Another VERY HOT DAY! Luckily the shop is fairly cool with all the fans going and the doors closed. We're waiting on new fabric to arrive today and the rest of the week. Due to arrive is Kona Bay's Serenity II a gorgeous line with cranes, wisteria, mums and iris. We are also expecting some of their eco bags - one with cats and one with whales - pretty neat! We are also expecting some Christmas fabric from South Seas and Moda which we won't put out on the shelves until we re-schedule the Christmas in July Event. It will be a surprise until then.
Today I hope to finish the borders on the first Moda Club Quilt of Valor Mystery, and, if time permits, finish the Double Cross blocks for our Someday Quilts Murder Mystery book club. If you missed club this month, stop in for a pattern. It's an interesting quilt and quite simple to make!
This year Patty and I decided to keep a log of the quilts each of us have finished since the beginning of the year. There is a column to check if we pieced it, quilted it, or both. So far I have pieced 7 and quilted 6 for a total of 9 quilts or tops finished. Try it! It's really inspiring to have a list over your sewing area showing your progress. I think we forget just how much we do accomplish with our quilting. I set a goal at the beginning to do at least one a month and I'm ahead of my goal!
Stay Cool!
