Wall Hanging for August is Complete

I am happy to say that I have completed my August OMG at Elm Street Quilts . My original post was here. I am planning to hang this in my spare bedroom because there really is nothing on the walls in there currently. I just need to purchase something to hang it with.


I actually did add the hanging sleeve on the back. It gave me a nice break doing the quilting this.  

I like adding these little tags to the back of my quilts. It just adds something cute.

Also, I love these labels that I buy from Sweetwater. It saves me time because I can just iron this on and sew around the edges. Before I bought these, my quilt would go "unlabeled" for quite a while because I did not want to sew a label. I jut wanted to move on to another project.

August One Monthly Goal - Just My Type Wall Hanging

Well, half of the year is about over and I have actually kept up with my One Monthly Goals. I think I have chosen too many Quilt Alongs to participate in so I keep plugging away at those.

However, for my One Monthly Goal at Elm Street Quilts I would like something else to work on too. So I have decided that I would like to have this wall hanging quilted. I may or may not get the binding on so I'm just choosing to have the quilting done, but it needs basted first so I need to get on that this week.

 This was in a Sew Sampler box in October 2018. I finished the quilt top right away and ordered the finishing kit. But it has been sitting in my "to be quilted" pile since last Fall. I would love to have this completed and hang it on the wall in my spare bedroom.
