Sounds like a small, do-able list for August, but I have some non-quilty things going on that will take a lot of time. Hopefully I can accomplish the things on this list!
I love your flying geese quilt! The autumnal color scheme is perfect, too -- that's when you see them flying away for the winter, after all!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on staying in the black and on all the finishes.
ReplyDeleteI love the ribbon you made, gorgeous. Lots of different fabric and designs under your needle this past month. I'm glad that list you wrote is for the month of August, I first assumed it was for the first WEEK of the month!
ReplyDeleteI really, really like the quilt ribbon you made. I am also amazed at how much you got done.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful finishes. I say staying even on your stash with a fat quarter sale is pretty good.
