Sunday Sevens is a weekly blog series in which we share seven-or-so pictures that show a little bit of what our week was about. Natalie at Threads and Bobbins is the one who got the whole thing started. Everyone is welcome to join us!
Lots of outdoorsy photos to show you today, as I did a lot of walking this week.
This is Chiawana Park in Pasco. Love this end of the park with all the old trees.
Those big white birds there are pelicans. (Most of the other birds in the picture are our full-figured local geese, and the pelicans dwarf them, so they are BIG.)
Grumpy Old Bear wasn’t happy about having to share the bed with his sister, so he went off to sit in the sink, where there’s only enough room for a bear.
The July block for my Cozy Afternoon BOM is done; I really like this one.
Wade and Chiawana Parks were taken over by boat race stuff on Friday, so I took this raised path along the Pasco side of the river.
My niece had a baby boy this week, so I decided to whip out a quick baby quilt for her. I pieced this on Friday, got some batting from SCRAP on Saturday, and put my quilt sandwich together. And now I’m being horribly indecisive about how I want to quilt it. 😛
I was initially thinking wavy lines like this, but I’m also considering big concentric hearts . . . I just haven’t done enough quilting to feel confident in my choices yet.
I just need to dive in and quit thinking about it, don’t I?
Yep, I thought so.
Have a great week, everybody, and try not to let your brain get in your way.

Wow! You’ve got a beautiful landscape too. Love the picture of your cat in the sink 🙂

Thanks! I’m not familiar with these dignified, aloof cats that other people seem to have; all my cats are silly, cuddly goofs (that one most of all). 😉

love that adorable baby quilt! Quilting always makes me indecisive too. I think hearts would look really cute!

Thank you! I worry that I’m going to choose the wrong thing and mess up something that I’m pretty happy with so far. I think I’ll mark a few hearts and start the quilting, then stand back and reassess. Wish me luck!

I feel the same way! I’ve got a monochrome top that’s almost ready to quilt and I’m stumped at what I should do because I love it and don’t want to ‘mess it up’!…Good Luck with the hearts!!!

Grumpy Old Bear! He is adorable. And it looks like you had a nice restful week, the quilt is so pretty, what a lucky little nephew you have. I think the hearts would be lovely for a new baby.

Thank you! I definitely want something curvy to break up all those lines, and I like the heart idea, too, to add a more traditional element to a pretty non-traditional baby quilt.

Your baby quilt looks so nice – please post a pic of the completed one! Bear in the sink made me laugh; what a funny place to sleep!

Pooh and Shelby generally get along really well, but he gets grumpy when she spends too much time on the bed (his territory). That leads to some skirmishes then, if she keeps getting up there, he decides THAT’S IT, I’M GOING TO GO LIVE IN THE BATHROOM. The other day, I got up in the morning, went into the bathroom, and there he was curled up in the shower stall. In a couple of days, he’ll be over it and be back on the bed.
Going to try to GET OVER MYSELF and quilt the thing today–will post pictures!

OH that park is sooo lovely. I love the composition of the photo, too, with the park bench in just the right place, inviting me in.
The quilt looks so pretty – definitely go for the hearts. The perfectionism thing happens to me all the time, and it’s why I sometimes avoid finishing the machine top stitching n some parts of things I’m pleased with. But it doesn’t serve either of us to be perfectionists so dive right in. No one will ever notice any wobbles and in fact it might look more charming with stylized hearts that vary, anyhow. None of our hearts look (or behave) the same! 🙂
