Midweek Progress

Good morning and happy hump day! I’m so excited that I got one of my May UFO goals done, and the month isn’t even halfway over. The pinwheel quilt is quilted and bound! 
This had been a long-term UFO, and now it’s completely done. I like it well enough that I’m thinking about entering it in the 2025 quilt show. Of course, that means I will have to add a hanging sleeve to the back which I detest doing, so we will see.

More good news—Julie picked up her tee shirt quilt, and she liked it a lot. That one took me a lot longer than it should have, but she was very nice about it. And now, the floor where I photograph the quilts is empty again. 

I cut out a few more of the APQ BOM’s, and I’ll take pictures when I get them sewn. I also added two more borders on the church raffle quilt, so that’s progress. 
I am open to suggestions on what other borders I can add that would look good without being too overwhelming. 

We raffled this one off Sunday for our Mothers Day raffle. 

We made $895 on ticket sales, which will be used for our WELCA projects, most likely shipping of quilts and school supplies. The money we made is worth the time we put into it. 

I hope all the moms had a good Mother’s Day on Sunday. All the moms were given a pink rose at church.

Other than that, it was not a good day. It’s okay; I survived. Whoever thought up this holiday was probably crazy. Just my opinion.

  1. Your pinwheel quilt is gorgeous! That would be a great entry for a quilt show. Glad you have a bare floor - it's a good feeling. I have been procrastinating on the wedding quilt, big time. I finally ripped out the two blocks that needed to be switched, and there they still lay on my cutting table.
    I'm sorry your Mother's Day was not a good day. Personally, I have too many expectations on most holidays - I just can't help it - so I relate.

    1. Thank you! I hope you can make some progress on the wedding quilt, but I understand the procrastination. I think the problem with Mother’s Day is all the expectations that go along with it, and all the friends who post on Facebook about how wonderful their day was.
