Monthly Mini--pretending it is still June

Late--again. Sorry, Wendy.
Here is my completed June mini.
I pieced most of this at my January retreat this year. Wish I could find the pattern that inspired this so that I could give the designer credit. On a recent sewing room clean up I found it and set it aside--now I can't find it again.
As usual, I did the stitch in the ditch on my Pfaff.  On the right you can see the border design I stitched on my HQ Sweet 16.

The HSTs in this little quilt were from scrap bags gifted to me by friends. The sashing and binding are from a small piece I have left of one of my favorite black prints.

I have completed 4 of the hexie flower blocks and have 4 more flowers pinned down and ready. Much of this stitching has been happening as I visit with Mom.

I made another row for my Circa 1880 quilt. Only two more rows to piece, and then I can start sewing them together. Can't believe I am closing in on this one.
I love these little uneven 9-patch blocks. When I was digging through some scraps last month I found a small piece that begged to be fussy-cut. It was enough for four blocks, and I couldn't resist putting them into pincushions.
Still heavily involved in Mom's care, and not getting as much quilting/blogging time as in the past. I'll try to keep up the best that I can.

Until next time,
Janet O.
