This week I have been working on my sister's quilt. I have it all together, so now I need to get it ready for quilting. I will be doing prim stitching on the top and then decide on whether to hand stitch or machine quilt, since I want to finish it, so I can get it to her. Now that Joannes is gone, I need to find a place to get discount threads. I always buy on sale days or with coupons.
Since I like to have something simple to work on and a brain break, I worked on a puzzle. I took advantage of prime day and got a good deal on a fun puzzle.
Last week we got a walk in, at the lighthouse. It is always so much cooler on the island and I got to enjoy some birding. At the marsh I got to enjoy watching the new family. Both parents and two babies were in the nest. The parents were upset since someone was walking closer, from the beach area.
In another marsh, I caught a Great Egret.
At home the Sparrows are on their fourth batch of babies. This time they had a couple and the babies are always hungry.
And in just one week, they have grown. This one was trying to cool off in the heat. It won't be long before they are out on their own.
I hope you enjoyed your week and have a good weekend. Hopefully I can get more time with my sewing and finish more quilts this year.

What fun pictures of your sparrow babies.
Awww...those baby sparrows are so cute. The photo of the egret is stunning!! I've never been a puzzle person but looks like you certainly are!
Threads and fabric are getting expensive here ... I try for sales too...

I love all your posts but am a little jealous of your promixity to the coast. Alas. If this helps, I buy the gigantic cone of Aurifil from Amazon for about $10 less than the fabric shops. I sew everything on this color except for binding for about nine months.
