FINISH #13

 I found this little quilt in my bucket of UFOs.  I'm not sure who made it.  I know I didn't.  So, I'm going to assume that my sister Sue did.   It was quilted already, all it needed was binding.  So, I made some black bias binding and sewed it on.  So it's done.  That was easy!

It is finish #13 of the year.  It is called Pinwheels and is 35" by 35".  It will get donated.



FIRST BATCH OF PICKLES

 I made 5 quarts of pickles this morning.  It's the first batch of the year.

LONG LINE OF NAMES

 I've been working on putting a black border around the name labels that the members of the Monday Sewcial Collab quilt made for the back of the quilt.

ROSES AND ARROWS QUILT DONE

 Here is July's quilt for the UFO Challenge with Quilting Mayhem.

It is called Roses and Arrows after the charm pack of 42 5" squares it was made from, along with some light grey to make half square triangle blocks.

I made the bias binding from the same grey and got it sewed onto the little 32" by 40" quilt today.

It is FINISH #12 for the year!

COLLAB QUILT TOP TOGETHER

 I put the last seam in on the BP-Monday Sewcial Collab quilt top.  It went together very easily.  I had checked each block for size when they arrived and almost all were right on.  I did make some minor adjustments to a few, which made the final sewing together a breeze.

QUILTED NEXT UFO

 I got the July UFO Challenge quilted today.

The longarm had a  glitch after the first run and froze up.  I had to close the app, which lost the program.  But, after a bit of fiddling I was able to reprogram it and get it lined up accurately and going again.  I used an allover pantograph.

This is not the first time the app has done that.  It is very annoying.  But I am getting better at restoring a lost program and lining it up.  But, I should probably look into why this is happening and make my life easier.
