WIP Wednesday 7.7.21

Life has been busy for another week.  I did get to work on a few quilty things.  I made the two purple blocks for my GO! ABC quilt.  This is a free pattern available on the Accuquilt site.

The beginning of the week my garden looked like this with all these weeds between the plants.

Today I tilled between the tomatoes and other plants.  Whew... the weeds are under control again!

I finished the quilting and trimmed the Owl's Well That Ends Well quilt.  I don't have a specific person in mind for this quilt.  When it is finished it will go on the gift pile.  A pink binding would look great on it, but I think it would make it too girly.  I'd like to keep this quilt gender neutral.  I will probably go with a light orange.  I didn't find enough bright green for a binding.  I don't have enough of the dot fabric on the border for a binding either.  And yes, I do have a 6' trampoline in the quilt room.

I quilted it with the Circle Lord Clam Shells giant template board.  

Someone is getting excited about going camping and taking the RV for a spin.  He's been helping his dad every night this week to "work" on it.  I'm still wondering what sewing project I will pack this year.

I now stand at 54 projects on my WIP list.
