 I finished the quilting on the Seattle Modern Quilt Guild's Block of the Month for 2024 today.  It's off the longarm and ready for the next step to get it finished.

QUILTING SEATTLE BOM 2024

 I finished this top at the end of 2024.  It is the Seattle Modern Quilt Guild's Block of the Month for 2024 called "Like Totally".  Pattern by @imfeelingcrafty.  I had bought a Tula Pink sateen backing fabric for it but am now just getting to quilting it.  I set it up with a wave pantograph using varigated green and white thread.  I got it loaded and started today but didn't finish it.




FINISH #5

 I had made and quilted this quilt in 2022 and then put it away and forgot about it.  It just needed binding to be able to call it finished.  So I did.  "Bears and Pears" is 46" by 33".

It's done, it's Finish #5 of the year.

FINISH #4

 I sewed the binding down on the front of the big Garden Club quilt.  It is done!  

This is Finish #4 for the year.  

Too big to fit on my design wall.

Then I picked out fabrics for the new SeaMQGBOM2026 and made the first set of strip sets.  I need a project box for it all.  Hmmm.



I couldn't decide whether to use the vibrant African fabric or go with the plain brown at first, but decided to be bold, I hope I have enough of that African fabric.

BINDING DAY

 I tackled the binding for the big Garden Club quilt.  It's 88" by 88" which makes it difficult so I decided to do only one side of it today and save my neck, shoulders and arms.  I took my time and didn't overdo it and got done.

Then I went ahead and sewed the binding on the much smaller charm quilt, One Room Schoolhouse which is 32" by 40".  I did both sides and it is done.

This is finish #3 for the year.

OWL AND CACTUS

 I've been working on this 100 Day Stitch Book page since before my trip to Tucson.  I finally finished the beaded eyes today so I could call it done.

It commemorates the Saguaro Cactus, the Great Horned Owl and the Snow Moon which occurred on February 1st, the night I arrived in Tucson.
