Report for July

 Well, what did I do for July? Welll, not much in the finishing department.

But I worked on a few things.

Firstly, I worked on my baby quilt that I seem to have forever been at it. I'm quilting it now.  Got all the grid work done, and now adding wreaths to the center blocks.

I'm using freezer paper to quilt them.  I cut out the wreath and cut between the blades to make it easier to remove the paper. You can't see the cuts but they are there. I go over the top edge of the first blade then go down towards the circle then back up and continue this way until I'm back at the first one I've done. Then I go down the last blade and do the circle.

Next,  I saw a different friendship star (I think it was on Facebook) and wanted to try it. This is what I came up with using partial seams to construct it.

And here's the first row of my next St. Anne's baby quilt. They're 9 1/2" stars and four rows will make a 36" quilt.

Thirdly,  I made the next round of our groups sew along. They just had to make 4 blocks with their scrappy fabrics and their background. Each one is 6 1/2" square.

I'll close with a Facebook photo of a wonderful quilt. It was shared by the Mystery 50 group which I've joined to do their first mystery. It was fun.

What have you been up to?  Leave a comment and I'll go see your post and say hi.  I'm linking to Design Wall Monday since most of these are on my wall. Visit and see all the lovely quilts being posted. Blessings,

Report for May

Hello, getting a monthly report in. I'm trying to do better at posting in a more timely manner. Here is my May endeavors - some finishes and some progress.

Argh! Hubby was holding this upside down. Oh well. This a tube baby quilt which I made for my Grand niece born two month's early due to eclampsia. Named Liliana Rosalie. Welcome sweet baby girl!

Made some progress on my Love Entwined. Those pesky 1/8" stems took a long time to make. Flowers next.

Had to add a back to this sweet little quilt. Mom embroidered it some time ago, but the knots showed on the back, thus the required back. Then bound it.

Participated in a Mini Mystery Sew Along. It was fun! Came out to 21" square. Have decided to enlarge it by adding some more borders to 36" and donate it to our St. Anne's group at church.

My design wall is full of these projects.

I'm linking to Design Wall Mondays and Wednesday Wait Loss. Lots of interesting quilts there.  Oh, yes, I've added the first row to my mini flimsy. One or two more to go.

It was a busy month. Mom is doing well. She has some good days and some not so good. I think she does fine for a 99 year-old. 

That's it for the May month. What are you up to?  Leave a comment and I'll visit you to see how it's going at your house. Blessings!
