I signed up again. I will catch up on your August posts later tonight or tomorrow. Our heat wave has been broken. We received 1 1/2” of rain last night and more is expected.

Sometimes it does take me a while to decide what to wear, but I have decluttered my closet and took out everything that doesn't fit and things I don't like as much, and that makes things much easier. Usually I just grab the first thing that catches my eye and it is good because only the good stuff is in the closet.Shelina (formerly known as Shasta)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03290945204269323129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2992849643268817750.post-83894154310559251982022-08-05T14:18:01.309-07:002022-08-05T14:18:01.309-07:00Love your Basket Case!Love your Basket Case!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10020294112107230403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2992849643268817750.post-30679587858999668482022-08-04T16:09:00.254-07:002022-08-04T16:09:00.254-07:00Hello Jocelyn...I made it!

I have limited choices so technically that should make it easier. I pretty much live in dresses (sometimes skirts) in the summer and I know my selection has to be pretty boring for those who see me regularly. Covid has meant I'm not seeing anybody so I have 3 summer dresses I alternate and when the cooler weather hits I move to t-shirts and flannelette sleep pants. Comfie, but certainly not fashionable!<br />Looking forward to seeing the results of your thrifting expedition. How I miss those!<br />Your baskets quilt turned out beautifully! Now I'm looking forward to seeing the redwork birds take shape. Reading what you said about being talked into fabric at the shop reminded me that at one point our guild was doing a workshop on making a celtic knot quilt. I wanted one so hared off to the shop to get fabrics. Of course I felt I didn't have any colour sense and ended up being talked into something I absolutely ended up hating. That partially done 'experiment' went in a yard sale years later.<br />Magpie's Mumblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09852241848575954128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2992849643268817750.post-40095775798139792572022-08-03T07:15:24.894-07:002022-08-03T07:15:24.894-07:00Your baskets are awesome!Your baskets are awesome!PaintedThreadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07430500003121265452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2992849643268817750.post-73133003656103867792022-08-03T06:44:43.323-07:002022-08-03T06:44:43.323-07:00Each day I pick out a decent (clean) t-shirt to we...Each day I pick out a decent (clean) t-shirt to wear into my "business" (my sewing room). Then later I change into a more comfortable shirt to eat my dinner and drop food onto - bahahah! Basket Case is so, so pretty! I love the basket fabric. I know what you mean about not having the voice to make wishes known - I was the same in the beginning of my quilting. Fortunately I liked the choices made for me and still have bits and pieces of those original fabrics and wish I had more. Looking forward to seeing more of your redworked birds!<br />Thank you for sharing with us at To Do Tuesday!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17786068334983762178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2992849643268817750.post-16199453806562901602022-08-03T02:44:25.662-07:002022-08-03T02:44:25.662-07:00Congrats on a beautiful finish Jocelyn.

Now, I have just a few changes, not enough to consider many options. It makes getting dressed quick and easy. I'm sure your linen shirt was a comfortable choice for hot weather.<br />Your basket quilt looks great. What a delightful variety of fabrics.<br />I think some quilts pack a punch when viewed from a distance, some are more subtle and we see their beauty when we look closely. I think your Redwork Birds is one of the latter. Your embroidery is spectacular!<br />Three labs makes for a houseful of dogs, I imagine.
