Today they are off to Grandma's and I hear the temps will be 'feels like 100'! I guess summer is now officially here in Florida.
I'll pop into the garden quickly before it is unbearable and rake the weeds out from tilling yesterday and plant a few things after adding to the soil.
A quick pick up of the house and then a trip to the Pet store.... should leave me an afternoon of playing with my sewing machine to finish off the quilting on the third and last section of the 2015 RSC Challenge quilt. I really hope to be stitching that last section onto the first two this evening so I can quilt the final border tomorrow and attach the binding tomorrow night! This is the first two sections together. I think this time I will create a sashing for the back and sew it onto one side by machine as I attach the top. I had extra backing last time and just turned under and stitched that down on the first connection... but I think I liked adding with the pre cut and ironed one better. We will see how that one goes! It is a learning process after all!
Linking up with Kathy's Quilts for the Slow Sunday Stitchers this weekend.

Your quilt is just beautiful! I love the stars and alternate blocks in rainbow colors. Sounds like lots of swimming is the ticket for good sleeping this summer!

That's such a terrific quilt. Your summer holidays are much longer than ours here - only five weeks.
I love that quilt. Enjoy your summer. My daughter has 3 more days of school, then school's out here too.
