I finished hand sewing about 3/4 of the binding for this quilt. It is part of the block exchange at the Blue Earth Valley Quilters. There were 12 of us in this. Next week we all get together and show each other what became of the 24 blocks we received. I'm looking forward to seeing all the different takes on the blocks.
These are April Block Lotto blocks I won! This will be the gift for the wedding we attended last month. It needs a border yet. A blue is my first choice, then it will kind of go with the wedding colors....or I may spot a green that I like...
It is already late, so I'm taking my time.
These are MORE block lotto blocks I won last year. This one has gone through many ideas before I finally committed to setting it with the black and white sashing. It is all sewn together and can go to the quilter as soon as I figure out the backing.
Still plugging away on the Tula Pink project.
Crap this picture is sideways.
I made the HST's two at a time. So I these last two blocks are the same, only different.
I would never have done these blocks at all. Never even bought the book. But I joined the small Tula Pink group and once I start making the blocks I find they are addicting and make a bunch at once. We make 8 a month. I am caught up to the August set of blocks.
We went camping again. One activity was going to the studio in Spirit Lake to do a painting. This one was hard. My least favorite of all the paintings I have done. I was the only one to add the people to the boat.
They look a little scary.
A ton of coaster were made while camping. We used stickers, magazine pictures, photos, or just paint.
The last thing to show is the blocks for June at Block Lotto. These are harder than they look. As Sophie says,
"we strive for perfection, but it isn't a requirement"
or something like that.
Thank goodness.
The sneak peek was sent out earlier this week. After I finish the binding on my block exchange quilt, I will be working on the July block.
