Sewing At The Lake {ALYOF July Goal Complete}



Even though we were living in my parents' lake cabin all of June, I was able to still get some sewing done!



My ALYOF July goal was to complete two quilt tops using my scraps. You can read about my scraps in the goal post (number 16 in the link party). I did a simple alternating design with 4-patches and 5" charms. 

Like I said in the goal post, these will be quilted and donated as baby quilts (Mom thinks I need to keep them to remember the fabrics from special projects dating back to my 4-H days, but I keep reminding her that I have plenty of these scraps left for more projects!)



Surprisingly, I also got two more quilt tops partially done. These still need borders. The top one uses the rest of my Sasparilla charms (cut from a layer cake)... this quilt will be finished and then tucked away in case Ev ever gets a sibling ;) 

The bottom quilt has a slight plus design and uses more of my charm scraps.



Even more surprisingly, I even finished a winter dress for Ev. 
Pattern: Skater Dress by Kitschy Coo
Cream Fabric: Interlock knit remnant from JoAnns
Floral Fabric: A jersey knit from Hancock Fabrics



While I am soooo happy to finally have a home of my own, I very much enjoyed my month-long stay at the lake cabin :) This journey to home ownership has been lengthy, but we've be blessed with wonderful friends and family that have helped us out along the way. God is so good!
