July was a fast month for me. I'm not sure where it went. I did a little quilting, some piecing, a bunch of embroidery...and a lot of yard work.
My quilting UFO was Shop Hop Fantasy. it was a fun one.
I also quilted the wool applique flower baskets. This were hand stitched over several months when I visited my sister.
I did more piecing than anything this month....as usual.
This is called Birds of a Feather. I found it in a magazine and it was a good one to use up those bright pieces of fabrics.
I call this one crazy flowers. I had a floral fabric that was bright and cheerful that I wasn't sure how to use, so this is what happened to it.
This is black and white 4 patches with yellow flowers fused in the middle of the 4 patches. just something to use up some b/w fabrics. the flowers were cut with the Accucut machine.
This alphabet top was made from felt finger puppets that my sister gave me. she also gave me the purple fabrics that i used as the backgrounds. she was de-stashing. haha
I found this in a book by Debbie Fields called Wilderness Quilts for kids. She had larger applique bugs, but i embroidered mine.
My embroidery UFO was Rodeo....and I got the blocks finished this month. it will be for my son when it gets put together and quilted.
My other embroidery project for the month was Laurel Burch Dogs. i really like her stuff. Here are a few of them. I named this one after our dog.
Indigo and Charlotte. I used two different browns for the backgrounds, so your eyes are not playing tricks on you.
Papillon and Poppy. these must be show dogs...they are fancy.
Vanessa and Kona
Now I am ready to see what August has in store for me.

I could have had one more quilted, but i procrastinated. i only lack one little space to quilt..about a square foot....maybe tomorrow....haha.

You really did a lot in July. If you did mostly yard work then you must have done a lot of it.
I love the birds and wool applique'. I would love a closer look at Shop Hop Fantasy. I love it!
