Postcard from Sweden

some more progress

August flowers

just can’t get enough of the giant flowers!  Winter hardy hibiscus...blooms as big as my hand with outstretched fingers!  I saw some for sale at Lowe’s

Camp Oda May

My top is finished and it’s third in line for quilting. I’d better not start a new project...!

I’ve also added a couple more rows to Postcard from Sweden. I don’t know what difference it would make in the order the HSTs are added, but I’m following the directions as written...it should look like the one above!

What about the border

i don’t have enough fabric for a 3.5” border, so thinking about what to do!  Piano key possibly

Moda Quilt Along, Camp Oda May

Having fun with the Moda Bake Shop quilt along.  Working on the last few rounds, here is what I have so far.  All from scraps, so not everything will match..  the color is off :( need another pic

here are some of the blocks for the last border, 11 per side

more July goals

I did complete the binding on my QOV quilt...

Next I quilted three quilts for Quilts for Kids (QFK), we have a local chapter which is nice since I used to have to send my quilts to Pennsylvania.  I also donated the Baby Gingham quilt, and have two more cut out and ready to sew.

Sewed a couple more rows on my Postcard from Sweden quilt, I am really slow on this one!  And to add to the mix, started the Moda Bakeshop quilt along, Camp Oda May.  It's a medallion quilt, something I've always wanted to make.  Digging through my stash, looking for fabrics, and here is my center...I figure from here I can add almost any color as the borders are added.  I'm behind, but the many participants are making such pretty tops, I just had to jump in.  http://www.modabakeshop.com/tag/choose-your-own-adventure-qal

some July goals

I hesitate to put in writing a goal...what if I don't accomplish it?  At least it will keep me from forgetting what I was going to do!  I did finish a baby quilt, called "3-Hour Baby Gingham" and it did take about 3 hours to piece, but then it sat around for several weeks.  It's cute...

and then I just finished the quilting on the last QOV mystery of Alycia's, just need to put on the binding

Here's hoping for more July progress...
