Lazy Tuesday

I am so not motivated today. There are tons of things to be done around the house and I would love to just chuck it all and go sew.
This block is attached to a quilt that I promised I would show. All is appliqued except for the dark blue center. The amount of applique I have done that did not make it into a quilt is quite staggering, I am finding out!

This is the quilt it belongs on. I made this in a class I took a very long time ago, notice the reproduction fabrics...

It looks weird because I took the picture on a gray rug and those light colored background really pop out. Okay so I ask you why would I just stop right here? I did the hard part! getting all those points to match and making sure the center isn't poofy. Ughhh.

Here is the other pitiful block, I can't even remember what flower I was going to put there. So I think I will take the blocks that are there off, and replace them with a nice sort of reproductiony type fabric, no applique.

On a brighter note for the day, while I was looking for the lone star quilt I found this lace pinned on a piece of fabric. I have no idea how it got there or who it belongs to? Did some family member give it to me? Not sure. Isn't it beautiful? Look how intricate it is. I think it is like a sampler of some sort. If anyone knows please tell.

Just because it is ridiculously hot almost everywhere in the US, here is a nice cool picture to refresh you. We had dinner with friends last Saturday night and this is a part of their unbelievable back yard. They have a waterfall, benches, pathways and beautiful plantings.

We dined with the goldfish and listened to the bullfrogs.
