Third Saturday of June 2021

The theme for "Hang Your Quilt Day" this June was a choice of  "June's Blooms" or something patriotic. I chose to hang my Out of the Blue quilt made from Kaffe Fassett florals. I do not have many floral quilts mainly because I rarely purchase floral fabric. Hmm... I will need to remedy that. The florals in this quilt came from a kit. Details about my FMQ on Out of the Blue and how it got its name can be found at my post dated 8/16/17. Out of the Blue measures 63" x 63".

When I photograph my quilts on "Hang Your Quilt Day" I always like to include our WELCOME sign and its inverse shadow in the image.

Just the other day – June 14, Flag Day – I grabbed some images of our front area – the blooms looked so pretty. I also lingered outdoors that day to enjoy; but not today or yesterday when the temperature reached over 105° both days. I will just gaze on the June blooms in these photos instead.

Hang Your Quilt Day Beginnings
Beginning April 2020, my quilt guild members began a tradition of hanging quilts in the front of their homes on the third Saturday of the month as a source of enjoyment for the community and as a thank you for the essential workers during the pandemic. My initial post about this practice is dated 4/22/20. I am pleased to see the displays are still going on and even more pleased that the pandemic restrictions are easing up.
