July's Lovely Year of Finishes.

-
OK, I know I go overboard, and it states that you only have to do one, so that's what I'm doing, I'm giving in to only one because it's a queen size quilt, and I'm doing tiny, tiny circles of quilting.  You've seen the picture....
Material Girl's Block of the Month Layer Cake.

Here's some of the quilting already quilted and for you to understand the size of the circles:
Section between the blocks and more.

Can you see the circles?

Need to pick the quilted section on the pastel.
This would take a lot of time for me to complete, the entire month for sure....

If I complete that one, I do have another that I would love to complete, it's an Aurifill Quilt with Spools that can download at this site.  Its the feature Designer Brigitte Heitland.  Here's a picture of the one she made:
From the web site January 'sAuribuzz

Mine is twice the size of this one for an end quilt for the bed.    I have cut some of it already and have done two rows but still have a third to complete, as well as put it all together.  This is for the NewFO Challenge 2014 at Cat Patches.

A Lovely Year of Finishes
Now, if I have some extra time I still need to do my 9 blocks for the 9 BOMs I'm participating in, and I have two classes I signed up for at Crafty (http://catpatches.blogspot.ca/p/newfo-challenge.html) , one is painting fabric, and the other is the Pre-Cut Piecing Made Simple by Camille Roskelley, The Crafty Block of the Month 2012 by Amy Gibson (this one is free ladies, and great - I'm on July in this one), or I can start the Pixel Quilt that I've learned to do on Crafty by Caro Sheridan or there's the Pictorial Quilting Technique...or...... (did I say two that I signed up for??!!0  


There it is, my 2 goals for July (and the extras at a blog entry called July is another month to catch up.)

 I’ve been cleaning my sewing office and I have been noticing how any UFOs I have but that’s ok because I’m retiring soon and all of the projects will keep me busy.  The kits are all together except for batting and backing.  So it’s a win win.  But I’m getting an overflow, too much stuff around to the point  that it's overwhelming me.  Like everyone else in the quilting world I can’t resist a new BOM or a bargain so I keep on starting new ones but I’m resisting ladies (hello my name is Nicole and I’m a fabricaholic.).  This past month I’ve been finishing off a lot of quilts (see last couple of blogs) but today I’m showing you one I did this month and another BOM from this year so it doesn’t become a ufo.  Here she be…. End of bed quilt. This pattern is free at Riley Blake Design, on this link.     The squares are 10 and a half in size.  Their pattern did not include the blue line I put in, a 1 1/2 inch fold.  Stitched between the blocks, a 2” piece and the side borders.  It made th

 And I’ve been able to get some painting and sewing in.  I have completed some baby quilts, made some gifts and cleaned my room after my bookcase collapsed.  Yeah you heard right, my IKEA bookcase (with drawers) stretched out and the shelves came tumbling down.  Too many sewing/painting/quilting books and paints in it.  Out with that old and in with a used steamer trunk that I redid.  Final product are the 1st couple of pictures.  Even used wood glue for cracks. Redid with restick wall paper that is waterproof.   All my supplies The crack that I wood glued. The start that took about 2hours. The finish product that has projects in containers, and fabric for sewing clothes.  It worked well. Then I had some things that are just in a tray that I needed to fix.  So I completed these projects that were small and almost done. The container  Pillow case embroidery  Mug rug, hand stitched.  Tea dyed. Look at the stitching or rather quilting. A dress that needed a hem and to fix neckline A very

 With a few UFOs done.  They are Cat Approved. Both of these have gone to the hospital's children's ward. Yes they are identical.  The material was given to me two years ago, with the blocks already done. I just finished it off and binded it. This one is a Joanne's Kit from 5 years ago, before Covid.  The kit contained all the material and the pattern, but some of the material had been changed and that's why the discount.  The kit was $20.  For all the top material.  What a steal!!! Simple quilting in the ditch and some echoing. My husband loves the colors.  Perfect for a guy.  I was going to give this away but the hubby said no, it's perfect for our house, so it's staying. I also did one more quilt for a friend that I gave away last week so now I can put it up here.  It's part of the American Quilt UFO challenge.  I found some of the trees premade and in a box while trying to clean my quilting room. Made a couple more, and started the art drawing. A good si
