I kept to my plan and finished hand quilting this small quilt last week. Now I’m working on binding. Many people commented on the one block that had a little bit of gold in it. That was my inspiration for the binding choice.
It isn’t exactly the same color, but I think I’m gonna like this.
Happy slow stitching day!

Oops! I forgot to share this one! Here’s another QOV in the Standing Strong pattern. I quilted this one with a pantograph from Urban Elementz called Modern Twist.
Here’s a look at the back.
Have a great day!
The last of the QOVs from the Stitching Sisters group is done for this month. This beautiful sampler was pieced by Cheryl B. It is quite large and I had a hard time getting pictures!
This is the back.
This one was pieced by Val W. All that negative space just cried out for feathers!
Here is the back.
And a few detail shots.
Have a great day!

It’s that time again! Here are the goals I set for myself for August:
1. Finish the little quilt that I am currently had quilting. Not done.
2. Finish my Shenandoah Stars quilt. Done!
3. Quilt some QOVs. Done! I quilted 6 this month.
I’ll show the others Friday.
4. Finish this top. Not done.
I had a couple other finishes as well. First the table runner from the Improv Stripes QAL.
And the QOV UFO.
Now to plan for September.
1. I’d like to get my batik rectangles top done and quilted.
2. Quilt any QOVs that come in.
3. Quilt my red log cabin quilt.
4. I really want to finish hand quilting the little indigo and white quilt shown above.
5. I want to finish my little Jeep Quilt.
Have a great day!
It’s been a busy week, but I’m getting a bit done here and there. I have finished all the blocks for this quilt. I need to get them sewn together. These rectangles finish at 2 by 4 inches. These rectangle dies from Accuquilt are some of my very favorites. Click here to get free shipping on Accuquilt products. ETA: I just find out all Studio dies are half off starting today and ending Monday with the coupon code STUDIODEALS.
I’ve been watching these two while Daughter #1 sleeps after her night shifts at the hospital. I like to walk to the library with them.
I recently listened to this audiobook. It was good, but sad.
I succumbed to the Craftsy sale last week. I may or may not have been influenced by a friend!
Mr. Wonderful bought this puzzle for me! We had a great time putting it together.
I have kept to working on this a bit every day since Sunday and now I have just one row left.
I’m watching my little boys again today. Hope you have a good one!

Remember this row by row kit I bought back in June? I finally got around to working on it.
It took me forever to cut all these little bits out!
I didn’t do a great job either. I changed the dog fabric to look more like my Pierre.
I still have to do the lettering on the sign, but everything else is fused in place.
Now comes the stitching part. Ugh…..I hope that part goes better than the first part. There are some VERY tiny bits here. Back to work!
Have a great day!
This beautiful sampler top was made by Stitching Sisters member, Cheryl B. It just seemed to call for a custom quilting job.
This top is huge! Here are some of the blocks.
This one will be done soon and then on to the last for this month.
Have a great day!

I thought I’d share an update on my hand quilting progress. It should have been done by now. But there isn’t any deadline.
In this picture you can see that quilted vs. nonquilted parts. It’s hard to see the difference!
The back is where the quilting shows.
You can tell where the edges of the quilt top are by the basting lines. I used a couple different feedsacks for the back and one was quite yellow.
And a full shot of the top.
I find my hand often goes numb when hand quilting so that accounts for part of the slowness. I hope to get two more fans quilted today. If I did two every day for a week, it would be done!
Have a great day!

I took some more black and white photos while out and about with Z last week.
Have a great day!
Here are three QOVs that I got quilted this week. I love working on these! The first was made by Kathy D.
This one was made by Pat S. I’ve had people ask me about the pattern. I found out that it is called Standing Strong and can be found here.
This last one was made by Nadine G.
Have a great day!
