Favorite Finish Monthly Linkup - May 2020

Welcome to May's Favorite Finish Monthly Linkup!

Another month has passed, I hope that everyone is safe and doing well.  

This month marked two important events for me:

1.  I now have a teenager!  My son turned 13 in early May.  I can't believe that he has gotten so old.  

2.  I mailed off the 36 quilts for my book!  I made 20 of the quilts and local quilters made 16.  I had a lot of help from Carol Alperin who did the quilting on about half of the quilts. I never would have been able to make the deadline otherwise.

Here are 36 quilts all boxed up and ready to mail.  The 3 boxes together weighed just under 75 pounds.

Please link up your favorite finish from April and take a few minutes to see everyone else's finishes.  Remember, you can link a picture right from your computer, you do not need an Instagram or blog post.

Ready for the party?  

Here is a reminder of the party details:

• The linky party will open at 12:01am EST on the last day of the month and will be open for 5 days, through the 4th at 11:59 pm EST.

• For instructions on how to link up blog, Instagram, or pictures from your computer (new - there is now a way to just upload a picture without a web link) to the party, click here.  

• If linking a blog post, I ask that you please add a link back to the party (and the button graphic if you would like).

Favorite Finish Monthly Linkup - June 2019

Welcome to June's Favorite Finish Monthly Linkup!

My favorite finish for the month was making some pincushions using Karen Lewis's newest fabric line, Wayward, for Robert Kaufman.  Karen gave me a charm pack of the new prints at QuiltCon and I was excited to play with the neutral prints with metallic accents.

I figured the best way of using the charm pack was to make some smaller items that could highlight the different designs.  Pincushions it was :)

Favorite Finish Monthly Linkup - April 2019

Welcome to April's Favorite Finish Monthly Linkup!

I have been busy with spring break, my first ever quilting retreat, and preparing to teach at the NC Quilt Symposium.  I have had a few finishes, but unfortunately I have to keep those under wraps for a little while longer.

During the retreat, I actually finished 5 quilt tops (some were almost done, others had fabric cut), a needle book, and 5 pincushions.  Plus, I ate too much good food and had fun hanging out with all of the other quilters.  The retreat was at Wildacres Retreat and I thought that this sign was very fitting...

Here are three of the quilt tops I finished during the retreat...

Favorite Finish Monthly Linkup - March

Welcome to the first Favorite Finish Monthly Linkup!

My favorite finish of March is a quick charity finish that I have not even had time to blog about (we just finished getting new carpet in the upstairs so blogging time has been limited).

Back many years ago, I made a Swoon block (pattern by Camille Roskelley).  I had thought about making a Swoon quilt, but after one block I did not feel like making anymore.  This lone block has been hanging out in my sewing room too long so I needed to be finished into something.

I added 5" (finished) borders to the 24" block to make a nice baby quilt that was the perfect size to use a single width backing.  A quick open swirl quilt pattern and some plaid binding finished the quilt.

This quilt will be donated to through the Greenville Modern Quilt Guild to the Greenville Hospital System for children when they are taken from their homes by DSS.
