Quilt Room Challenge June

During June I finished Marcia's quilt (pink and brown quilt pictured on bed). When we bought those quilt kits we each got one. My quilt top is finished and is on the quilting machine. It's about half done so I'm calling it good to show for the month of June. I also made the fall version of the little alphabet sampler...very cute. I actually put my Pfaff machine away which was no small feat as it goes in the closet that's in the corner behind the chair with everything piled in front of it.


Here is the quilt I made for Jo Morton for the June meeting. Very cute and versatile. I think the colors will work for a number of different seasons and holidays. It's looking good for the 4th of July!


This is kind of cheating posting this photo as this quilt was not made during June. However, it is the quilt that I am giving to Ben's friend Stu so I thought I would show you a picture of it. It's a nice "guy" quilt.


I'm working away like crazy on several more things. I seem to have alot of hand projects in the works. Check back next month and see where I'm at with everything.

Quilt Room Challenge - Month 1



I have a couple of projects in the works that you'll have to wait and
see next month. Here is what I was able to make and
 "clean" out of the sewing room this month.



I made three Little Twister table toppers, the darling
 alphabet sampler and one Jo Morton Quilt.


I quilted three charity quilts for Project Linus.


And I put away a new pair of shoes (very cute aren't they) and a box of Barbie Doll things that for some unknown reason got pulled out from under the bed.

Sewing Room Challenge or No This is not a New Episode of Hoarders

I really am not hoarding anything; I just have a lot of great projects in the works. Here is the challenge: no projects in this room can be packed away or moved to another storage spot (of which there are several). All of these projects need to be completed in order to be moved. This room has to get cleaned up so the sewing machine has to heat up. Check back on the first of each month over the summer to see the progress I'm making.

Ali's Quilt


Ali's graduation quilt is all done. The picture isn't too different from the first one I posted, but I took a close up of the center medallion so that you can see the quilting on it. I'm very happy with the flower motif as it matches with the white on white fabric in the center.
