Gives new meaning to 'on the rocks'...

Check these out.....they're hail stones!  We were pummeled by them Tuesday.  I've heard of 'golf ball' sized hail but have never seen it.  I really expected to have a window or two broken but we were pretty lucky.   

Before the hail storm and trauma to my flowers... I was busy whipping up a variety of little projects.  My small project box was over flowing so I picked a couple quick little kits that only took an afternoon each. 

This little patriotic banner came pre-cut.  It doesn't get any easier, does it? 

I even kept it simple and used my pinking shears around the edges instead of binding.  The center button is tied on with thread leaving the tails hanging. 

This little guy captured both my patriotic and summer spirit.  

I was in the mood for summer stitching so I dug through my stash and pulled out this Lizzie Kate Boxer:  Summer. 

So far this is the best fabric I have for finishing.  I thought I had something with bumble bees but I couldn't find it.  

And, just to show I've really been stitching...not just quilting...here is a progress photo on Prairie Schooler's Christmas Village.  I love this one but don't get much stitching time so it's a slow go. 

 I'm focusing on this piece so I hope to finish it this summer. 

Happy Stitching.
