End of July! New-FO & Get it Done...

I did OK on my July Goals- 2 out of 3 isn't bad considering I had to quilt Rebekah's Baby quilt 

all by myself and went on a Retreat.

JULY Goals:

1-Get 2 Baby Girl Quilts Quilted and Bound, 1 DONE, 1 Needs Binding

2-Cushions and Pillows for the Porch - Nope

3-Re-Make Stitchin' Heaven Quilt -BLUE -Center is done, needs last borders

Sneak peek at quilting on Baby "Katie's Choice" quilt for Grand-daughter #6, Grandchild #19. Because of limited throat space I had to just meander in the center blocks.  The full "reveal" comes on Friday after the Baby Shower.

                                                       "Somewhere in Time"- Blue version 

 Center all sewn together after I "frogged" one 4-patch and put it the right way.  

I'm so glad there was only one and that I found it while sewing it together.

 27 "Midnight Flight" Blocks

 I found 1- 4-patch turned in one of the blocks I finished at Retreat.

Taking pictures has saved my quilt boo-boos this week.

****For my NewFO, I started the Fair Banner****

 HERE on July 15th so it counts as my NewFO.

This one will be one of  the August Goals for sure!  Only 24 days until I set up at the FAIR

AUGUST 2013 Goals:

1- WW Fair Banner

2- Borders on Somewhere in Time- Blue

3-Make 3 more Blocks and sew together - Midnight Flight, add Border.

4- NON Quilt Related- Make Blessing dress

While I was at the Retreat, DH got my front door and porch painted the 'right' color.

I'll Link up with Judy L HERE and with Cat Patches HERE

Design Wall Monday- July 8, 2013

I woke with the song, "Lazy Mary, Will you get up?" in my head today.  Here it is July and I need to get some quilting ready for the FAIR.  I don't want to start my FAIR project until I get a few more Flimsies (aka:UFO's) ready for quilting. I sewed and sewed this morning to have something to show today.  Last week was a real bust for me- not much sewing happened in the quilt Zone... I did get go Yard Sale/Thrift store shopping and to a couple Baseball games! I'll show all of my new "treasures" on Wednesday.

DH had to make up for working over 70 hours and all day on the 4th of July. 

I was pretty bummed that day to miss the FUN with Family who gathered in Tri-cities.

 I got two more "Midnight Flight" blocks sewn as leader/enders while I made the 

4-patches for the remake of the Stitchin Heaven Quilt. 

 I am still having fun twisting all of the 4-patches. 

I love the look of what I have done so far. [30 Blocks --5 x 6]

 This Pattern is called "Somewhere in Time". It isn't my design. I showed the quilt I made for Deb Lutrell on the BLOG  last week HERE. I like my choice of fabrics MUCH better. 

I only have 6 more alternate blocks to make. That means about 24 more 4-patches to twist.

 I have to take a break from this today and get my Lotto Block done for Quilt Guild tomorrow. 

I am late to Link up HERE today. There are 69 others who are already linked.
