UNCLE DON'S BIRTHDAY

Uncle Don turned 90 this year.  The family got together at his home for a celebration.

TEN AND ELEVEN

Here are City Sampler Blocks 10 and 11...

TWO MORE FMQ BLOCKS

OFF THE MACHINE

I finished the customer quilt.  I had to wash it, because that blue pounce chalk wouldn't come out.  

I loaded the Free Motion Quilting Challenge quilt back on and did another block.

AND MORE BLOCKS

More City Blocks:

SOLID OF THE MONTH

Here's the third month of Solids of the Month.  So much fun!

This month was a lot of lighter colors.

WORKING

 I got some more work done:

Before...

AND MORE

A few more of Tula's City Sampler Blocks:

THREE MORE

I got tired of paper-piecing.

Here are three more of the 100 City Blocks.

And I'm still asking myself, "Am I really doing this?"

AM I REALLY DOING THIS?

GnomeAngel said she was starting up another round of a Quilt-Along doing Tula Pink's City Sampler 100 Blocks in 100 Days soon.  But, it's been postponed until July, but I was all wound up to start now, so I did.

 

Might as well start at the beginning...

MASKED

I'm still making Candy Cats.  I think I'm up to a dozen.

FIRST PAID QUILT JOB

I've been working on a customer's quilt.  

I pieced the back together out of fabric they provided.

I am supplying the batting.

I was surprised at how challenging this would be.  But, I'm doing my best.

I drew this design onto paper, then perforated it with my threadless sewing machine.  I'm using a pounce to mark the block, but rubbing it over my homemade stencil.
