Stories From The Sewing Room One Monthly Goal - July Finish Link-up

Three project milestones were the options for July and I finished 2 with progress on the 3rd. I am still down to show preparations to finished my miniature quilt entry for the local quilt show.  

Option 1: Tiny Tumbling Triangles completed

During July, the Miniature, smallest size from the Deb Tucker’s Studio 180 pattern, Tumbling Triangles had quilting and binding finished. I’d been wanting to make this pattern for 9-years since my first guild had a class that I couldn’t attend in June of 2017. The label and hanging sleeve need to be added to both hang it here at home and have it be ready for the September quilt show. 

This is my first quilt using the diagonal binding technique and it was difficult. I'm looking to improve on the process by trying it on the other 2 quilts that need to be finished for the quilt show.

Quilt Back:

Miniature Tumbling Triangles is 2026 Project 6 in progress for 79-hours and 29-minutes estimated to be 95% complete.

Option 2: Smitten2 Block 7A attached

Smitten2 now has both Block 7A and the first of 2 Month 6 side-setting Triangles (horizontal stripe) attached to the flimsy. I prefer attaching the side Triangles after the blocks so the 2nd one will have to wait until 7D is made and attached. Pink Door Fabrics’ Moon Garden Smitten 2 is 2025 UFO 7, Month 6 in progress for 43-hours and 10-minutes out of 270-hours and 51-minutes on the entire quilt top.

Option 3: Embroidery 101 January (2025) Sampler Page completed

January page is completed! GothamQuilts' Embroidery 101 with Dizzy Quilter, Jen Strauser, Embroidery Sampler book 2026 UFO 53’s January page completed in 10-hours and 1-minute out of 23-hours and 7-minutes for the entire course estimated to be 28% complete.

I was feeling less confident when I started this page so I chose a muted thread to match closer to alleviate my nerves. I really like having the different color threads to show off how the stitches combine.

My One Monthly Goal July proposal is HERE which was number 2 on the link-up.
