Having Fun

This is the wreath for DD for June.

A cute tulle watermelon.

I'm also working on a Paper Piecing Test block.

Since I can't show you the block, I'll show you the trimmings. 😁 

There are 3 parts and I have one done.

I don't have photos of the other block I'm doing.

Here is the completed What I like about You Quilt.

Design Wall Monday

I'm linking to Small Quilts Doll Quilt's Design Wall Monday and Monday Makings.

What do I have here? 

On the far left are 9 patch pieces that I want to sew together for a "row" and use up some of my leftovers.

The center blocks are the log cabin blocks from my January retreat.

One of the panels from the wolf quilt that I need to work on.

The Simple Pleasures table runner on the far right.

 
This mess is the pieces for the Lightening quilt.
I need to find some more large pieces in the color pallet "Shenandoah Mountains" Quilt.
It's scrappy and takes large pieces. I'm finding I don't have that many in my scrap bins.
That green container is holding pieces for things I've been working on.

I just realized that I didn't show you a finished photo of the last Charlotte Angotti Quilt.

What I Like About You

It is quilted.

I had some trouble with the machine and need to do some troubleshooting.

But, I completed the quilting.

Now to bind it.

That negated my buy.

I needed a gray for a test quilt I'm doing and while I was at it, I bought some backing fabric.

I made some placemats.

These were UFOs

I made some postcards 

I crocheted on an afghan

Quilting is more fun than Housework has us working on scraps.

I made postcards from the scrap drawers

I made a few test blocks for a test quilt.

I can't show you them until they are released.

I continued cutting from my scrap drawer for this quilt.

I think I need 20 more pieces of the long strip.

I am having some trouble finding scraps that big

Flower placemats

These are more of the Meme's Garden Flower placemats

They are one of my UFOs from Houston Quilt Festival last year.

This is my May OMG.
