Time just flies by!
July was spent moving my daughter to grad school.
Texas A&M - Corpus Christi
offered her a nice grad assistant position!
The first few days were interesting …
no furniture for the first few days!
so we made the best of it and camped in
her living room on blow up mattresses!!
Then all the Ikea furniture arrived -
it only took two days to put together a
bed, night stand, couch, TV stand and bureau!

| this is what an Ikea couch looks like when it arrives!! |
I did have lots of time between everything
to get a few Sashiko squares done!
Thirteen to be exact!
We also took a day to shop at two quilt stores in Corpus Christi.
My daughters not a quilter but she was happy to go along for the ride -
I think she wanted a break from assembling furniture!
The first shop was The Quilt Cottage
a very nice cozy shop with lots of samples to tease you!
I picked up a few things!
Then onto Heirloom Elegance
another nice shop with lots of fabrics!
I found these Robert Kaufman London Calling beauties
there so scooped up 2 yards of each!
They will fit in nicely with my Liberty of London collection!
Now that I'm home I have a new project on the design wall…
my guild has a challenge for our Sept 2015 quilt show
"50 shades of …. Purple"!!
My inspiration was this photo from a sidewalk at Texas A&M:
here is the beginning all laid out on the design wall.

Hope your summer is going Quilty well!
Happy Quilting, Janet :)
