July OMG (One Monthly Goal) end of month report

Well, here we are at the end of another month. . . .it seems like there was no time for much this month. . . .but I did get some finished items. . . . just not what I had thought I would get done.


First, I must apologize, there are no pictures as of this moment.  I can't find the camera, again and some of the pictures are on the iPad, which I cannot access at the moment.


So, you will need to come back to this post tomorrow to see the items I am writing about.


First up, things that I have completed:


Car Diddy Bag




This is from a tutorial that was on SewCanShe.  It was the first time that I have ever done a welted zipper. . . and while it is not perfect I am pretty proud of it.


It took me about 3 1/2 hours to complete and was a time test for a Facebook group that I am part of.


Hanging Storage Basket




Another tutorial from SewCanShe.  I was not able to find the chalkboard fabric so I left that part out.  It took about 2 hours for me to do, and yes, it was another time test for a Facebook group.


I love the floral fabric that I used. . .but with other things that I worked on this month most of it is gone.  But that is a good thing since I am trying to downsize.


Block Swap blocks







In another Facebook group we are doing a 12" Churn Dash swap.  I completed 4 blocks. . .2 for one person and 2 for another.


Crumb Blocks




Ok, this was to be my OMG goal for July. . . . .and while I did get more done I did not get all 42 blocks that I need completed.  I have blocks in the works and have added to the completed blocks.


Empty the scrap basket




Well, with the cutting that I have been doing I have actually been adding more than I have been using!  But, adding fabrics from what I have been cutting will bring a little more variety into my blocks.


Polaroid block swap


On yet another Facebook group I am in a swap for Polaroid blocks so I have been hunting through my stash to find fabrics to fussy cut.


So, there you have it, I have been accomplishing quite a bit. . .  .just not what I had planned.


Go visit Elm Street quilts (this site takes you to the linky party for the finishes everyone is posting) to see what else has been accomplished this week.


In peace and pieces,


Sherry

Fun blocks that I just made



I think that I have mentioned that I am taking part in the Stash Bee for this year.


Each month there is a different block to make for a person in my "hive".  Some of the blocks have been easier for me than others. . . .but each one has been completed within the month that it was due so that is good.


For July we were given the task to make "Polaroid" blocks for a quilt for a baby boy.


Here are the blocks that I made:


I had to dig through one of my fabric bins to find prints that had small enough figures for the center squares. . . they are only 2 1/2" square.


These were fun to make. . . but I do not think that I have enough "eye spy" type fabrics to make any size quilt.


But, making these blocks has given me some ideas of what to do with the other conversation prints that I have in my stash.


In peace and pieces,


Sherry
