Fresh Sewing Day

Good morning! It is looking like it will be another lovely day here in Michigan. Other than a little much needed rain last Sunday morning, we have had the most gorgeous weather for the last week here.

It is Fresh Sewing Day over at Lily’s Quilts where she invites each of us quilty bloggers to share what we have done over the last month. It is not only a great way to share, it is a great way to discover great blogs to add to my reading list! Here is a recap of my finishes for September.

First of all, I quilted several quilts for Quilts Beyond Borders:

I also put these antique blocks together into a small top and started hand quilting this.

I made 64 of these cross blocks for a quilt for a friend.

I finally finished the binding for the QOV for August. Oops!

I made 13 of the following blocks for a quilt for a thank you gift. I actually have them finished and sewn together and today will add a border before work. I hope to get the back ready and get it in the frame yet this week.

This seems a good time to set some October goals.

1. Finish the above album quilt and ship it off.

2. Complete two QOVs since I didn’t get one done for September.

3. Finish the small indigo and shirting quilt that I am handquilting.

4. Complete a sewing project with a young girl that I will be teaching to sew. She is 11 and will be coming to my house once a week in October to make a tote bag and some accessories.

5. Embroider at least three presentation cases for QOVs.

6. Make the challenge quilt for Small Quilt Talk Yahoo group.

Hmmmm…..I better get to work! Don’t forget to check out the links for Fresh Sewing Day at Lily’s Quilts.
