Put your foot down 254
Making progress on last weeks list. This evening I will start on the Twilight Blog Hop quilt because it will take longer than the other two items on the list. My loft will be in total shambles by the time all are finished.

Yesterday I shared my flimsy for the Something Smells Fishy blog hop hosted by Just Let Me Quilt. The fishy part really had me all over the place in my design process. I found as many fish blocks as I could but decided I needed something more original.

Something’s fishy
In my search I came across some funny word designs and immediately I knew I had to find a clever way to use them. It hit me, a t-shirt quilt since many of the designs I imagined on t-shirts. So I drew up a patchwork t-shirt block and started stitching.

July 1st I received shipment 2 for the 2024 Island Batik Ambassador program and the boxes are still sitting in my sewing room unopened. Before the end of the week though I plan to get these boxes opened and be wowed.

At the moment I am all caught up with IBA challenges, until the new box of goodies arrive sometime next week. I’m really enjoying some relaxed sewing for the “Something Smells Fish Blog Hop” hosted by Carol at Just Let Me Quilt.

Today is my second appt this week to the dentist, yuck. I have been making progress with projects and finally finished the organization in my sewing room.
Yesterday I shared my For the Birds/Create for a Cause quilt. With this finish I discovered I really do love improv quilting and learned to accept sometimes the block placements do not always work.

covering the world one quilt at a time
This is my second year participating and again I have chosen our veterans as my charity. My goal is to cover as many Vietnam Vets in my area as possible, before they’re gone. Last year I awarded Dan with a quilt I made from the AccuQuilt tumbler and star applique dies.
