DH was away for 2 days at the first of the month and I spent much of it in my sewing room. I dug into my Tend the Earth quilt project and made 462 hsts. 288 went into this quilt top
And the other 174 are trimmed and ready for a 2nd quilt once I settle on a pattern. I love the versatility of hsts.
Later in the month, I spent some time cutting batting scraps and flannel down for a western rag quilt
and stitched all the pieces together
I made the blocks and pieced it into a quilt and I am currently snipping the fringe...a little each morning before I tie into the day.
Earlier this year I pulled my bin of flannels and comitted to using them up. I posted about that project HERE. The rag quilt is one of the 6.
My favorite sewing assistant spent some time creating and designing one day
And together we got some stitches under her belt
We made a happy pillowcase
I also felt inspired to make a quilt to commemorate America's 250th birthday and it was fun to dig through my stash of old reds and blues and neutrals to make these blocks
I finished this flannel froggy quilt last week
And I put the last stitch into my 2nd camping quilt

Adorable! Sewing assistant and her pillow case. Ahhh the simple things in life are the best. Love your camping quilt #2.
You got a lot done! I hope you keep that pin cushion as is and never change it! It’s so cute and E put a lot of thought into it! I have spent some quality time in my quilting studio as well so I am happy!
Your quilts are all lovely. I helped a grandson make a pillowcase a couple weeks ago. He was very proud when he showed his parents and older brother. It's fun to sew with our grandchildren.
Sounds like a grand time was had all around!! I kinda like your patriotic blocks.... hmmm
