AUGUST

 Another busy stitching month--

still working on some basket blocks--

Sunday's is still doing some embroidery and winding floss

Also did this embroidery for the center of the Silver Linning quilt top-

Got the  Snowflake mystery quilt top all finished--

and the Silver Lining top is finished--

This month's dirty dozen was #3 and that was the apron blocks--

so here is how I finished them--

Got the flower quilt all hand quilted--this was July's dirty dozen #5-felt good to get this one done--I just am not sure I like it????

This months bird color--block--bird was the Flamingo--

(sent all these blocks to Anne for her birthday--for her to use in some of her quilts)

Some more baby sweaters are done--

This months color was purple--

I also did this Lady block--

I got all 9 of these Christmas blocks hand pieced--

Now all the floss and threads have been wound on cards--853 cards total--big job, but I love it done this way --way worth the effort and expense!!

Apron quilt is now all hand quilted--

A new block pattern I got from the Quilter's Club newsletter-uses a charm pack--really like this block--

This is my newest applique project each afternoon--Butterflies!!

And I got more work done on this fans--and now have the basket part pattern all made--just need to buy some background and some browns for the baskets--

And this is where I am now on the Halloween Mouse counted cross stitching!!

We also finished the Jolly Bar quilt--I have the rows sewn together--and the strips for the lattice between the rows and what I want to use for the borders--only--it will be nearly 60" square when done and that is large for me to hand quilt--so am trying to decide if I want to quilt it in rows instead of a whole quilt???
