Scrappy Four Patch Progress
I've made even more four patches - up to 140 or so now!
Xmas All Year!
I also decided to join the Xmas All Year project. It's really quilt simple: make 1 Christmas gift/ornament/one year long project to be finished by Christmas! This way, we have the potential to have 12 gifts ready to go and hopefully avoid the Christmas sewing rush! It's hosted by Jeanette at 1 Xmas Item a Month.
I'm going to tie this in with One Monthly Goal hosted by Patty over at Elm Street Quilts as well! One links up their goal the first 7 days of the month and links up their progress the last 6 days of the month. Set your calendars! Let's finish up some projects!
Here's a sneak peek of my July Xmas/OMG item:
Did you guess what it is? :)

Book Date
I'm on chapter 20 which is about the book of Esther. I'm forever amazed at the faith of the people!
Consequences were so much more severe in those times!
I Am Malala reveals such a faith and strength in her family and herself. She reminds me of an "old soul" with her wisdom and strength!
The High Tide Club has been much neglected by me. No so much because I don't enjoy it, but because there is so much I want to do! I seem to be in a season of audiobooks.
I started the audio book version of Any Day Now and am thoroughly enjoying it mostly because it reveals the mind of a recently sober alcoholic as well as continuing the story of the characters from What We Find.
Next up?

I really like all the little squares! They would be beautiful in a quilt. My grandmother made one very similar to that.
ReplyDeleteReally? I bet it was beautiful! I believe I may be an old soul....lots of people tell me their grandmothers made quilts like the ones I'm working on (the yo yo quilt, hexie quilt). It makes me smile. You see, one reason I started quilting was because I was studying the history of quilting! :)
DeleteGood to hear from you!
I’m not ready to think about Christmas yet! Good luck with your project, though. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
LOL! I hear you! With four grandbabies, I can never start to early! Thank you for stopping by! I hope you have a great week as well!
DeleteThe Story sounds very interesting. I just checked out the first chapter on Hoopla.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! What did you think? I'm enjoying it, even if I find it hard to put my sewing down to read!
DeleteLove that you found me on the OMG and do you know I can't guess what you are making for July so I'll be looking forward to finding out at the end. Great that Any Day Now is so good on audio. I did enjoy reading it.
ReplyDeleteI shared it on my last post! I'm excited! Yes, Any Day Now was great! I loved the empowering ending! I'm looking forward to seeing your bookshelf quilt grow!
DeleteIntriguing sneak peek.... Thanks for linking up with Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal and good luck on your project.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind comments! Before I got sick, I used to link up to OMG and I'm glad to be able to do it again! OMG and To Do Tuesdays really give me crafty focus! So grateful for both link ups! Thank you!
DeleteCute four patches! This is going to be a huge quilt ;) Great idea to think about Christmas now!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm excited to see how it turns out. I usually work on it during my daily calls with my dad so it will have some nice memories as well! Thank you for stopping by!
DeleteVery fun 4-patches. Good luck with your OMG and Christmas Now plans.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Looking forward to finishing it and starting a kitty one for my granddaughter!
