Here are a couple more finishes for June. Finally done. Was on longarm last night till 10 and up doing binding till 11:30. i still have four more to quilt up. I did set a mini goal for myself for June and that was to finish the hand applique of a 30s BOM I started over a year ago. I am not going to do anymore BOM for a long time. I just don't finish them. I have another BOM that is waiting to be quilted. I think I will do next month so can enter in fair. Anyway, here they are. Will photo the 30s center when done. having trouble with the applique, been doing by hand then did a little by machine and think will finish by hand. [ATTACH=CONFIG]345468[/ATTACH]

Hey Cowboy!
I purchased this fabric 3 years ago and fussy cut the cowgirls. I needed more of the fabric and couldn't find it so I made her a twin instead of a double. It is for a good friend who actually is a cowgirl and loves pink!. I finished it 2 days ago and just got the picture taken last night...so it is my July UFO finished and gifted!

Three finishes for June and one for July.
Here is what I worked on this weekend. i am exhausted. Finishing up the binding on the Civil War quilt. I showed you ladies the layout and I got it quilted Sunday after church. love the wreaths in it. Then the floral applique was Saturday along with the Churn Dash which too six hours to do all that work, and then the chinese lantern one I whipped out in two because did not have hardly any ruler work and I wanted to be done by 6:00. yes that is all I did not Saturday, was more than enough.

Love how each turned out, but will tell you that cross hatch takes some time to get done but once you find your rhythum, can do whole block w/o starting and stopping.

this is what the LA who did the quilt for you said. Also said she'll never do another one like it:-( Guess 30 hours was over the top.
