Three finishes in June, the halfway point of the year. This makes 14 finishes for the year so far so maybe I can finish just as many in the second half. On the left is "Glow" made with Marcia Derse fabric and it is 45" x 62.5". In the center the Single Irish Chain layout worked well with the Terrie Mangat fabrics. It is 53.5" x 71". I was happy to get a flannel quilt finished even though it is summertime. I love the 16 patches. It is 47" x 71".
The 1990s floral Sawtooth Star blocks waited a year and a half to finally get sewn into a top. It is 67" x 79". After 3 quilt tops with these fabrics, I still have 1-1/2 blanket size bins full.
In the evenings I finished 4 dishcloths. I think this Sugar 'n Cream yarn is being discontinued because I'm seeing less places carrying it and less variety available. I think I have enough to last my lifetime so I'm not worried.
Tomorrow I'll show an update to the workbench organization and document how far I have gotten into other areas of the basement. Since I don't have central air conditioning and my studio is at the farthest point from the window A/C units (and has west exposure with 2 windows!), I didn't do any evening sewing last night. I'm planning on having a cutting marathon for a few days but maybe I'll find something to sew earlier in the day. After this week of 90s and high humidity, next week looks like it will be in the low to mid 80s and things can get back to normal. I watered my tomatoes and cucumbers late afternoon yesterday and then put a top dressing of fresh compost delivered by a friend on Sunday.
