A Special Friday Finish

Ten years ago or so, I started making quilts for all my mother's great-grandchildren when they turned 12. This year, the first of my mother's grandchildren celebrated a 25th wedding anniversary. I've decided the silver wedding anniversary requires a special quilt!

JoLynn and her husband David often host me when I am returning from quilt camp in Idaho. She seemed very pleased with this king-size Triple Irish Chain. And I even sewed the binding down by hand! Sonya Chin did the custom quilting.

JoLynn took the photo for me -- thanks Jo, and quilter holders David and Levi!

WIP Wednesday: A Busy Month

 Did you miss me?

I had a wonderful time at Quilt Wyoming -- truly nice, nice people, the best classes and most impressive door prizes ever! I promise a road trip report on Saturday!

But now I really have to buckle down and sew like the wind for the rest of July -- there are five (yep. FIVE!) quilts that must be finished -- sewn, quilted, bound and blogged! by August 2!

First up is today's WIP, the September Jelly Roll Party sample. I feel strongly that next month's sample should be finished for this month's Jelly Roll Party! So I must have the September sample ready to show by the August Jelly Roll Party.

The September quilt is "Windmills" by two of my favorite designers, Pam and Nicky Lintott:

The fabric is "Blueberry Crumble" by Moda.  I think it really looks like September, don't you?  This is only 16 of 48 blocks, so I need to get back to the sewing machine now!

Friday, I am judging "Heritage Arts" 4-H projects for the El Paso County Fair. I can't wait to see what this year's 4-H'ers have made.
