Make-A-List Color Mondays: Rivers!

Hey! I found some of my missing sew-jo! Dealing with health problems sure takes a whole lot out of you, but I got a few things done last week:

• Finish Giveaway Weekender - ALMOST done! Here's a progress shot:

• Finish Zebra Pillow - deadline June 30th - it just needs to be quilted. What do you think so far:

Project #2 ready to be quilted on Monday. Cute little zebra pillow. #animalinyouswap @mrees2511

• Finish Giraffe Open Wide Pouch - deadline June 30th - DONE! Blogged here
• Start Elephant Ticker Tape Wall hanging - deadline June 30th - had to change plans a bit (a rant for another day - grrrr!), but I like what I went with. I'll be quilting these today:

• Finish Gingham table runner - deadline July 3rd - also just needs quilting:

Patriotic polka dot gingham table runner is half done. It's a trifecta of awesome! #farmgirlvintage

So based on that lil' update up there, guess what I'm doing today?

QUILTING!

See, when you're husband comes home for a week, you take advantage of the extra parent and you schedule quilting time. At least that's what I did.

So this week, I plan to:

• Quilt and bind Zebra Pillow
• Quilt and bind Elephant wall hanging
• Quilt and bind Gingham Table runner
• Quilt and bind Simple Life Dottie #1
• And finally finish the Giveaway Weekender

If I can swing it, I'm going in for another quilting day on Friday. We'll see how it works, but I'd LOVE to get a few more things quilted and ready to go.

And now, for the color palette.

Rivers. Why rivers, you ask?

I love rivers. If I could, I'd live right next to one. I love the sound of them. I love sitting by them. I love the way the light plays with them. LOVE them.

I live in a city with a few rivers. And in the hot hot hot summer, we float down them on inner tubes. 2 1/2 hours of floating. It's lovely and relaxing and the cold (freakin' cold!) water feels great. Just don't do what I did the first time I floated the river and forget your sunblock. Worst. Sunburn. Ever.

So here are some of my favorite rivers:

The Boise River:

My beloved Columbia River, twice!

And the Ohanepecosh River at Mt. Rainier - will always be one of my favorite rivers:

How 'bout you? Are you a river person like me? Do you have a favorite list of rivers?
