End of the Month Progress

I can't believe we are already at the end of February.   I'm so looking forward to March.....I love spring time, tulips, daffodils, daylight savings, I can go on and on.

Here is a recap of what I finished in February:

Stash Bee - February
Pippy Longstocking for Tanya

Liberty & Justice - February
20.5" block for Vickie

Stash Bee - March
Churn Block for Emily (thanks to Emily who posted earlier today what she wanted for March)

Sew South Retreat - House Block



When I was at a retreat a month ago, I worked hard into the night on the #scrappytripalong that went viral on Instagram around the first of January.  This past weekend I finished sewing together the top and it is ready to be quilted.  I've never FMQ such a large quilt (72 x 84) before and I'm planning on sewing straight lines 1/4" from the seams.  This will be on my to do list for April while my husband is away turkey hunting.

Finally, I have a quilt done for 2013.  I'm always amazed at all the blogs that I read and how many quilts each blogger has already finished in 2013.  I guess I need to step it up a bit.

A new month!

I didn't get much accomplished as I had hoped for the month of July.  I have so much on my to do list for August, I have to get busy.

Here are the blocks I accomplished for my four bees that I'm in:

Below are the two quilts that were created out of my blocks that were sent to me from my hive #1 mates from Stash Bee. 

The quilt on the left is before I added additional borders which I forgot to take prior to sending it off to the long arm quilter.  The quilt on the right is ready to be shipped off to a long arm quilter.  Thanks to my mom for making an additional two blocks and piecing it all together for me.  Once I get them back, I'll be sure to take pictures before I send them off to QOV.  Thanks again to my hive mates over at Stash Bee for making the bordered star block for me.

It is still so hot here in Atlanta, so I'm off to my cool basement where my sewing room is to sew on a secret project and watch the Olympics.  Go USA!!

Fresh Sewing Day - June

I had hoped to get more accomplished in June but it just didn't turn out that way.

I know July is going to be a great sewing month for me as the weather here in Atlanta Georgia is HOT.  Today is the 2nd day in a row that we've hit 106 degrees.  Sitting in a cool basement sewing sounds the place for me this month.

So here is what I completed this month:
