WIP Wednesday 6.18.18 -- The one with a midweek finish!

This week I have a midweek finish instead of a Friday finish!  I finished this customer 4-patch quilt today!  One more customer quilt this week and I hope to be free from quilting commitments except for a high-school student that wants to learn to use my longarm...

Here's that 4-patch finish:


I quilted it with my Circle Lord giant template board called Swirls.


It is backed with a floral sheet.  Here it is on the line with the sun shining through.  It has been raining more than usual here in Ohio.  No nice, sunny, out in the open clothesline pics for this quilt.


In other news this week (or past two weeks...)

We have a 12-year old in the HOUSE!  You can read about the 50% off deal that I got on his cake.


I'm still working on the May color of the month for the RSC19 -- orange...


I spent some unwanted time UNSEWING the longarm stitches on this customer quilt.  Luckily it is rainy and cool outside.  We have had a lot of rain in Ohio for this time of year.  This will be my next quilt on the frame--hopefully.


I made this block for the Block Lotto -- only one so far this month...  It is a paper-pieced block.


I continue to work on my slow-stitching project in areas where I have to wait on something.  Unfortunately my sister-in-law grabbed my bag by mistake and she has it at her house for the week.  I'm sure it's safe.  She's not interesting in sewing.

Wow Kathy that's a lot of projects in the lineup. I think if I listed all mine I would feel overwhelmed...but maybe the list keeps you motivated. Congrats to your 12 year old and I love the circles you quilted on the four patch.
