There are the light blue hexagon flowers that are so fun and relaxing to stitch onto their black background. These are the last color - all the others are done and waiting.... 14 to go and the one on the right is a finished one.
Binding..... That graduation quilt of chevron blue and yellow got quilted this week and is waiting for binding to be hand stitched to the back... might be a wee bit hot so this one might wait for later tonight.
Linking up with the slow Stitchers over at Kathy's Quilts.
The reason it is time to sit back and relax? The office area (10x10) got painted a nice summer yellow this afternoon. I have a few blue quilts to hang and some paintings I did at 'Painting with a Twist' hanging in my office and they will look great against this sunny yellow. Mom - reminds me of my yellow spare room in my Colchester house =).
We also picked up my new flooring (honey oak look) and a few painting supplies late morning. I plan to do the sewing area and all that open room that is really a finished 2 car garage (20x20) under AC but I have tons of stuff in there and it was easiest to start with the office paint. Coat 1 is on. Coat 2 will be applied later tonight. I'll have to uncover my desk for working this week but.... that carpet will get pulled up and the flooring will be laid down probably next weekend. I am so excited! Then.. I'll move onto the rest of the room for painting then flooring in there. The painting might happen sooner... with help from the kiddo's some afternoon this week.

sounds like you have a lot of work planned for yourself - but will be worth it in the end
This doesn't sound like slowing down! Your office is going to be bright and cheery. ~Jeanne
That's going to be a happy room to work in! I think a fresh coat of paint is the best thing to spruce up a room. It sounds like the new flooring will be pretty, too! Enjoy your stitching! It's in the 90s here, and I'm sewing binding, too - definitely a bit hot tor that job. :)
Lovely bright and sunny color to start a room makeover. Hope it all turns out just as you hoped. Happy Slow Stitching.
Love your hexies! Your new paint is cheerful!
I see alot of 'yellow' in this post--
the flower centers are yellow--there is yellow in the quilt to be finished and then the yellow in the walls--I think you like yellow--a great sunny cheerful color!!
luv, di
Like the flowers! Fun to clean out and spruce up the house!
Plenty of sunshine yellow and primrose hued blooms to make you smile.
