1st -
Finishing my row-by-row quilt. The top is complete for this, next steps include the following:
-- piece backing (pulled), layer and quilt it
-- bind it
-- turn it in somewhere.
2nd -
I have three blocks I need to get for made for this years F2F swap. July's color inspiration is this collection of blue & white vases. The recipient has requested - blue and whites, with the blues ranging from Navy to cobalt to light blues. Have two patterns in mind, just need to pull fabrics from stash for them and decide on a third pattern.
3rd -
Get the sample block made for my August BOM (already designed). Just need to pull fabrics and make the block.
4th-
A secret project that will be revealed in September during the "My Happy Place" blog hop hosted by Marian.
-- this is fused. Next step is to layer and quilt it and then bind. Followed by finishing the pattern for it so that I'm ready for the row hop.
5th -Figure out how to best us this strip of squares left after cutting out the blocks I needed for the dance floor of one of the rows for the row-by-row quilt. There were actually two strips but I sewed them together along the straight edges.
And then through all of this I need to continue to make progress in getting stuff done around the house so that I can get my quilt frame set up - hopefully this week sometime!
Gratitudes:
1. For having gotten my rental deposit back from the last place I lived.....I've needed it since payday is almost 10 days late.
2. For a "cooling" trend here in N. TX - only supposed to be "99" instead of the 114 it was on Saturday!
