Hello everyone, I know once again I fail down the rabbit hole and not doing much piecing here. But I am loving what I am seeing what you Ladies are completing. So, instead of piecing or sewing I've just been hand embroidering and count cross stitching. I started my stamped embroidery and I laid it aside and started the cross stitching. I got one finished, another to the outlining and one more started. So, at this rate I might as well be piecing, well everyone enjoy your summer and try to stay cook

I told him I would just stop cross stitching and it healed. I miss it though.
One tip, don’t drink and cross stitch. It takes hours to figure out the next day when you realize you can’t count drunk. At least I can’t.

Two UFO's for June!
Two for June! The larger quilt is finished and ready to donate to Project Linus. The smaller quilt is a UFO that was given to me in a box of fabric from a marvelous quilter who passed away from a brain condition that resulted in her losing her ability to quilt with this level of skill. I cleaned it up and added the binding so it can be proudly displayed in my sewing room.

Hello everyone, it's getting close for VQW and I am excited for all of you piercers and quilters, it can be a fun weekend for all.
Quilting Raven thank you for that one tip you shared with me. I can't do much wine sipping cause I'm a Type II and my numbers have been kind of crazy high lately.
WMUT those are some real beauties you got finished up there, I can't wait to see what else you finish with
I'll be following UFOers and stay safe--cherrybsixty

Yes, cherrybsixty, the upcoming virtual quilt weekend is a perfect time to dive into our our UFOs and bring one to the finish line. My quilting group has a work day on Saturday and I plan on sandwiching UFOs, 7 of them! My vow is to not make any new quilt tops in the month of July but rather to quilt and bind those I already have. It isn't even July and I am longing to try patterns that I see or use fabric that speaks to me.

Quilting Raven, I just love your quilt pic #191. Your Dad should love it. I also like your comment #194 = drinking and cross stitch counting. LOL.
WMUTeach, such lovely finishes. I’m sure you will think of your friend every time you look at the quilt. Pretty Linus quilt too.

I vowed to do finish 7 UFO's in July. Here is #1. It is a 40 X 40 donation quilt for Project Linus. I needed a bit of motivation, so I chose a small one to start with. One and done, now on to #2!
