August 2nd! Happy Design Wall Monday ladies!! Boy, July whizzed by in a hurry, didn’t it? The doll quilt name I asked for your help with last week shall be named “Little Red”. Thanks for all your suggestions. Gretchen pointed out that it should have a little name because it is such a little quilt, and I agree. I’ll quilt it this week when I am back home with my sewing machine.
When bringing only embroidery quilt UFOs with me to the cabin, I included four dish towels, a UFOs that I started years ago. It is a set of four towels, that had been stamped with an iron on transfer of squirrels. For some reason that I don’t know, I had started on three of them, doing only part of each squirrel. Well, now all three are finished, and I am working on the fourth. They will all be completed soon:
Our daughter, Christa, and her family have been visiting from Texas. Today Christa worked on a crocheted baby afghan that she brought with her. She has a goal of using all of her extra yarn to make baby blankets and other baby things to give away. Like my fabric stash, her yarn stash is bountiful.
She didn’t want her picture taken, so this is just a peek at her over the baby afghan. This baby afghan will have a border of the light lavender all around the outside when it is complete. She says she will be finished with it before she goes home, and will leave it here for a charity gift for someone. She’s so nice.
But it was not all just playing games with Tucker for Penny. Here she is out in the lake with me, enjoying the water. This picture shows why July went by so fast for me. hehehe

It's so nice you had a good visit with your daughter and her dog. The afghan is very cute. My mother used to use up yarn by crocheting granny squares. She also made my boys some striped afghans. Have a wonderful week, happy stitching!
Your embroidered squirrel towels are so cute! Enjoy your time at the lake.
This sounds so fun to have the family around - and you are both crafty!! LOVE it! Penny Lane needs a nap ;-)
Very cute dish towels with the squirrels! Looks like it was a wonderful week with family. Hope August is just as good.
Nice to see Christa. I’d like to know what stitch she used to get the scallop on the purple part of the blanket. I’m a double dipper-have fabric and yarn stash.
Nice to see Christa. I’d like to know how she got the scallop look on the purple part of the blanket. It’s really pretty. I’m a double dipper-have both fabric and yarn stash. Well….maybe a triple dipper because I’ve been mostly doing counted cross stitch lately.
Squirrels collecting, storing and eating nuts--so cute and fun!!! Nice you could spend time with your daughter and your dogs could spend time together!!! This is the perfect time to slow down and enjoy the lake!
I LOVE the pic of Penny lane in your lap on the floatie! How cute is that! She'll rest for days betcha!
How nice to get special visitors and relax on vacation. The lake time sounds lovely. Cute embroidery!
Sounds like everyone had a wonderful July! The squirrel towels are delightful, and the afghan is so pretty.
Looks like a wonderful way to spend the summer!
Oh, Judy — I loved seeing the picture of your daughter Christa, and the one of you and your Penny Lane out on the water! So nice to match up a face with the Voice of Design Wall Monday! :-). Those squirrel dish towels remind me of ones I inherited from my grandmother and still use — they remind me of her, every time I use them!
Sounds like you had a fabulous time with your daughter. Have a wonderful week.
Hi Judy, it looks like you had a great time in the water and out! Glad your July went well, and you are even getting some lovely squirrel UFOs done. How wonderful. Take care.
