Another Scorching Week

Not a day under 100 degrees. But at least it isn't humid. Thank you,God.

July in Review

Most of the month was spent in vacation mode, but I did accomplish a bit of sewing:
First, taking Alan to Dinosaur Camp

here's a metal brontasaurus

and then to swim lessons

He's the one left of the instructor.

Followed by a short trip to Vancouver, WA to visit my older son and family.

Visited Multnomah Falls in the Columbia River Gorge.

So in between these activities I put together a 2000 UFO Christmas top  along with the table runner (which I showed in a previous post) for Christmas in July.  I was suppose to do UFO #11 as per my list for Judy's UFO challenge, however I decided to this one instead - long buried.

This had been for the longest time in three sections. When I laid them out on my design floor I realized it was too long and too narrow.  So I took them apart and changed it so it would fit a twin bed. The pattern is called Stardust Quilt by Gail Abeloe of Back Porch Press.  It's suppose to be a fat quarter easy quilt. The Guild did a Christmas fabric swap of 6" squares to give us the variety of material needed to make it.  It's much brighter in person.  I hope to have it quilted by this coming December.  So that was my UFO project for the month.

As to a new project, I did start a new baby quilt

It's only 21 1/2" at this point.  I'll need to add 15" more.

What have you done during July?  Head on over to Meredithe's 6 and 6 in 2018 to see what others were doing.

FMQ Start

I'm traveling, but I set this post up before I left.  If I can figure out how to do it, I'll send photos via my cell phone (should you be interested).  Started to quilt that preemie top. Thought I'd do a bit more than just SITD on this charity quilt.

I'm linking to Lizzie's Free Motion Mavericks  What are you up to?
