July's Finish for ALYoF....

I did it...July's goal accomplished!!!

This month has gone by so quickly...

on Tuesday I started my July goal...whew...got it done!!

My July goal was to make a quilt top for my great nephew.

The baby's name was going to be Charles or Cameron...

I already had the medium quatrefoil in navy and

the white background fabric with the letters of the alphabet.

Early in the month I decided to order a FQ bundle

of Riley Blake's mini Quatrefoil for the front.

The FQ bundle had six great colors for a 'boy' quilt.

I had a few designs in mind but kept changing the design.

I wanted it to have a modern feel and keep it simple.

I think we accomplished it...DH played with EQ7 

and this is what we both liked best.

 The quilt back will be the larger navy Quatrefoil.  

The binding will be scrappy, using the 6 different colors.

I'm anxious to quilt and bind it...

but it will have to wait...

We are having family visiting from Canada for the weekend,

so the quilting and binding will get done in August.

A Lovely Year of Finishes July goal setting party...

I'll be working on a baby quilt this month...

using the navy and white fabric. 

The white fabric has little letters...I think it will be perfect for a baby quilt.

I'm thinking of adding a touch of lime...

My July goal is to have the top finished...but I sure would like

to have it quilted and bound too....Baby C is due next week!!

I will fit as much sewing as I can into the month of July...

it will be a busy one.

...on another note...

I am working frantically on getting the house on the market!!

I just want to get back to Canada...get this move behind us

...we had another major set back...more on that in another post.

I'm having therapy every day this month...sewing therapy.

I have samples to make for a class I am teaching on July 26

at Washtenaw Community College in Ann Arbor Michigan. 

GAAQG is having their 3 day Quilt University

(there are still classes with openings)

I have the table favors to finish...for the Saturday dinner 

and trunk show with Susan Clevelend.

Forty five are finished 15 to go.

They are roll up bags large enough to hold 8 spools of Aurfil threads.

Every year the guild members make a quilt that will be won by 

one of the volunteers of GAAQG...the more you volunteer

the more chances you have to win.

They will have it on display at Quilt University July 24, 25 and 26th. 

The piecing of the top is almost finished and there is the back to piece yet.

Soon it will be in my hands...to quilt and bind it.

A busy month for sure!!!
