I actually did get some things done in August!

Between feeling like I was running all over the place, and not accomplishing a lot, I did manage to work on a few things!

The wedding quilt is still a work in progress - will someone remind me why i thought it was a good idea to quilt a 95"sq quilt on my domestic machine?

And why I decided it should be straight lines?

Well I am, and they aren't, and I am getting so tired of pushing it around that it may be a while yet before I have the strength to finish it!

But, on a little bit brighter note, I did get a challenge quilt finished for a local quilt shop, but I don't seem to have taken any pictures of it, so I'll blog about it after I pick it up on Saturday; and I did get my Tangled Textiles Celebration challenge done, so I guess August wasn't a complete write-off!

Happy quilting!

  1. Oh my, that is a beast! I've never made anything that big, and if I ever do, I'm certain it won't be quilted in my house! It's looking fabulous Janet!

  6. Hang in there! The fact that you made that quilt yourself, start to finish, will make it that much more meaningful as a wedding gift!!
