June 2026 Challenges

  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 have deconstructed all the clothing.

Now I need to cut out 5" strips and squares.

There are some larger pieces I can use for backing the quilts.

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

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.

Modern Dash

I started this one from a magazine in 2013.

It is finally finished.

This is a project for my senior ladies that I teach twice a month.

The most difficult part is the quilting of it.

This one is the finished sample.

I have two more started and will finish them when the project is done at the class.

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.
