September 2024 monthly recap.............

I had 2 finishes in September, both quilted by Robin Diaz.  The one on the left reminds me of graffiti and is mostly e Bond's fabric lines (Glyphs, Ravel, and Root) with some of the dark narrow strips Marcia Derse fabric.  It is 59" x 79".

The one on the right is Kaffe Fassett collective and Tula Pink fabrics.  I love pink and green together.  It is 59" x 82".

I have 28 finished quilts so far this year.


I only finished one quilt top in September.  That is good because I have only made 24 new quilt tops and that means I have made some progress with finishing the backlog of tops.  This one is 66" x 79".  It is called Memories -1956 because it reminds me of the pink/gray trend when I was in high school.

I still have 32 tops waiting to be quilted.  Some I would rather sell than finish.  Others I want finished.  19 of them are in the small category (up to 66" in length) that I should be able to quilt myself.  Only one top is in the large category (longer than 81").  The rest fall between 67" and 80" on their longest side.

So on I go, making more tops.....why?.....because it is the most relaxing therapeutic thing I can do other than knitting dishcloths.  It gives me a chance to use my artistic side and experiment with design.  That's way more fun than cleaning the house every day out of boredom.
