I have a small finish for July but I am unable to take a picture right now due to traveling. It is a small quilt made from a "honey bun" I bought years ago. Once we stop long enough for a picture, I will post it.

Sandy I just love your finish. It is so pretty. You did a great job improving on the original top. I love your creativity. Good luck on your showing.

I love all of the finishes this month.

All so creative and candy for the eyes. I so enjoy this thread.

I have a small panel ufo completed. I just had to do the quilting on the machine. As noted nothing fancy. I'm trying to practice my straight quilting. [ATTACH=CONFIG]577754[/ATTACH]Now to put in in the closet, until next holiday. I also completed a lab dog pillowcase, not shown. I'm not going to post a pic of that. I also sent 3 UFO's to longarmer to get quilted. I figure next month for at least 2 finishes. So for this month's count, 1 UFO finish. I'm also trying to finish my UFO RWB table topper. I just need to layer the pieces and quilt the top. Next month finish. This month I'm still working on my BHMQ top. It should be finished next week. Unless I get side tracked. Which I do frequently.

Happysewing/quilting everyone.

You ladies and gents have been working on some lovely additions to the list. You can each be very proud of yourself. I am finding my confidence in FMQ which is a wonderful feeling. Hope to have something posted soon.

happylab...congrats on the finished panel quilt.

I know all about getting side-tracked. I am forcing myself to finish all the UFOs I have and not add to them, but it's a struggle. I already have plans to start 3 new patterns...a landscape one, either a fractured or a bargello pattern(probably fractured) and a simple pattern using scraps so I can practice FMQ.(that should be fun...or not!!)

I have a last minute UFO finish for July, just under the wire. I got the binding on today! This is the Baby's First Year Quilt I made for my daughter's friend. The baby is 2 1/2 now, it's been a UFO for a while. LOL

wildyard, how did you attach the clothes to the block? It is really cute. I have been asked about doing that with some baby clothes, but wasn't sure the process people are using. Thanks.
