Bog Shirt Dress

Nursing a peturnia through our hot summer, with my Mother's Day rose 

The bog shirt makes a great summer dress - big, loose and cool. And took about 15 minutes to make. It's 100% linen, and I don't bother to iron it, just taking it out of the dryer as soon as the dryer stops. Love that texture.  Note the  "ugly quilt" on the sewing table inside the living room window.

Lazy Summer Sunday

It came!  The catalog of the Irving Penn exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.  It's a treasure.
I am wearing my latest fashion: The big purple bog shirt made of linen. The older I get the less I care about appearances - obviously.

A Tummy Time Quilt for Baby Girl Beuk

I had a hard time getting inspired for this quilt and I was running out of time. But finally decided I loved the block - so why not make it a "One Block" quilt. My parameters (y'all know how I love the challenge of limitations) were a set of 5 Fat Quarters, and whatever I could find from the stash. I only had to buy backing/binding. BTW: Tummy Time quilts are for laying on the floor so baby can have time on its tummy. The experts are advising against using quilts to cover baby in the crib. They are also used to cover baby in the carrier.
