Last Gasp of Pink

It is the final pink weekend!  Next Saturday will be the first and time to put away the rosy hues in favor of blue for June.  I have just a few pink star blocks to finish. The geese are cut and ready for assembly, so that should not take long at all. Yesterday was the last day for students! I will go in next week to wrap up a few odds and ends and then there will be a short week of camp, but there is a light nearing.  Sydney popped home for a weekend so we will enjoy spending some time with her, when she is not hanging out with her friends. It looks like a beautiful beach day and I am guessing we will be finding some aloe for sun burns before it ends.  

Kurt had her room completely torn apart and ready for painting when she surprised us by coming home for the weekend. He was able to get everything reassembled enough for a few days though and I will have a time after she is gone to do things properly. I really do love painting, the mood is sure to be more conducive now that summer has properly arrived. 

I pulled a tiny leftovers quilt out last weekend to see if I could cross something else off of the list. There are some leftover green binding strips that I might auditioning as an inner border and then perhaps a lighter wider green outside of that. I hope you are finishing up your May blocks and finding some time to play with your scraps. Misterlinky is below

College application boot camp sounds like a great idea for both kids and parents! I remember those times being a bit overwhelming. Have a wonderful weekend, Angela!

A surprise visit from adult children - such fun! I'm very excited to start working with blue next.

It has to feel good with the year winding down. Enjoy the holiday weekend with Sydney. Hope you still get in a bit of stitching time.

Wow! That binding strip shows how small those 9-patch blocks are. Amazing! Enjoy! ;^)

Ooh, adorable little nine patches! Green will set them off nicely.

OOPS! Who was more surprised -- you & Kurt by the unannounced visit OR Sydney with her turned-upside-down room? Lol! Glad you're seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Summer break will soon be ready for you to enjoy! What shade(s) of blue are we tackling for June?
