July pics



I had good intentions of blogging after our July meeting.  I can't believe that was three weeks ago! Actually, it all started at Friendship when Lynn brought her fabulous made fabric piece.  I think she plans to add more to it but I think it is pretty great just the way it is.

 

 

 

I also don't want to miss posting the Kilroy shot of Ruth's lovely Blitzen Jelly Roll quilt.

 

 

Aside from cramming in lots of summer activities, I've been trying to finish up a few things.  First, I got the binding finished on the checkerboard.  You can see I took the safe route when digging through Jan's stash but I think it is the right choice for this one.  I didn't take the time to crop the rest of the pics, as you will see.  Maybe next time.



 

 

Next, I finished the two I Spy's for our friends who adopted twin 4 year old boys from Bulgaria. I'm hoping they can use these for bonding and a little vocabulary.

 

 

After sending the Bernina to the spa, I needed a piecing fix so I started working on my Wildwood challenge. I decided I'd save time by using some leftover squares from the Subway quilt, not thinking that this would make the triangles 1 inch finished size.  Let's just say that my piece will be much closer to the minimum than the maximum dimensions.

 



We're on hiatus for August and it looks like our September get together will be 9/21.  I believe that we decided to discuss a Mary Ellen Hopkins challenge in more detail at that meeting.

 

Enjoy the last few weeks of summer!
