Carlye's apron

 Ironing board cover and new pad.

 Sewing machine cover. Love the pirates. Didn't measure, oops. Had to add a "skirt" to make it fit well.

Good sewing, good quilting, or whatever makes you happy.

Tetris quilt

I have this great group of friends. We have a secret santa exchange twice a year. I had seen Tetris quilts on the 'net before and really wanted to make one. I knew the gal I drew for also likes Tetris. Soooooo, I decided to try. It isn't perfect but I really like the way it turned out.

 Kona solids except for purple. I forgot to buy the purple and used a textured fat quarter in my stash.

 Her initials are N.H. so I incorporated them into the "T" on the back.

 The backing is from JoAnn and matches a collection of cute sock monkey fabrics.

Quilt in a tree just because I like it.

June wrap up

Okay, I didn't finish everything I set out to do BUT I did add a time-intensive project halfway through the month. Forgive the bad cellphone pics, please.

To be finished in June:
Wildflower quilt 

1 Swoon block (didn't get to this so I will do 2 in July)
Apron for me

1 apron for someone else (Didn't get to it. It's my first July project. Plan to have it done by the 4th.)
sewing machine cover (nope. will do in July)
ironing board cover (If you look in that last pic above, you can see it laid out. It will be my 2nd July project)
1 pillowcase (I MADE TWO!!! These are super easy and 2 yds of fabric will give you two coordinating cases.)

super secret project (Finished and in the mail. It will get it's own post later this week.)

All in all, not a bad month. For July, I will not add an extra project that has to be finished.

Good sewing, good quilting, or whatever makes you happy.
