Lots going on in the sewing room this weekend. First off the June One Monthly Goal is finished.
The goal for June was to get the borders on Blooms and Butterflies, then make a back, prep both for quilting, then package them up to ship out for quilting. Done, done, done and done.
That plaid fabric in the backing has been in the stash for about 10 years. It's nice to finally move it out of the stash closet. So I'm 6 for 6 on this year's One Monthly Goal. All the prep work was done last weekend, but with the crazy stuff going on at work, it just didn't get posted last week. You can find more monthly achievements over at Elm Street Quilts.
With Blooms off the design wall, there was room to start laying out the blocks for this month's UFO project.
It took most of Saturday evening to fussy cut the angels for the center of the blocks. Block construction didn't get started until Sunday. Christmas Angels probably won't make it to the finished flimsy stage by the end of the month, but it's definitely further along then when it came out of the project box.

ReplyDeleteThat is going to be a lovely quilt.
ReplyDeleteGlad you finally got a day to sew again, and the washing machine saving you hours. Love the plaid for the backing of your quilt.
ReplyDeleteYEA! Especially the 6 for 6! The angels look interesting. It'll be fun to see how they come together. Keep plugging away!
ReplyDeleteI like the backing for your blooms and butterflies quilt. Good choice - and even better, it was in your stash already. Congratulations on the 6 for 6 on your goals.
ReplyDeleteThe plaid backing is so perfect for your Blooms and Butterflies quilt! Hooray for an almost finish!

Congratulations on your new job! I hope it is a step up since it looks like it is more work. I feel your pain on the laundromat. Since moving here, I have come to despise the local laundry. I guess it's impossible to air condition a place with 20 dryers, but I'm always surprised that it is so hot in there still when there is not one going when I walk in to start my washers. Not to mention it's kind of pricey. Hope you enjoy your new washer and not having to schlep everything to the laundromat.
