I was finally able to start on Nathan’s curtains, and that feels good. I am halfway through one roman shade. I got to the point that I was comfortable getting to – cutting and sewing together the lining and the outside fabric. Now, I really need to focus on adding the roman shade tape for the towels. I am using some sort of tubing in a kit I got from Jo-Ann. I have to make two since he has two windows, so I figured I make one from scratch, learn my mistakes, and make another from scratch all over again. I am hoping that doing it that way, rather than assembly line style, will prevent mistakes.
I’ve also got a birthday gift in the wraps for Corinne. I have GOT to get started on that! The party is in a few weeks, and it will be here before I know it. I want to make her a mat cover to nap on at school. I think I can get it done before the party, but at the expense of the Roman Shades, which is OK. He still doesn’t mind the ladybugs that are there currently.
I got behind on my blocks. I spent two weeks catching up in my limited free time. I am so thankful I got caught up since I’ve got vacation, birthdays, weddings, first days of school, etc., coming up at the end of summer and fall. 
A spider block. I did one in the spring for the bee, and once I did one, this one was easy.
The Easy Virginia Star. She wanted it to look nostalgic. I did paper piecing for this thinking it would be easy. I have paper pieced before and found it very quick. However, this pattern I found challenging and time consuming, and I had to modify it when I made a mistake. Can you tell? 
And, something to represent a circle for Stephanie. I appliquéd it on. I am still not very confident or patient with curved seams. I love her fabric choices.
