It is August. I am a bit in shock by that, but not really. I have been steadily chipping away in July at this month’s goal. I want/need to finish my mom’s birthday present. Her birthday is in September and this is my git er done month. I will finish the quilting and bind my mom’s birthday quilt. Here’s my quilting progress to date:
I learned this awesome tape technique from the wonderful Julie at Intrepid Thread. It is a great way to get straight lines without having to mark up your quilt. These lines are already done and I taped some fill in lines the next day:
All that is left is borders and binding (oh and I have to pick out a binding – I suck at that).
