UP TO DATE

Now I can officially state that--
=====all my bom's are up to date--
here is Junes' wool block--

I will add a couple buttons to this, of bees, when it is quilted--
The next block will be a fall one and comes out next Friday--

And I did get this started--

the machine quilting--
this is 2 rows of the blocks--
I started with trying  out a walking foot--
and I have to say--I did not like it--
it slowed everything down alot and it was hard to get the quilt under the foot--
and it sometimes stuck in the up position so had to continually keep adjusting it--
( course this could of just been me???)
finally put the old regular sewing foot on the machine and off I went--
am also able to sew straighter lines--some of my seams here look like a 'drunk' was at the wheel!!!
( and yes--I do see that I missed a couple rows on the short side--hummmmm????)
I have got the long rows done on the second piece now too--

And one a few days ago when I was done on the dock--
a guy came down the ramp and handed me this--Rose--

I took this photo a couple days after he gave it to me--so some of the palm leaves had dried a bit--
he did a lovely job on it--then he stumbled back up the dock and walked down the road!!!!

I did realize that this is the month of July--
and don't we usually sew some Christmas projects in this month?????
I know I have a couple that I want to start--
but I really need to get this bed quilt done first--
Is anyone else sewing on a Christmas project this month?????????
