a month traveling there and back visiting the Grand Canyon, Bryce, and Zion canyons on the way. I remember one night watching shooting stars streak across the sky.
ReplyDeleteOne of my most favorite memories of summer was a family visit to Mt. Rushmore as a kid. I was in awe. Now that I am an adult, I would love to go back for a visit. Take my husband. He has never been. I tell him pictures don't do it justice. You must be standing on the patio looking up at it to feel what a beautiful monument this artist has built! It's an awesome feeling!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite summer memory is visiting our rustic (only the fireplace and a woodstove in the kitchen for heat), beach cabin in Gearhart, Oregon when I was growing up. So many great times!

ReplyDeleteI always loved staying at my Grandparents for the week when I was young. There was a little girl about my age who lived beside them and we did all the childhood fun things like making mud pies. My Grandparents lived in the country. We would also collect lightening bugs and she would give me one of her Anacin bottles to put them in. I also remember catching tiny frogs in the field by her house, and putting them in coke bottles.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite summer memory is the family trip from Michigan to Minnesota to my grandparents' small farm. We could explore, visit the barn and animals, went fishing and swimming in the small lake and had picnics with all the relatives who came.
ReplyDeleteLiving in WV, I spent many a summer day at and in a river in the woods. Such cold water on what we considered a hot day at 85 degrees. Good times!

ReplyDeleteGoing to visit my grandma!
ReplyDeleteMy fav summer memory was goin to visit and stay with my mamaw and papaw at there house. Miss them so much. Miss the good ole days.
ReplyDeleteSeeing my grandchildren suddenly get confidence and blossom in an area. My 5 yr old has been clinging to the side of the pool in the past months, but she started clinging to the sides of the 6 ft area. Then I sent her to a week of camp in our neighborhood with other children. I went to pick her up the second day and she was standing on the end of the diving board, over the 10 foot water, and she jumped in, then swam to the ladder. My mouth dropped and didn't close. She did it again, and again. I texted her parents.....You won't believe what Elizabeth just did!! I was so proud of her. Lifeguards were nearby, yes. It's like she held this secret and then she let it out.
ReplyDeleteFavorite memory of when I was little and going each summer on the family vacation. My father had fun planning it all cold winter.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite summer memories are of traveling (moving, actually) cross country last year with my two grown children and our two animals.... We had a great time!
