Quilt Drives & Day Trips

 A friend of mines church has been hosting a conference theses last three days,the binding on the blue quilt is nearing the end, I've  gotten  most of the pep work done on the remaining aprons to be sewn,the upcoming week will be a busy one so I'm hoping to get in as much sewing time as I can Monday

Quilting Is Better Than House Work is hosting another quilt block drive, I've enjoyed participating in a few in the last few years there is no limit to how many to make but there are guidelines of style,sizes & col

I'm joining in the ready for not Friday,be sure to go by & see what all everyone's sharing what they're. working on finished or not! I am so close to the finish line on the blue rail fence,another name for it is take 5 ,blocks consisting of 5 strips,only one side to go sewing down the binding! 

Random Thoughts For My Quilt Tops

 I pulled out the quilt tops in hopes to make some decisions & get them quilted ,how many more will I add to the collection before that happens 🤷 the red/white with stars ,I know that I want to increase it to a full size,as it stands now,it measures 50 X 60.5 Im thinking maybe a flying geese border or would that take away from the stars & look too busy🤷 any suggestions?

The Christmas top is width of fabric strips measuring out to 41 X 56,not sure if itd look better to leave it as an over sized lap or bring it up to a full,I have plenty of these fabrics left for decisions

the scrappy was originally thought out for a lap size,backing in the border green is cut & hanging with it, but I cant decide whether to leave it at  47 X 50 & add more borders,maybe add another scrappy border?🤷there's actually enough fabrics to make a matching one 

the teal is a test run on a new pattern that I used from 3 yard quilts for a contest I entered last year,it presently measures 55 X 63 I actually have enough fabrics from this one to create 1 -2 more which I thought about doing & pulling in contrasting colors

I'm trying to push through my stash or should say stashes 😄& have some random thoughts as to what to do with most of them,that's a thought for another day,Im down to 1 & 1/2 rows of sewing the binding down on the blue quilt,whoo hoo!

1 Of 4 Aprons Done

 Can you believe we've got more rain coming🙆 I'm working in 30 min spurts in the sewing room today ,working around the house & getting some things planted outside & when I get pooped out I'll watch a movie while stitching on the binding on the blue quilt 😄

A Little Binding Here & There

 Its been a slow paced day,I usually get a walk in first thing in the morning but this morning it was lightning so that walking was out but I did get one in with my neighbor this evening,I worked on getting a few aprons cut out & ties & neck bands made,working on sewing the binding down on the blue take 5 quilt

the first zinnia bloomed today

simple continued into lunch with a grilled bunless burger with quest ranch chips ,I will continue to work on sewing the binding on the blue quilt till I get ready for bed

I Thought I Had Another Day LoL

 I was determined to get the binding finished on 2 quilts only to realize today wasn't the 31st bit June the 1st already 😄so Happy June!

So that left May with one finish 

June however does hold big plans ,aprons & pillow covers for the Summer season, more scrap busting on those scraps, pieces that are too small for the scrappy blocks I've been working on may get turned into title houses ,more ideas as I go along, Grace & I did get a day at the park in
