fast finish

yes, only august 2nd and i can cross off another UFO....it's the "chop suey" wall quilt...pattern by steve flanagan seen in quiltmaker sometime in the last 10 years...LOL!  friend marianne had given me those brights and they were really small pieces but oh so pretty....had to use them....and this pattern was ideal.  

it's only about 28" square but colorful....might be able to sell it...and until the cross wall quilt is ready for the hoop, joseph's coat got selected.  this is probably sofa size or a bit larger and is proving easy to quilt but not sure if it'll be done by month's end....i like many quilt styles but traditional reproductions tick all the boxes for me....

the ongoing scrap saga update.....the basket is finally empty but the tote looms....pieces in there were pulled from stash and are smaller than FQs but bigger than small scraps....quilters will understand that...LOL!

first monday in august....bit of housework, some exercise, sewing....that'll round out this beautiful sunny and comfortable day.  it's my birthday month and am simply delighted to have another year,,,blessed indeed!

august one monthly goal

first a bit of housekeeping.....the christmas topper in yesterday's post was made from a pattern by karen schindler bialik...

august is shaping up to be busy with regular PT, usual other stuff, getting acclimated to the cane and packing for vacation....so have chosen a (hopefully) do-able finish....a wall quilt my daughter found on one of our lancaster jaunts....nearly all pieces are cut....

hoping to have it finished by the time i visit for my birthday dinner end of the month....it's 42x56, designer is judit hajdu of quiltfox design.....all fabrics are on hand...no surprise there!  until it's ready to quilt, my joseph's coat is in the hoop.  also have 2 tops to finish for guild, pincushions to stuff, wall quilt to bind, a few more houses/trees.....and so it goes.  have a blessed day and quilty week!
