When August arrives, it is usually too hot for me to work in the yard very much. I have soaker hoses run where I need them to water. With my watering taken care of, I return to my sewing room and get back to quilting.
My August projects:
My projects include a charity quilt made from some pinwheels left over from another project. It didn't take long to whip this quilt together. I had two columns of the pinwheels done so only needed to make a few more. This was an easy project plus it used up some of my scraps. The quilt will be donated as a veteran's quilt, Our local guild will present mine as well as with many other veteran quilts on Veteran's Day to the veterans in a local nursing home.
Another August quilt project was a pincushion made for a gift to a friend. This pincushion was my first attempt at paper piecing. Thought I should try something small for my first paper piecing project.
For my final project for August, I made a wall hanging for fall.
The pattern is called Pumpkin Season by The Pattern Basket. I'm not happy with my quilting and will most likely pick some of it out. Why didn't I think to use clear thread in my bobbin when quilting!! Guess I'll spend some more time with Jack.
Thanks for stopping by to see my August quilting. Happy sewing and quilting - Judy.
