When I asked my daughter what she wanted for her birthday (28 June), I hadn't anticipated that she'd request a pair of wrist wraps. I knew that I had this Ruby Star canvas somewhere and it w in my box of Ruby Star Society fabric. However, the instructions from The Artisan Life here, were quite clear that the fabric had to be prewashed. That delayed the project a little.
I acquired the block which is about 30” square and the red polka dot on white in a local destash last week. My long arm has been less than cooperative on our customer quilt so I have taken the quilt off the machine to unpick it. I tested the tension with this small piece and of course it stitched beautifully.
I machine bound the little quilt which will be donated to our local neo natal unit.
We had a five day trip to the neighboring island of Guernsey in May and I did some cross stitch when we were there. Once again, I've tried to focus on one project at a time, but to be honest I have been avoiding unpicking a quilt so that's why I have been productive this month.
La Vie en Rose Nantes by Pride and Joy Quilting was pieced last month so I quilted it this month.
Bee Farm by Erin Elizabeth Designs is also finished and waiting to be framed.
