Happy Independence Day!
We’re having a nontraditional 4th of July at our house — doing a little cleaning, a little laundry, making a late-afternoon visit to neighbors, and (if I’m lucky) I’ll do a little sewing in the evening. My DH reads my blog (or at least scans it), and I’m sure he’s thinking, hmmm, didn’t see anything about cleaning up that sewing-room disaster downstairs! Hey, I’m declaring my independence from icky cleaning jobs today! I’ll only do easy cleaning jobs! Yes, I know that with freedom comes responsibility, but I’ll be responsible tomorrow.
With today being a holiday, I’ve noticed it’s a slow day in Blog Land. Just for fun, the first three people to leave me a comment on this post will get a red, white, and/or blue fat quarter from me. Just be sure I have a way to get hold of you!
(Kim, Kathy, Kare & Robin will be getting FQs in the mail. I extended it to four because Kare’s and Robin’s comments came in within seconds of each other. Thanks for sending some fun my way today!)

Funny… I was just thinking it would be a good day to clean my studio. I’m having a hard time seeing the top of my work table…

I’m not afraid to jump in. I, too, have been doing some cleaning but I’m not making much progress. Hope you are having better luck…Kathy

Happy 4th! I’m sewing all day today. Chris went to the cookout (because I can’t really go outside) so I have the day to myself.

Hi Sue,
I received my beautiful fabric in the mail today; it is considerably larger than a fat quarter! Thank you so much. I have been gathering fabrics for a Christmas wallhanging and I think this will fit in perfectly. I’ll post a photo on my blog when I get a chance. Thanks again very much. ;o)
