Theme for August?

Sounds like a fascinating quilt, Mickie. For August...summer activities--picnics, swimming in the pool?

Actually I'm not making a quilt. I do the guild's newsletter and I was looking for an August themed quilt block to fill up the last page. I post each month's horoscope from

and get a copywrite-free art clip online to display with it. Thank you for all your suggestions. My internet connection went off shortly after I posted the question, and will not be bck on til Monday so I was unable to get any of them until now - at the moment I am in the parking lot of Quaker Steak and Lube using their free wireless connection on my laptop and posting via Google. What a pain. LOL Thanks again, Mickie

Quaker *Steak* and Lube??? You get a steak when you get a lube or you have a steak dinner while they service your vehicle??? We need one of those here in West Plains! I might even trade you Gammill Quilting Machines for the Steak & Lube! LOL

Leslie, I was wondering the same thing. We don't have steak and lubes in our part of the country!!!!

Where do you find free clip art of quilt blocks? I do my guild's newsletter and would love to find something like that.

i'm sure this is no help at all. :) how about hanging some daffodil's upside down from the top of the block,. showing late winter blooms in the southern hemisphere. should be good for a chuckle or two anyhow. lol. j.

don't have much in the way of quilt clips here, but there'sa lot of other things you might want to use - baskets, flowers,cats, dogs, amimals. ...here is a place that has a very few quilt blocks- you have Electric Quilt or Quilt Pro or some kind of drawingprogram you can make your own blocks into clips.

Thanks, Mickie!

Oh Jeanne, that's grand! You could do a quilt of all your fav flowers for the spring and summer just by doing half the blocks northern hemisphere and the other half southern hemisphere! What a happy and colorful quilt that would be. Debra in VA See my quilts at:
