I think I was quite productive this month, with a rush of activity towards the Fat Quarterly Retreat and then a rush to finish my Finish-along projects for the quarter ending in June!
The centre photo is of my latest finish that just squeaked into June - the Fruity Polo Quilt! Then clockwise round the edge starting top left corner:

- And last of all My Friendship Garden quilt top completed!
FQR was the ultimate experience this month and prompted me to start up the In the Frame Purse Swap with the ultra organised Helen aka archiethewonderdog - huge big thanks to Helen who is not joining in except as a brilliant swap mama.
It is ongoing. I am so delighted with everyone who has joined in - what a great bunch of people you are! And what beautiful purses are being made - to see them look here! We are finishing at the end of July!
I have been greatly assisted in focusing on my UFOs this year by the lovely Rhonda and finished my Friendship Garden Quilt top ( hoping to finish the quilt next quarter ) and my Fruity Polo quilt - I love it! Despite a few slip ups on the back! Hoping a wash and dry will help sort a few of those out!
Bring on July! Not expecting as much to be achieved this month - but who knows?
I am linking up to the lovely Lynne for fresh-sewing-day-july - I think most of us do now and if you don't - why don't you!? Have a look and you too can join in the fun!
Gosh you have been busy, lovely to see it all in one place
