These are the kitties that Kerry sent me.  I think they are all just ADORABLE!! I want to make my kitty quilt now!! But I have some of things I need to work on first!  oh well I shall hang these in my sewing room to enjoy :)

Here are some of the blocks I sent to Kerry.



It's not too late to join for July!

Disappearing 9 patch

I did some straight line quilting on the back of this, and quite like how it turned out!

And here is the front.  I LOVE hose this turned out!! I can see why people make many of these quilts!! they are fast and easy, and they also look so interesting!

And this is finish #5 of the year!!!

Turtle quilt

This is the back of the turtle quilt 

And here is the finished quilt, I know it's kind of hard to see, but I used the same blue as the background for the binding.

And this is finish #4 of the year!!!!



I am linking up with link a finish Friday!!!

June goals check in

My June goals check is in late!! This school year has been crazy!! I haven't had much time to myself, and when I have, I have been sewing!! Without further ado, my goals for 2014. . .

1. Post in my blog 7 times a month.  I have been doing this!! maybe I should try 10 times a month, but I know when August and September hit, I might not get that.  But let's try!

2. I had changed this to finish 10 quilts this year.  Well I am on finish #5 (not posted yet) and I have 5 quilts I am currently working on (that I would like to have finished by the end of summer), then I also have two quilt tops done (that needs to be quilted), one other top that is almost done.  So maybe I will push this one to 15 finishes this year!

3. This is the one I need to start on, I have one UFO that is in rows, that I plan on actually making into two quilts.  And I would really like to get a good start on my husbands tee shirt quilt!  so much to do!

Scrappy binding

 

When I put the binding on my disappearing nine patch I decided to do a scrappy binding, I used purples, blacks and whites.  And then for part of it black thread, and the other white.

Binding cat

Minnie helped me put some binding on last night!

Bow ties

 

Last night at sit n stitch I got the binding on a quilt (woohoo!! finish #4 of the year) but I don't have pictures yesterday.

After I finished that I worked on a paper piecing block (which I need to ship before I post pictures of it!) Then I worked on my bow ties, I sewed them into twosies, and then put them into foursies!!  I am SO excited! I know I am NO where near close to having enough for a full size quilt for me.

I am linking up to Work in Progress Wednesday.
