The month has flown

I've been happily sewing, time's gone so fast, and already it's the end of June.  I have made progress on about 9 projects, and even completed a few, which is very satisfying.  Much of the motivation has come from participating in 'Sew its finished' blog and the pleasure I have had from being able to photograph a finished item, ready to post on the blog.


I've also enjoyed learning from online tutorials at Missouri Star Quilt Co, and watching practical demos at my quilting group, so now I'm ready to try out 2 new quilt designs : tube quilting, and 4 strip triangles.


Recently found I had a big unexpected credit on our gas account, so I've been able to use some of the refund money to purchase wadding, some wideback backings and a neat binding tool, which should make life easier when it comes to finishing off quilts in future.  Nice little bonus.


Now Wimbledon and Tour de France are on TV, I'll have to make sure I have lots of hand sewing, binding, applique etc ready for July, so I can enjoy my craft and my spectator sport!
