So there you have it ... how I spent my summer!!

UFO update...

SO I've been working this summer to quilt through my UFO pile,

and I finally have a few photo's to share!

The first project that needed finishing was my daughter's T-shirt quilt...

well I can FINALLY say it's DONE!

I finished the last stitches of binding while on vacation!

Here is the front

(drapped over the king size bed of the house we rented in Chatham!)

and the back 

It came out a bit HUGE!!!

Needless to say she was thrilled

and cried when she read the book label! 

Her comment through the teary eyes....

"Boy Mum you put alot of thought into this"!!

PRICELESS!!

The second project was a bib with iron on vinyl

this was made special for my nephews baby girl...

she'll make her arrival in November,

but he and his wife were visiting us at the Cape and I wanted done

for the baby gift box I was putting together.

The next item to come of the UFO list

was my Lobster Table runner.

Here it is on the dining room table with my

ceramic Horseshoe Crab ... Alfred!

He came from Chatham Pottery. 

I stipple stitched around the bigger lobsters so they would puff

out a bit. I like how it looks like they are climbing out of the rocks! 

A Pink and Green baby quilt was next and will be shipped off to Virginia

for a special gift for Baby Maggie! 

I made it using the Yellow Brick Road pattern from Atkins Designs

and I think it will make a great play mat!

In May I attended a Jo Diggs workshop and out first task

was to make a mini Landscape.

All hand appliqued and quilted.

It makes a great Mug Rug!

That's FIVE projects done!

I have another four more that are almost done!!

Back to quilty work I go!!
