June was going along fine and then all the sudden - Poof It's July. I am really really good at NewFO's but have never shared about them. I really enjoy Barbara's many posts about NewFO's and Finishes (which I'm trying to do) and goal setting so I think I'll follow along on some of these and see if I can get a little more finished. After all when someones watching it makes you a little more accountable right. :)
So What all did I do.. My June Doll Quilt for my Doll Quilt swap:
With a matching Pincushion
Then I am also part of a group that swaps Pincushions each month I have two swap partners for that so here are the two pincushions that I made for them.
This a pattern that I got from Kaaren Johnson of "The Painted Quilt" Blog. They have coordinating fabric on the back. I also made a 3rd one in lime green that I backed with a muted lime green wool. I also started this candle mat - The fish actually needed to be hand dyed to make the dual color in them so that was kinda fun. I haven't started the stitching on this yet but - someday soon.
Next - this is a quilt I started and finished and now am going to work on some more. I started it to be part of a challenge called the "Modern Mini Quilt Challenge" that is hosted by Ellison Lane. But after I got all done I just looked off. Well that's because it is silly. So I will be adjusting some the corners on the appliqued quilts and then readjusting some of my quilting. (No I didn't put it in the contest)
And I also started an embroidery BOM from Jenny at Elefantz - she is an Australian designer and I really like her stuff. It is called Daisy Days.
I am not quite done with Block 1 but I better hurry up because block two has already been published. I have however got it traced and ready to do.
Well I guess that's enough for one month. I also worked on some UFO's and a couple of other little projects that are WIP's but I'll save that for another post. Have a blessed day.

That's an impressive list of NewFo's! I must take a look at Jenny's "Daisy Days", your block looks very pretty. Your pincushions are adorable. Love how the churn dash block looks made up as a pincushion!
