One Monthly Goal-July 2018

Patty from Elm Street Quilts is hosting One Monthly Goal,  and the link-up is now open for July. 

Just like my goal for June which I talked about here, my OMG for July is to continue working on this project, a BOM project called Time Began in a Garden by Sarah Sporrer.

I have 4 blocks left to do.  These are all hand done, it is raw edge primitive applique, some embroidery, and then hand quilted, and the backing excess is folded over to make the binding, So it is a quilt as you go project.  Then it is assembled and embroidery are added to the seams at the end.  

These are the 2 blocks I plan to get done in July:  

The sunflowers and the winter berries.  I put off doing those berries just about as long as I could.  I don't know why.  It is not as if I am trying to needle turn perfect circles.  It is just primitive raw edge.  

I'm excited for this project to be nearing the end.  The back of the pattern gives the year as 2000.  It is an old UFO.  

So I am linking up to One Monthly Goal on Elm Street Quilts here.

TIME BEGAN IN A GARDEN

This year, I am trying to finish up some of the many WISPs and UFOs I have around here.
I started this project many years ago. I still love it, I just never got around to finishing it. It is raw edge applique with some embroidery, really simple and easy to work on while watching TV with DH.


I finished the holly block tonight.

Now all I have left is the center block, the Chinese lantern, and the sunflower.

There was an option of quilting each block separately, and then attach them together, and then do the embroidery around the edges of the blocks, or wait until all the blocks are finished. With the exception of this block, all my other finished blocks are already quilted too.
