My latest fabric purchase: I ordered these cute Forest Fellows prints for a baby quilt for my niece who's expecting her third boy in October. These will make a cute little boy quilt. I found some Orange Grunge to go with them, and I have some Kona Bone in my stash for background. The forest print will be borders and backing; the aqua foxes will be used in the pieced blocks.

Wow, I didn't realize I accomplished so much this month! No wonder my stash numbers looked good. My bee's Sew-In and a 3-day retreat at GS camp really helped. Plus I stayed home in the air conditioning a lot this month and it turned out to be really productive for me.
July Goals:
1, Write and post 12 Days of Christmas in July tutorial, to go live 7/21.
2. Prep PAussietivity & its backing and take to the long armer.
3. Plan and write up secret project, a collaboration with Alycia for later.
4. Work on Laurie's baby quilt.
5. Layer, baste, and quilt QF 2015 alt blocks quilt
6. If returned from the quilter, finish SID quilting and bind Maple Leaf Star.
7. Keep up with bee blocks
8. Make one doll outfit or accessory item
OK, that should keep me busy!

Being in the black is a great feeling!
ReplyDeleteGreat week for finishes. It will be hot next week, so more time to sew inside.
ReplyDeleteWow, June was a very productive month indeed and congratulations for having more fabric going out than in! :)
ReplyDeleteI sorta went over the fabric edge this month, too; must have been that strawberry moon! Cute foxes!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on being in the black in stash usage. You did have a really productive month! Hope July is as successful.
ReplyDeleteI hope my July turns out half as productive as your June. How awesome to have accomplished so much. I think any fabric additions were well deserved. I will have to check out the Forrest Fellows prints. They just might be the answer I'm looking for, for a baby quilt construction.
