I can't believe it's been nearly 2 months since I posted an updated. I've been busy outside of the house and when home, didn't spend my time in front of the computer. For the entire month of May, I didn't sew one stitch - not even on the long holiday weekend...
I have been sewing this month and have a "finish" to report. I finished my Nordic Snowflake quilt top. Ok, it's only the top, but still it's a finish!
I just finished it last night, so I have to take photos and then I'll post them. The top is 72" square and turned out really nice. I paper pieced a dala horse into the center and boy, was the a trial. I must have sewn it twice by the time I completed the block....lots of ripping and resewing. It may me realize it's been a long time since I paper pieced and I need to do more as I'm very out of practice. Still, the top looks fantastic!
June's number is 10 - which means,........antique kites and Amanda's Dino quilt. It's over halfway through the month, so I'm sure I won't get either done. I have a block drafted for the kite block and I plan to use my scrap box - which is nearly full. I have a photo for the Dino quilt. Since it's for my daughter, I'll see if she like the design or would like something else. I did use the dino panel fabric for decoration in May so that was fun.
I'm also doing some cleaning and organizing this summer so we'll see how far I get on the list in the next couple of months. It is nice to be sewing again!! Next post will be at the beginning of July - or sooner - and I'll have photos then!
