August has been a productive month. Let’s start with my smallest finish. I’ve been blogging recently about participating in the AG Bee hosted by Alison Glass. This month we had the opportunity to sign up for a mug rug swap. My assigned partner shared that she likes blue and purple colors. A tutorial was provided for a 6.5” x 9.5” mug rug. I really liked the FPP bee hovering above a flower pattern that was provided (but not required), so I decided to make it for the right side of the mug rug. For the left side of the mug rug, I used the bonus ribbon block from Alison Glass’ Trinket pattern. Here’s a pic of the front of the mug rug. I attempted to make the photo somewhat artistic, but the darn grasshoppers have been chomping on my cosmos flowers. The second pic shows a less obscured shot of the front.

And a boring pic of the back:

I made two doll quilts for a couple of girls who are important to my bestie, Mary, and me. I actually call them “Teeny Quilts” because maybe these little girls have some stuffed animals that need to be covered by a quilt. Mary designed both quilts from my bin of 2.5” squares, and the finished teeny quilts measure 16” x 19.5”.

I also finished my On-Point Halloween quilt, blogged Here.

I paper-pieced the second-to-the-last block for the Frightful Fun BOM that I am participating in.

I also made the Leo block for the Starry Signs BOM:

And lastly I made a 8.5” unfinished block for AG Bee Monthly Challenge where we were challenged to use a favorite color in a new or different way. I decided to use a pretty red violet Alison Glass fabric as the background of a white star.

My other August activity was to sell some fabric from my stash at the Fiber Flea Market in Santa Fe on August 23rd. I did quite well with over $750 in sales!

What’s Up in September?

My main focus in September is to finish my Frightful Fun Halloween quilt. The Haunted Mansion block drops on September 1st. I also plan to make the next Starry Signs block and the AG September Color Challenge block. Anything else will be gravy!
