My butterfly quilt is still not changed.
I do have the pattern I changed to, so this UFO is not what it was going to be.

I'm preparing for vacation, so I'm unsure how the next two weeks will look.
I do have a quilt I want to bind on the trip, and I have some hand sewing that will make things easy to finish when I get home.
But August will probably be another light month.

This quilt does not want to be quilted.
I wanted to quilt it but had no energy after the show.
Then, when I did start, my thread kept breaking.
Why? Who knows.
I changed to a different needle brand, and the breaking thread stopped.
Then, after that, it was quilting fine until a bobbin change.
The machine felt heavy, and that's the only way to describe it.
Did I stop and check it out? Nooooo.
When I rolled the quilt, there was eye-lashing everywhere.
So, I changed the bobbin case and re-calibrated it.
I finished quilting the quilt and went back to unstitch the last bobbin change.
It was easy because the stitching was so loose.
This is how much thread I took out.
I have a wide space to re-quilt.
The holes are still visible in this fabric, so I should be able to recreate what I'd quilted.
I want to take this on the trip so I can bind it.
Hope I can make it happen.
The funny thing is I seem to like these two browns paired with black.
I was doing my yoga class and turned towards my bed, and this is what I saw.
Notice anything similar?
Yep, exactly the same two browns with different black prints.
I must like the combination. LOL

My to-do-list for 2024
It's been a slow month for completions.
The NBAQG QuiltFest took up most of my time.
1. Donna's memory quilt or two, depending on how it goes together.
3. I'd like to make some memory teddy bears from Rob, Lillian, and Donna's leftovers.
5. Ashley's High School Graduation Quilt
All the T-shirts are deconstructed.
9. At least one of the Stashbuster UFO numbers each month (12/24 in the year)
Finished 7/14 (50%)
March #2 5-Pocket Pouches
I'm using these as leaders/enders to prepare all the pockets, and then I'll put them all together at once.
My APQ quilts are all off the numbering system since I've finished 8 of them already this year.
Un-Finished 7/14 (50%)
