I've had a good bit of quilty progress this month.
Finished this 70" lap quilt for a friend. She paid for the fabric and made a sizable donation (equivalent to the time I spent) to a charity of my choice. We were both very happy with this plan.
In the end, I only quilted flowers into those center squares and outlined the other boxes. That kept the quilt super soft with the 50/50 Bamboo Cotton batting. I haven't been able to find bamboo batting locally for years, but recently discovered I could order this on-line JoAnn's at a discount.
Those greens really change according to the light so I call this quilt "Yellow" since that's what the recipient saw every time I sent photos.
My Boomer quilt copped an attitude.
But behaved by the end of the day.
A Day of the Dead quilt for my buddy Boomer, a retired clown.
I have the fabrics purchased for my next project. Which is actually a pair of quilts as a belated wedding gift for my daughter and son-in-law. They got married in the midst of the pandemic and are planning a family gathering on the 1 year anniversary.
The theme is Enchanted Forest. I am allowed to share sneak peeks. This is a raspberry that I designed which will be part of a center motif. I am super excited about this project which will involve a lot of big, stylized leaves.
My other accomplishment of the month was a 6 inch "Healing Heart" square that will become part of a quilt for a quilt designer who's daughter recently passed away.
Also, I sewed a shirt for myself.
Stretch lace panel on the back to show off the tattoo that I got in 2020.
Now that I have a replacement surger, I better start sewing up the tubs of clothing fabrics I've bought for myself.
