The week we had all the rain in central Texas, Galen and I were at South Padre Island. The weather there was not great but better than here at home. Had hoped he would get out fishing with his friend there but they decided to save it for another time. However he did go to the birding center just about every day and was able to get some new lifers plus updated pictures for this year.
In the mornings then again in the evenings when we were in the hotel I managed to get 4 quilts bound. They were the 4 made from the string blocks I found in a container.
Once we got home I had more quilts to bind. Managed to get 2 more done for Quilts of Compassion. Those were 2 my friend Joan sent me to add backing, get my friend to quilt and then I would bind them. She sent more than these 2 but they will go in the next shipment along with quilts from another friend. Kerry my quilter has been having issues with her machine plus I have been having issues with my right hand. I think over use is probably the word!
Joan's Aiming for Accuracy Quilts
And a string block quilt from Joan
But I did pull out several others from my completed quilt stash for this shipment to the Carolinas
I think this one is called Charmed Star
This one is from the Top of the Month Club at the Cotton Cupboard in Lakeway. It's a Villa Rosa card but don't remember the name
This one was a Block of the Month club at Cotton Cupboard. Pattern is Trifecta
Had one other quilt to get together and finished. Had help with this one as some friends made some of the blocks. And now that she has received her quilt I can post pictures
Once again this month was pretty much spent finishing quilts so not many added to my block count for the year; only 20 which takes me to 530 through October. With 2 months to go I don't think I will meet or surpass last years total count. But you never know!
And I do need to get back to getting quilts made-my stash of quilts is getting pretty depleted.
