Another finished small banner for my sideboard. True, it was after 4th of July, but it’s still July & my goal of a new one every month has changed to one every other month this year & then I’ll fill in the other months next year. It’s all good.
This was my big goal for this week: getting the top done for my auction quilt & getting it to the quilter. Done! I really power-sewed to get it all done, but I had it ready when I got the text that my others were done so I could pick up & drop off. This turned out really well, so I hope it makes some money for Primary Children’s Medical Center in December.
Now for some purple sewing! Got my Scrap Stash Plus blocks from Quilty Love done & there are only aqua & teal left from the jelly roll I cut up in January, so hopefully that’s the August color. Then I can put one of this year’s projects together. I also got my Strippy Slab Star made & again this month, I made some string blocks for future donation while I had the string bin out.
Oh, I love your quilt (top) for Festival of Trees! I haven’t been in decades (Bruce must avoid crowds), but I’ve always had a soft spot for (and been a donor to) Primary Children’s Hospital. They saved my daughter’s life when she was a newborn. She’s 39 and a nurse now…
Your quilt for donation is gorgeous! What a lot of work to create such a beauty. I should think it would fetch a healthy sum for the hospital.
I’ve had my eye on a + quilt for a while. I like the chunky pluses in the pattern you’ve chosen. One of these days….
That is a sweet banner for July! I’ve been trying to do one a month for my own display and have gotten a bit behind, too – every other month sounds like a good plan. You’ve got a beautiful quilt there for the auction, too. And pretty purple blocks – you’ve been busy!
It’s a free pattern from Quilty Love. Just sayin’…….. 🙂
Thank you! I do one every year & they’ve always been bid up at auction, so we like it. We do it in memory of my husband’s brother who died in the line of duty. We chose PCMC because his daughter & my son received care there.
