June quilts

I have several tops waiting for batting. These were started by Nancy with some blocks out of her box. Thanks Nancy! Also waiting are 7 cheater panel tops.

This pic shows 4 finished quilts. There are 2 of the red Chinese coin quilts done.

This makes 5 more finished quilts on their way to Linus.

We will be spending the month of June away at school for Tim. I have my machine and projects with me. We'll see how much gets done.

Mean while the garden still grows ! ~~~~~~~K

Long weekend

hihi,
We have a long weekend here Tim took a day off to go to the Airshow and a picnic tomorrow.

I have spent the week sorting thru all the many boxes of fabric. I now have three large, carefully folded boxes. I sorted them into colors, backings, and Hot idea/coordinated bundles. I filled a hanger with six cheater cloth panels and backsides. quickies! I also pieced two tops this week. ALL these tops are waiting for batting. I'll have to order a new bulk roll soon !

I quilted with the walking foot 4 days this week and have 5 tops ready to be hemmed. Those will be saved for lazy summer days coming up.

The month of June will be spent in Okla at a school for Tim. I'm slowly starting to organize things for traveling.

enjoy the holiday ~~K

Please note on there, all the many ways YOU can help. You could even do a teen project with EZ fleece blankets that would be cozy. Knitters are welcome to help too.

I have had much help with this project since Oprah gave me the 'Idea' in Nov. At that time it was a goal of 30 lap size quilts, with the idea that all good things blossom and bloom and get carried forward by more than one person.
.And it has .

There has been numerous boxes of fabric, dollar cards, envelopes of fabric, Thanks you Shell, Lin, Nancy, Lori, Susan, Kay, Sonia, Shells Club Ladys, Linda's neighbors, and extra hands from Tim. We now have 30 quilts out there doing their jobs !!!..

.................and a closet full of fabric yet to transform. SO I guess I keep at it... the year ain't done yet!!

NO More Blue !

The blues are done. Im switching to RED !

I have 8 Blue quilts plus 2 others with binding ready to hem. 4 in the DONE pile. These will be hemmed some nice day on the new patio.

This next 2 weeks I am sewing RED feathered stars for a friend in Tx.
