State quilt is quilted

Quilting along and from the scissors to the edge of the quilt to go.
Run out of bobbin.
Seems to happen more times than I like.
It is now quilted and I just need to get the binding on it to stitch down.
DD figuring out what she wants the label to say.


Small group

Our small quilting group met yesterday.
I had to leave to take DS to the eye doctor, but quilted the rest of the day.
I finished a test keyboard cover and feel good about getting it done.
This is the block leftover from a Fall UFO.
I can't show you the project.

Made my fluffy pillow cover.

Started on the stocking for DS from the pieces from his quilt
I need to make a cuff for his name and fix the back of the stocking (It's backwards)

State quilt is a top

DD and I decided to make it simple on me.
That inner border is the same as Texas.
The outer border is the same as the backing.
I have backing made and am loading the quilt.
If I have time after my small quilt group, I hope to quilt it today.
That would mean I could bind it and be done the end of the weekend.

Good Day

Went to a private yoga class that might help me with my movement.
Then sewed the applique
I really would change the lightness of the states on the outside, but I'm OK with how it is.

I now need to determine what I'm going to do around the outside of the map.
I'm thinking of doing wavy lines of quilting.
But, before that I need some borders

May Projects

I joined in on a number of Challenges to help me focus on my UFOs and such.
I love the accountability and will keep reporting.
I'm putting them all in one post because it's easier to keep track of. 
This is the current status of the projects I've not completed.
This has been a rather strange year with health and motivation issues, but I'm accomplished some things.
Each month I update the list and show what I've accomplished the month before.
Then, it comes off the list as DONE.

 Elm Street OMG April, March, February & January - Lisa T-shirt Quilt

I can't find this in the bin, so I'm thinking it is the NYE Mystery that was drawn by stashbusters.

Scrap Attack - April color is Brown.
This drawer will be used on the map I'm doing for DD's History teacher, so it might as well be sorted at the same time.
The drawer is organized, but the quilt is not yet done.
May Color is Christmas

Color Challenge - April Color is Orange.

May Color is Green.


March #32 - Christmas Stockings -- Dragon for Jon

February #53 - Fall Panel 1

May # 7 - Bread & Butter Flag & Stars

May #39 - Embroidery Blocks
There are so many of these that they will not all be used, but I hope I do a few


It has not been a great year for UFOs, but any that are done or progressing is a good thing.

I've been ill, so it makes it difficult to actually accomplish much.
But, I'm on the mend and can focus for the next 2 weeks.
