Well, it's better late than never! Yep, I'm finally getting a start on a July Book of the Month pattern, with this fetching fabric pull.
I must admit, I spent too many mornings on the internet last week, which really eats into sewing time. And here it is July 31 and I'm just now starting in on a pattern from Strip Savvy (affiliate link) by Kate Henderson.
And me being me, I'm modifying the pattern to a baby quilt size, because there's always a need for those. So without further delay, I'm off to go cut and sew! See you tomorrow.

Block 7 of Alida's Growing Up QAL, over at Alida Tweloq Designs, is a wrap!
Continued in my color scheme of red, white, and blue, this design uses the English paper piecing technique, something I've not tried before. Would I do more of this type of piecing? Only if I were travelling and didn't have a sewing machine around!
But it was good to learn a new skill, which is what the Growing Up QAL is all about. If you want to try new sewing skills, join in!
Have a great weekend!
Six finished t-shirt quilts, all ready to go.
Commissioned back in March, they were started in April with the supplied 'tool' theme fabric. Such a sweet guy - he had his wife buy tool fabric whenever they went on shop hops. She certainly had quite the collection to work with!

Since my sewing machine was in the shop, I thought it the perfect time to finish these up and move them from their resting place of the Innova quilt frame.
Now she's all clean!
Much better, wouldn't you say? But I feel so exposed! Now you can see 70% of the stash - I really must work on trimming that down. For new fabric, of course.
All quilts use a lightweight poly batting, and have stippling on them, with either Glide Military Gold or Glide Cool Grey.
And because I'm running low on my most used thread color, Sand, plus a few others, I decided to place an order at BobbinCentral. Look at these yummy colors that arrived!
I'm well stocked now - just need to find storage space.
So another saga of t-shirt quilts has come to an end, though I'm sure there will be more in my future!
Happy Quilting!
