Other finishes

 

This was a block-of-the-month, and I only had these, so I made it into a table runner.

This little kit had lots of problems.
There wasn't enough fabric to do what they wanted, so it was modified.

This little bright teen quilt was fun to do an improv design.

May 2026 Challenge

   2026 should be a better year for completions. 

I have a lot of memory projects I REALLY want to finish this year.

My 2026 List is:

1. Donna's Memory Quilts (4) 

 

The first top is done. Does it need to be bigger, or do borders need to be added?

I did deconstruct some clothing and have others that need to be taken apart.

2. Lillian's Memory Bears (10)
I have one started.
I need to take a few days and make them in an assembly line.
The stuffing will be the challenge.
I've sewn a little, but without much focus.

3. Ashley High School Graduation Quilt
I have the shirts sorted and cut apart.
I need to finish this quickly.

4. Memory items from Randy's clothing
4a. Memory Quilt - AMF
4b. Memory Pillow - JMS
My son didn't want anything else from Randy's clothing.
4d. Memory quilt - MJF
4e. Memory Quilt - JJF

COMPLETED Quilts

4c. Memory reading pillow - WRS

Goal: Finish at least one Stashbuster UFO a month.

Modern Dash

I finished the binding on Modern Dash.
I had a hard time deciding what to quilt on this one.
I ended up using straight lines.
It was difficult to take a photo because it's so large.
Another UFO finished.
