What a crazy month this has been! It's seen it's share of celebrations (2 birthdays and one wedding anniversary), 2 sets of night duty, and a whole lot of gardening! In between, there have been random bursts of quilting, a bit of knitting, LOTS of garden "stuff", and a new-to-me stitching project. Seeing as this is primarily a quilting blog, maybe we should start there. I've managed to keep up with most of my monthly challenges (just don't ask about my temperature quilt...) First up, I'll share my "Patterns by Jen" monthly colour challenge. This month, the fruit / vegetable was the pumpkin - and I chose the most obvious colours to make it (dark orange for the skin, lighter orange for the inside flesh). I'll admit, I wasn't careful enough putting it together, and managed to sew one half-square triangle unit on backward... (I caught and corrected it!) 
The colour for June's Rainbow Scrap Challenge was purple, and, once again, I made 16 half square triangle units with low volume fabrics, and (4) 9-patch blocks (2 with dark corners, 2 with light).
I also finally finished up 2 quilt tops from Bonnie Hunter's 2020 leader-ender challenge (Easy Breezy). One top is a generous throw size, and the 2nd is a smaller square throw (I'm considering making it a bit larger...). 
I'm still working on my temperature quilt, but had to wait for more fabric - and just haven't had time to get back to it. Tomorrow is a holiday, so maybe then?
And finally, a quick peek of my blackwork project - more news on that in my next post. Each block will eventually be bordered - lots more to do!
Thanks for reading !
