July!

July is here and nearly gone already.  I can hardly believe it.  July is always a very busy month for me--trying to squeeze in camping, sewing, etc into one month!  I was able to work on a few things between travels....and I went to the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show, like I do every year.  It is just too good to miss!
 I made this bag as a gift for a friend who loves horses!  It is an Atkinson pattern--Lollipop bags....I think I purchased the pattern last year in Bend and just recently have delved into actually making the bags!!

Speaking of bags...I went nuts and made a Sew Together Bag....it was a two day project--I used the sew along pictures at QuiltBarn to help me along with the zippers (4!!!) and I survived.  I didn't even utter a curse word!  (that, right there....amazing!!)  It was a challenge at times, as I had never sewn in a zipper, but I did it and I love the results!!


And I had to continue to work on my blocks from my Lori Holt Quilt along...I am way behind, but enjoying working on it when I can!!
 Here is a street-shot from the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show....it was early and there were lots of people already out and about.  It was 93 degrees that day...too hot for me, but I had a wonderful time meandering amongst the 1,401 quilts on display.

Off to go sew something....hope you have a great day!!!
