June Report

Progress

Besides the two finishes (see blog posts above) I made good progress on the Bright Side quilts. I finished the second top and made a backing each. They are now off to a Emanuela @ Quiltkarussel for longarm quilting. She offered free quilting for practice so there is no time requirement and I will get them back whenever she gets to it or feels like it. They will be donated after I later finish the binding ;)

I also made very good progress on Scrappy Pixel. The grid quilting is almost done.

And I managed the top for my nephew’s quilt. I wanted a design that would fit well with the quilt of my first nephew. So triangles it was and when I saw this design at Grace & Peace Quilting I immediately fell in love. I also used similar fabrics including as many prints of the first quilt as I still had in my stash.

Minimalism

The topic I am reading the most about – besides quilting – is minimalism. So I thought I would put my best reads from this month in here in case you are interested too :)

Personal Life

The big news of June are really big ;)

My new car arrived. Woohoo! After last year’s annual check-up, they told me that big repairs would be necessary to pass through inspection again. And as the car was too old to invest that much money, I ordered a new car. Besides picking a special color and one small package of extras, I did not buy anything fancy. But to me, this new car nonetheless has all the bells and whistles.

I love the new to me Apple Car Play function that comes with my huge display. And I am also silly excited about a function called “limit”. It’s a subfunction of cruise control. But instead of setting a steady speed, it limits the speed to a maximum. I love to compare it to my sewing machine *lol. It might seem like a small thing but it is so great in residential areas with reduced speed limits so I can focus on traffic and things like playing children and nonetheless not worry about a ticket ;)

I hope you enjoyed my recap of the month and the extra insights into what is happening over here.
