June Update - The Library Challenge


Six months in and I have totally finished three of the five projects that I chose for the Library Challenge and one more is ready for quilting.
I recently finished the freemotion quilting and secured the binding on "Hugs and Kisses".  This design is by Jaybird Quilt.  I really enjoyed stitching the FMQ feathers in each diamond.  Not sure what I will do with this little quilt.  It was my first experience with using  Kaffe Fassett fabrics, actually a jelly of KF and I added Kona Chartreuse for the diamonds. 


My commitment to the Library Challenge was five projects.  I have now totally completed three of them with the fourth one  awaiting quilting.  So, I have one more project left to get started on with lots of time to work on it before the end of the year.   "Stars and Diamonds"   a pattern by Janice McKee.  If interested, you can check out my choices here.

I am linking up with Adrienne for the monthly update and I have my fingers crossed to win this month's prize.  A $50. gift card from Mad about Patchwork.

Hope you had time to do some quilting today

    Love the RK Spot On you used for the backing. I was eyeing that this week at Avonport, but couldn't think of a suitable current project! I'm amazed that you haven't blown through all your library projects with the quantity (not to mention the quality!) of the work you produce. Lovin' the Hugs and Kisses... especially those feathers!

    I absolutely love your Kona choice for this project. And I have to admit that this is your first Kaffe project. I still have not done one. Never quite seem to know what to do with them...
    Great work!

    beautiful Linda - the colours the quilting - all of it. If you really don't know what to do with it, you can always send it my way!

    It's stunning. It's small enough to carry, everywhere you go, so people can see what an amazing quilter you are. I can't wait to see the quilting, up close.
