Busy Sewing Room and Weekly Goals

      About the only thing I did outside in the garden was water.  Sunday we finally had a shower.  Not enough but it helps.  I am expecting house guests and spent extra time cleaning.  I had fun in my sewing room last week. Even though I did not accomplish all the goals I had, I feel like I got a lot done. 

This is how I did on last week's quilting goals: 

1. Finish quilting the charity quilt. - Done. Another member of my 

        church quilt group enjoys sewing bindings on so I don't need to.

2. Add quilting to “Celtic Fantasy” - Not Done. 

    Instead, I cut squares for a pieced border on my March Block a 

     Day quilt top and got the 2 side borders sewn on.

      I also started working on a special quilt for the Modern Quilt Guild's QuiltCon 2024 fabric challenge. I received a fat eight bundle of fabric by Windham and bought another 2 yards of the white/aqua to use as my background. Only these fabrics can be used on the front of the quilt. It is total improvisation and only units are pieced so far. 

      A friend who loves gnomes celebrated her 80^th birthday Sunday. These are the cute designs I appliqued onto kitchen towels for her. You can find the free designs here.
