Colorways by Vicki Welsh

June wasn’t a monumental month for creative accomplishments but I got some things done. First, I finished one veterans quilt of my own and quilted 3 others.

My big accomplishment for June was getting this website set up. That took over a week of my time and I’m really happy to have it done. Not to brag, I also washed all 31 windows in my house. That was a few days work!

I also finished 4 placemat sets at the beginning of the month.

I started two projects this month. First I dyed and cut the fabric for my big Eclipse quilt project. This one’s for me to take to Maine as my travel sewing project. the other project is a shirt jacket. This one is made from feedsacks and is a test garment for the “real” one in embroidered linen. This version will be finished by tomorrow.

All in all, it was a good and productive month. Here are the end of month statistics
