2014 Totals - May

This month I made a new quilty friend... teaching her how to make a quilt for her granddaughter from baby clothing. 

 

I worked on a pink squares baby quilt along side her to give her confidence and reduce my stash a bit.

It took me quite a bit of time, but I finished my first custom quilt of the year... donkeys!  Lots of stitch-in-ditch and free motion background quilting.  3 more customs to go!

I made progress on my Dancing 9 and it is now a flimsy ready to load on the quilter. I hope my new great niece will love it!

I worked on Cracker Barrel as an L/E ... all of the white triangles are attached. Now I need to cut the blues to sew on the opposite sides.  I'm ready to get back to working on my Celtic Solstice again.

I did some studio cleaning and organizing as well as household organizing with help from my grandson.  Now most of his toys have a place to be :)

Last but not least, I did work on my Spring Wall Hanging and have all the flowers stitched down.  Next.... the leaves! (I thought I had a picture but can't find it right now... will post one later)
