Wow! June has been a busy month. Ava, Kenton, and I spent a fun week GUMC's vacation Bible school. I led preschool music all week - 5 groups every day. Kenton enjoyed being in gran's music class each day. Ava had fun with the elementary rotations. Martin was our chef for lunch and afternoon snacks. No sewing that week.
I ordered some knit yardage because knit is the fabric of choice for some kiddos.
This navy and white stripe was my first attempt of a T-shirt. Lovely fabric but it did not fit.
The red and white stripe shift was a win.
It was so easy and quick to make.
I used the back pattern piece of VFT's Maude tween with sleeves from another pattern.
Ava loves a simple dress.
The American Quilt Society and Wonderfil Threads is having a wool applique' challenge.
I bought two kits and started working on a design.
The large circle was cut into four pieces to make the wings of the butterfly.
The six sizes of smaller circles were used for other elements.
This close up is showing the edge stitching made from a whipped running stitch.
A very easy stitch.
I shared my start with UTQG this past Tuesday.
Hope some others want to join this challenge.
Below is my third mini house quilt for Habitat for Humanity.
On June 13th all of the mini quilts were displayed at a reception for new home owners.
Each family chose a mini quilt to take home.
Two of my minis are in this view of the quilts.
My first attempt is above my third.
The presentation and stories of the donors and recipients were very inspiring.
I'm glad I was part of the celebrations.
Happy Sewing!
