June & July Done


June's Stitch-A-Long  was delayed due to my order of Crushed Walnuts, and I am so glad I waited... I love the filling and how my pincushion now feels. 

July's Project is complete only a couple of days late - but I am so happy with it. 

I have already made 2 of this months project, but I have been juggling fabrics today to try and make a non patched version perhaps with a stitchery - still pondering, I won't ponder all month I promise - tomorrows Mad Quilters Gathering might inspire me.

Thanks ladies, and I was lucky enough to spy more walnuts at the Mad Quilters gathering yesterday - so the stash has some awaiting that next project :)
