*** UFO BUSTING ***
My word of the Year is to 'Be Intentional'
While mulling over our calendar for July, I decided that the focus will be on UFOs (UnFinished Objects). One thing I need to really focus on is how many of these projects that are started do I want to finish. And then I have to 'Intentionally' make that happen. July is the month!
I know a few of you do not have UFOs (what???) and I know a few of you would rather sew something new during the month. Luckily there are several sew along going on for July AND I'll be finishing my Scrappy Stars quilt. So if you want to sew a new scrap quilt you can make star blocks. I have you covered my friend!

This is my first stack to tackle.
After these I will evaluate ones that need binding, and then ones that are tops. If by some chance I make decisions on ALL those in July, I will then look at projects in progress and make some decisions.

And.. the last row of Grandma's Kitchen is DONE! This sat WAY too long on the pile
I have been showing you this during my June Videos (watch at https://www.youtube.com/user/PatSloan?sub_confirmation=1 ) I'll talk about it again as I sew the last row on and then have the hand work to cover the seam on the back.
Some up close pieces
I used my walking foot for all of this.
