I have had a very busy month this July. I was away on a quilt retreat at Hawkeye Lake again this year but forgot to take pictures. I made 6 quilt tops on retreat. Two of them will be Teddy Bear quilts and the others are children's quilts for a group called "Precious Bundles". The guild supplies them with children or baby quilts to give to the less fortunate.
I also went on a fishing trip up to Lake of the Woods. We didn't get our limit of 12 fish but we caught 10 and had a great fish fry.
Today I finished the Hinge quilt. Whoot, whoot. I was really not looking forward to putting the borders on this quilt as it finishes at 68 x 80 inches. I very large quilt for me to make. I just have to add the binding and then I will take a final picture. I bought myself a treat of a new sewing machine and that is what made the task so easy. It paid for itself today. It is a Janome 8900 and just a gem. I think I am really going to enjoy this new machine and to put it through it's paces. Looking forward to getting to know it.
