June 2025 Quilt Progress



I maintained my monthly goals this month and completed a few quilts as well. I also had a mishap on Miss Moxie that has me pulling out 9 rows of stitches. In the 4 years I have been longarming I have never cut myself short on backing fabric, but like they say, "there's a first time for everything!" and my first time was on the Beachwalk quilt I had finished from the May retreat. I honestly don't know what I was thinking when I loaded the backing, but for some reason I turned the joining seam vertical when it should have been horizontal. As of today I have removed 3 rows so hopefully I will have it pulled out and back on Miss Moxie by the weekend.

My rundown on the 2025 goals, which I am proud to say I am staying on top of:

Vintage Christmas - there were 4 blocks again this month. I am using the Hometown fabric collection scraps from when I made the Quilted Snowman. I will need to add some finishing touches to all of these, such as eyes, nose, mouths, etc before it gets quilted.


Cali & Co Mystery Block - I completed block 6 this month using Corey Yoder's Cali & Co fabric line. I'm still not sure how this quilt is going to look when finish and had I known in January how this quilt was going to be made, I probably would not have participated in this BOM.


A Quilting Life - I completed the June block using Sherri's Raspberry Summer fabric collection, which is the same collection she is using. Since the blocks are 18 1/2" square, this is going to be a good size quilt when done. I'm excited to see the final layout for this, but that will not be until the end of the year as she doesn't reveal anything ahead of time.

Sewing Themed Quilt Sew-a-long by Erica Ardnt - this quilt was a planned finish for this month and I reached my goal of finishing the top. I hope to have it quilted on Miss Moxie in July. I love the way this quilt turned out and the fabric line is really adorable.

ANOTHER FINISH FOR THIS MONTH!

Stars in Stars - this quilt I posted about last month for my May progress and stated I was hoping to finish and I did. Not only did I finish the quilt top, but I also got it on Miss Moxie and she is now hanging on my wall in my living room for us to admire throughout the month of July in honor of Independence Day (July 4th). She has a full article of her own that you can view HERE.


Happy Quilting!
