June Progress Check

Okay, I admit. I haven't updated here in a while, and I haven't made finished anything. I'm still caught up on my Mill Girls quilt, but I'm rather behind on my Bible Studies Blessings quilt blocks. On the other hand, I've been stressed out lately so I've been doing a lot more hand quilting in the evenings to relax, with a nice costume drama or something on Netflix.

Quilts in Progress, as of June 2nd, 2013

1. Teal Single Irish Chain (hand quilting)
2. Champions of the West (blocks finished, but not stitched together- I got creative block when it came to the border)
3. Civil War Sampler "cot" quilt by Karen Witt (haven't finished all the blocks yet)
4. Liberty of Londons sampler quilt (I honestly can't remember where this is in the process, but I definitely haven't got the quilt top finished)
5. Golden's Journal quilt (haven't finished all the blocks yet)
6. Peggy Martin-technique sampler quilt (ditto)
7. Crazy quilt (not your usual crazy quilt, but it is crazy! Quilt top finished, but needs sandwiching/quilting/binding)
8. Roses for Shiloh quilt by Painted Pony 'n Quilts (haven't finished all the blocks yet)
9. Amish with a Twist (haven't finished all the blocks yet)
10. Space left here in case I've forgotten something, kinda like setting an empty chair at dinner for a possible stranger to show up. It's possible as I excavate down through my stash, that I may find more quilts I didn't know about. We are proud members of Old Salem, and one of the side benefits of membership is getting a new tote bag each year. The past few years they've been marvelous gigantic bags, perfect for filling with accumulated projects. A new year, another Old Salem bag with an unfinished quilt!
11. Not quilting, but alter my dirndl to fit my new, smaller, self, and finish the heart-ruching trim for it.
