Today is my check-in to see how I did on my to-do list last week.
1. Post 3 blog entries. I'm okay if I do more, but this is my minimum. I get a partial credit on this. I got 2 blog entries posted. The 4th of July time with family was more important.
2. Organize quilts under my frame. I store quilts to be quilted under my Forte frame. Right now it's a mess and not in quilting order. So, I am going to get it back in order. Done!
3. Quilt 2 quilts that I have had since the end of February. Both are queen sized, one is using an edge-to-edge design, and the other is custom. The custom one has had me pondering what to do for 4 months. I think I might be getting there, finally. Partial credit. The edge-to-edge was done fairly quickly. The custom one is still on the frame, almost to the half-way point. It will take me a fair part of the week to finish, but it will be finished!
So, here are some pictures: This is of the top right corner of the custom quilt. I used the Mark function on my Pro-stitcher to do the lines of the triangles, then filled with a bubble fill from Wasatch quilting.
Now, down a few rows. The half-square triangles, that make up the parallelogram, are 12 inches. I cannot fit 2 of them together in my throat space. So, I used the same design in each triangle, matching them at the center seam. It doesn't take long to quilt, but it does take time to place each design.
This was a finish for the week as well. The employees at our local quilt shop did a block exchange for Christmas. We each made an extra block, then I made them into a quilt for the store owner's wife. She just recently (couple of years) started working at the store with us, and she is such a delightful person to work with. So, we gave her the quilt on Monday.
Now, a couple of shots of the fireworks we enjoyed on Friday, July 3rd.
Next week's goals (July 7-13):
1. Order more swarovski crystals for a quilt I am embellishing.
2. Finish the Custom quilt on my frame.
3. 3 blog entries. I'm trying again.
