July ALYoF - finish party

I just took MB's top 

off my quilting frame - 

meaning  I have reached my July goal 

for ALYoF!!!

Here is the BEFORE picture

of the top:

It's a free Bonnie Hunter pattern

 "Star Struck"\

and we all took her workshop together

a while back.

Finished version:

Yes, it was a struggle

- with flannel backing and high loft batting -

almost too much for my poor short arm,

but it turned out okay.

Hope to give it on to the next quilting friend

so she can attach the binding

before it will be given back 

to MB's family.

Linking up to the

July - finish party

at Fibers of all Sorts - 

thanks so much for hosting

the monthly challenges!

Design Wall Monday

This summer I am taking it easy

with my blogging.

But: I did get some sewing in

and finished the top

"Garden Path" - 

a quilt kit I had bought earlier.

I am so happy the top is done - 

sometimes I do surprise myself :-)

And then I got ambitious:

I loaded and quilted MB's quilt:

Not quite done yet,

but I'll finish it as my July goal!

What have you been working on?

Happy stitching,

ALYoF: July goal setting

Before it's too late,

I am submitting my July goal for:

My best friend Judy helped me

getting the flannel backing for MB's quilt done,

so now it's ready to get quilted:

So my July goal is

to load and quilt this quilt top.

Then it will be given to 

yet another friend LaVerne for binding 

and it can finally be presented to the family.

Linking up to the July 

goal setting party of ALYOF.

So what's your July sewing goal?

Come and join in - 

and be amazed in your results,

one step at a time!

Happy sewing,

Barb
