In the middle of the packing up, unpacking and general upheaval I finished my June goal for OMG. Ruthie came down about 2 weeks before we moved and I made sure I had finished the quilting. I got one side of the binding done before all the machines went into a small storage unit near where we moved to. But I ran out of time to do the other side of the binding by machine. So in the down time I was able to get it sewn by hand. Yea for another finish!
And yes, that is one of my machines on the desk being used. We had a day between moving out and moving in. Like any good quilter I had a machine and a project box with me. I'm working on a project that I cut out for the May retreat that really didn't get anything done on it then. Luckily I've taken it to two sewing opportunities and have got all of the flying geese together and the center pieces put together. I have appliqué to do still but there will be time at some point to do that and then put it all together.
My July goal is minor. I'm going to a class in Maryland and my goal is to get the whole top done before the end of the month. Yeah, we'll see if I can do it
Here's what the studio looks like now. At some point I'll be able to show the finished space but it'll be after we get some cabinetry into it.
I am so out of the habit of blogging it has taken
me two days to write this. On the other hand, we've emptied another 10 to
15 boxes and put the contents away. And the hardest part of that is putting the contents away!
I'm linking up with Red Letter Quilts and Let's Be Social on Sew Fresh Quilts. Hopefully I'll be starting to blog more regularly now. Don't hold
your breath as there is a ton of stuff still to be done but I need another
sewing day soon!
If this is downsizing I would love to see what your old studio looked like - this looks pretty large to me :). Have fun unpacking and love the quilt spread out on the table.

The worst part is behind you! I am impressed that you have been able to do at least a bit of sewing in the midst of a move! Can't wait to see your new sewing studio all set up!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back, we missed you! The studio space looks very promising, thanks for showing it. Take time to just breathe, too.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing you were able to make any progress while moving. Congrats on getting another finish. Hope you can get back into the blogging and stitching habits soon. Unpacking can be a challenge, hope it goes well.
