Well let's get it over with...
1. Ten wee houses got made...
...for a total of 72 houses! I am really liking the size of this...8 houses by 9 houses. I never had a goal SIZE...so this might be it...OR do I want to make it really big? I will leave it up on the design wall and get a feel for it...and I wouldn't mind sprinkling a few trees here and there....
And some close ups!
I did an all over meander on this one too...and I am so glad I did, as it was a tough one to quilt, what with all the wool applique!
6. More UFO busting....I am currently Big Stitch Quilting Baptist Fans onto my 'Buds in a Basket' quilt...it's set up in our family room right in front of the TV (and the fan) and will be an on going project! Man, I love this quilt!
7. Clam Shells...only two rows got stitched...can you tell that it is my least favourite project?
And this little wool mat by Kathy Cardiff got stitched on our drive to Calgary!! Backing goes on next!
It's funny, at the beginning of each of these 'Goal' Posts I think I don't have much to write about...and then I go and surprise myself! I can actually SEE those UFO biting the dust...which is such a VERY good feeling!
Was it me or did July go by in the blink of an eye? OUCH!! I've got to take time to smell the (wool) roses! haha
Have a Fun Friday and Happy Stitching!~P
Look at what you whizzed through while July was whirling by!
ReplyDeleteI have a collection of 100% cotton striped shirts that I've bought at thrift stores to make a quilt like the second one you shared. Wish me luck!

ReplyDeleteFrom the looks of it, you got a lot accomplished in July, and you were away for two weeks. Now what for August?
ReplyDeleteMan, you get more done in a month than I can only dream of!!! And a wedding thrown in for good measure! Such great projects - love them all.
ReplyDeleteHow do you eat an elephant? One little bite at a time.:) Your little house quilt is looking especially amazing! And of course all your other projects continue to inspire as well.
ReplyDeleteWow! You lots done this month! I am really loving your little houses!
ReplyDeleteyou have certainly been very creative this last month lots of lovely things, especially like the houses, can`t do paper piecing but have found the mystery quilt along with the Painted Quilt blog which are houses done without the paper!
ReplyDeleteWow! Great job Paulette. The two color house quilt is AWESOME! So classic!!
