Totals for June 2014

This birdhouse quilt for a customer was my custom quilt this month... made by the sister of the donkey quiltmaker.  This was a bit quicker finish than last month's donkeys...  I guess the more of these types of quilts I do the easier and quicker they finish.  There was some stitch-in-ditch (SID), outlining of shapes and then a small stipple meander for background fill-in.  

I have three more custom quilts to work on this summer... the third one being another donkey quilt!  The two sisters make the same pattern together (although one is a bit faster at completing than the other).  I won't be getting the second birdhouse quilt though... she decided to make one block at a time and quilted it on her DSM before assembling into a quilt.  Not to fear... they have other projects in the making for me to quilt for them!

My dancing 9patch for my great niece is now quilted and bound and ready for delivery.
I quilted and bound the pink squares babyquilt that I started to sew along with Peggy while she made her first quilt for her granddaughter.
I pulled out 6 red/blue placemats I made last fall and got the binding done on them.  
I also pulled out a quilt-as-you-go tablerunner kit that I purchased at an FCE craft camp and stitched and bound that.  I'd never done quilt as you go before.  It's a good option for those that don't have a longarm... but I prefer to quilt on my longarm :)

I am working on organizing a bunch of UFOs to take on vacation in hopes of completing at least a few of them.  I think I've found 10 so far! 

After vacation I'll get back to working on my Celtic Solstice and I think I may use Talkin Turkey as a leader/ender for that one.  Hopefully I'll get at least one of them assembled into a flimsy before Bonnie's next mystery in November.
