Waiting for Power

Due to tropical storm Isaias, we have been without power and internet since Tuesday, and I miss my sewing machine! We are fortunate to have a backup solar system which provides about 30% power to our house (fridge, water, microwave, some lights and outlets) and it refills each day in the sun. And it hasn't been terribly hot. I wish I had prepared more bindings to hand sew, and I really should consider starting the wool hand applique project I purchased supplies for in December! However, I'm mostly taking walks and reading.

I did photograph a couple of finishes, tops I've blogged about earlier. I've seen suggestions lately to use fishing magnets to hang quits on the garage door for photos - that is genius!

Here is my quilted and bound "Twirla" quilt. I did simple double loop quilting on this donation quilt.

I also quilted and bound one of my scrappy plus quilts. Made with 3" squares and 3"x 9" rectangles. Simple wavy lines and occasional loops finished it off nicely. Another donation quilt for my growing pile. I hope my guild will be able to make some quilt distributions this fall even if we can't meet in person. I want my quilts to be snuggled and used!

Linking up with Finished or Not Friday and Whoop Whoop Friday.
