June UFOs Done!

Hi blog friends!
I got all my UFOs done for June and I am so happy!
First is my second section for a cute Halloween wall hanging I am making.
Cute huh?

Then, I finished my pinwheels for a 30s BOM I am signed up for at Sager Creek Quilt Shop.
The butterflies are for a Row-By-Row sew along from Lori Holt from Bees in My Bonnet blog  
So, now I am ready to list my UFOs for July!

Ok, this month I will be working on these 3 projects.
First is making a full row of the butterfly blocks for Row by Row from Lori Holts blog.

Second, I will make my block for the BOM club from Sager Creek Quilts.
Loving this one too! 


And the 3rd is to finish another row for my fun Halloween wall hanging.
I absolutely love this one too!

May UFOs Done!


This is Tea Time blocks all sashed and ready to quilt. This was a real challange since none of the blocks were the same size. Lots of cutting an piecing. My beautiful friend Lovina Payton gave me these blocks a secret pal gift several years ago.


These are my embroidered Halloween blocks ready to be put together.


And this is my Strawberry Fields Forever quilt all nice and bound!

So once again, I finished 3 UFO committments for May.
I have 3 ready to go for June!

MAY UFOs TO BE COMPLETED......Hopefully!

Ok! Ready set, GO!!
These are the 3 UFOs I want to work on this month.
First is the sashing & borders for my Tea for Two blocks. I would like to get this quilt top done.

Second is to bind my Strawberry Fields Forever quilt. It's been a UFO way too long


and my 3rd UFO is my embroidered Halloween Blocks. I want to get them all cut to size and ready to add borders. Or at the very least get all the fabric cut for the blocks around the border.

Wish me luck! It's a tall order for me because I have a lot going on. No different from anyone else huh?
LOL!

APRIL UFOs DONE! WOOHOO!!!

Little Susan is done completely and so is Antique Toy Sewing Machines! I also picked my fabrics for my Tea for Two quilt top. Pictures may not be in order but they are here! 
I really enjoyed quilting these myself. I have been broadening my free motion quilting and am no longer as scared as I was. They are so right when they say practice, practice, practice.



I will be using the blue for sashing and borders. The pink will be used as a accent border.

April UFOs

I am going to put my embroidered antique sewing machine blocks together. I embroidered the blocks years ago. Would love to have this completely done by months end but not sure how my surgery will go.
This next UFO is was a gift of blocks from my secret pal several years ago. I have no idea where she got them nor who made them. My secret pal was Lovina Payton. Wonderful lady.
I want to pick the fabric to sash with and the borders.
The 3rd UFO is four blocks I embroidered called Little Susan. I got the pattern from one of the quilt books a couple of years ago. I learned a valuable lesson with these blocks. You use crayons to color them with then embroider the blocks. I did it in reverse and I discovered I couldn't get up close to the lines. Live and learn. Still came out really cute. I want to have this little 36" X 36" table topper quilted.

That's plenty on my plate for April!
Let's see how well I do....

MARCH UFOs DONE!

I finished putting my Little Susan wall hanging. Just needs to be quilted. I think it is adorable. I learned a valuable lesson with this little wall hanging. When using crayons to color in the embroidery work, it has to be done before I embroider otherwise you can't color up to the lines!



This is Hanks birthday Family Album Quilt. I was so happy with the way it turned out as well.
He loved it.

I also finished my Blanket of Flowers quilt. It is quilted and bound and entered in a local quilt show and I forgot to take a picture of it completely finished. It is beautiful but you will have to just take my word for it till I get it back mid April when I will post a picture.
