3 Completes

Here are three completed quilts for the month of June. I finished Matt's American quilt. He is here visiting now so he will be able to take it home with him. The nice thing about it being completed is he can also use it one the 4th of July if he chooses. I hope he likes it. If it looks familiar, it is because I made one a couple years ago and have it posted as my profile picture.
This is the quilt I made for Otis. It will be his gift for his first birthday. I think he can grow into it and I hope he likes the pirate theme.

This table topper I gave to my daughter-in-law as a gift for graduating from college. She received her degree in accounting in May and I finally got the top done now. I won't have to mail it either as I gave it to her while they are here visiting.
Well I best get back to work. I have potato salad to make for a pool party this afternoon with Otis. I am excited to see him. I have some sewing to do also.
Have a good week
May God show us how to save America.

Loading Matty's quilt


I finished the top for Matty and now I am loading it to quilt this week.
I want to have it completed by the end of the month so I can give it to him then.
I worked out in the yard today and got my pumpkins planted. I hope to grow one for Otis.
Have a good week.
May God show us how to save America.

I goofed

Okay, I started a quilt for my son. Well this is supposed to be a sawtooth star block. Guess who cut the wrong fabric for the corner squares? Yep, you are right me!!! Here is what they should look like.
I made soap yesterday. This is goat milk/oatmeal soap. I look forward to using this in the fall.


I quilted the quilt I made for Otis. It is big. It will definitely fit a twin bed. Otis is now 8 months. I guess he will grow into it.

A picture of the completed quilt will come later.
May God Save America.
