The first thing I will be working on this week is glue basting down all the applique on Michigan. Below is one section complete. This will be an ongoing project for quite awhile, all the hand applique still needs to be done.

Next up will be work on my August UFO, Midnight Dreams. Pieces are cut and will go with me to my sewing group tomorrow night. Hope to get blocks completed and quilt finished up this week.

On the longarm this week is another quilt from the past, Seven Sisters. The top was finished in 2013 from a class taken at Road to California, taught by Marfi Michell. I am slowly getting caught up on all my own quilts this year. Next up will be a holiday quilt for Sandi.

Sunday Stash Report

It has been a rainy weekend here in Scottsdale, with thunder, lightning, wind and almost 3" of much needed rain.  A lot of flooding in the area, but nothing near where I live. I am looking forward to sunny days starting tomorrow. 

Two small finsih this week, Pumpking Trio and the September Calendar Quilt.

August and October are in the works and hope to be completed with both this week.

Added to the stash this week, was this Libery Box from Fat Quarter Shop. This is the second box that I have purchased from them. The first was a Valentines box back in February. I have been happy with both boxes and both small projects that come with it.

 Only a small finish this week, not a quilt, but a pair of pajama pants. This was purchased many years ago at the San Diego Quilt Show and was a kit to make pajama pants from this super cut bra print fabric.

Pajama Pants

I was able to make a  trip to Rosie's with Sandi last week, while I was in San Diego. Purchased the oranges below for the Calendar Quilts. Sandi will also be sending me a few squares from her stash, so I will have a good variety.

The fabrics below will be audtioned for the Ella Marie Deacon Quilt. Stripe is for the sashing. Most of the Blocks were completed last year and I may make a few more, but will not be making it as big as the original.

This was waiting for me when I returned from San Diego. Pincushion for July- Thank you Sandi!
