Country Charmer ~ Taking The Relaxed Path...

While several Country Charmer Quilt-Along Participants have finished their gorgeous quilts, I am still toodling down the lane toward my finish & taking my time to enjoy my little birdies.  I see the wonderful finished projects and think perhaps I should be further along in the process, and then I remember the words of our leaders...this is a fun relaxed quilt-along...no pressure.  Pressure is the last thing I need right now.  I'm in the process of training the new "other half of me" at work and am looking forward to returning to my part time status soon.  Our big California wedding is now, suddenly!, just 3 weeks away and I'm realizing I have several little loose ends to tie up in short order and not a tremendous amount of time at home to do so.
I have the Brides Barn Quilt and 2 others back from the quilter and want to take the Barns to the wedding with me rather than ship it, so it's on the priority list to get bound and labeled before we leave.

Soooo...here we have the current status of Country Charmer.  Thanks Quilt Sue for the input on my sashing vs. borders.   Sometimes we all need a little affirmation that we're still going down the right path.

 

 

 

 

I find myself in a patriotic mood these past few days with July 4th just being a month away now.  

I've been looking at lots of flag designs and digging out my patterns and books that fit the theme,

so besides binding the flag quilt that Maecee is keeping from blowing away below,

I'm hoping to find time to begin another. 

Don't we all have a little Betsy Ross in us?

and Dear Quilt Sue...theres a Union Jack pattern in the stack,

 in honor of you!

 

A reminder to myself this morning before my day becomes all about hustle, bustle and deadlines...

Take the path less traveled, breathe in the fresh air and enjoy the ever changing view...

it's not all about the destination.

 

This is my wish for you too...
