PROGRESS ON SEVERAL PROJECTS......

 I've made progress on several projects I'm working on.  First up is the Quilty 365...I was digging around in a box yesterday and found some more of the pink I'm using for the strips and no they weren't in my Pink Scrap Box...how did that happen.!  Just have to finish up the embroidery.

My Antique Roses are blooming.  I've lived her for 40 years and they were already here and blooming.

I started my Crochet Along last night.  You have to see how many you can make for the summer.

I have 3 monthly challenges I'm working on.  Color Challenge, RSC 2022, and National Day.  I got the paper patterns cut and pinned to there muslin blocks.  Just have to pick out the fabric and start cutting.

I almost forgot to post my OMG goal for June.   I have about  6 or 7 filmsy that need to be sandwiched.  That is my goal this month...to sandwich 3 of them.  

Hope you all have a wonderful Sewing....

IT'S TUESDAY.......

 so it's time for my To-Do Tuesday, being hosted by Linda.  Here is last weeks list.

1.Work on SAHRR center panel.✔

2. Do Wk 20 of TAST👎

3. Do more Hand Picked blocks.✔

4. Cut Blue Baskets.✔

5. Work on Quilty 365

 The SAHRR center panel is coming along.  I've gotten side tracked on this one.  But I'll get back to it soon.


Well, I did pretty good with this weeks list, 4 of 5 done.  That's pretty good for me.  As for the TAST stitches 19 and 20, Oyster stitch and the Basque stitch isn't getting done.  I've tried for 2 weeks to get these 2 stitches, I've wore out several pieces of Muslin doing these 2 stitches, so I've given up.  So I'll move on to Wk 21, which is the Raised Herringbone Band.  It involves 2 stitches and lacing.  Just click on the link above to see this stitch tutorial.


 as for the Hand Picked blocks, I didn't get any actually done, but I have several traced.  So I'm counting this as done.

 

My Blue Basket have turned pink.  I was digging around in my blues and didn't think I had enough to work on this, so they are now going to be pink.  They will be different pinks....you can see my post about this HERE.


 I got the last row of Quilty 365 done, but when I went looking for the pink fabric I used for the strips, well, there was none. 


  I've searched hi and low on the internet looking for it, but, nope haven't found any.  So the last strip will have to be a different color.  Any suggestions!!!!

While I blog hopping I found a Crochet-a-Long....I think I'll join in.
