Please note you do not need to have attended the first class. You can use the blocks in other projects like pillows or table runners.

The first two rows are coming together nicely.

Slave Quarters, I thought the Boone Hall Plantation did a great job helping people understand the journey/history of slavery on the plantations, and what it meant for the slaves to have freedom. BooneHallPlantation_SlaveQuarters

July Goals: A lovely year of finishes

12 Replies

With the crazy week last week, I totally missed the end of month goal checkin at the “A lovely year of finishes”.  I did get 3 projects finished; a coin purse, a pillow for a swap and the hexagon trivet.

I did not get the time to finish my two big projects. The two baby quilts. These will be my goals for July. I think both of these are doable (at least at a minimum the tops) since I am having 1.5 weeks vacation.

I have a whole slew of other projects, I want to do over the next few months. This is more for my own records (I am still getting the chalk board into my sewing room), just so I don’t forget…
