My goal for July is not too exciting but it’s 100% necessary. And of course, I’m once again learning the lesson that I should just do this right away instead of waiting until a week before it needs to be on. That’s right – I need to add hanging sleeves and labels to my quilts for the fair and shows I’ve entered them in. By next week Thursday I need to add a hanging sleeve to…
The Amazing Technicolor Dream Heart
Modern Log Cabin
Novitiate Nebula
Once Upon A Time
for the Lodi Ag Fair. By early Monday morning of July 14th I also need to add a sleeve to..
African Impromptu
for the Belleville Quilt Show – For the love of Quilts. I would say adding the hanging sleeve is one of my least favorite parts of the quilt. I have no problem with sewing on binding…but the sleeve is just not fun. Oh well. The good thing about this is that I’ve also entered these into a few juried shows. If they get in…the sleeves will already be on! Of course – we have a big event happening at our orchard next Tuesday. Nothing like trying to fit everything into just a few days. Wish me luck!

I hate adding sleeves to my quilts, too. Just takes time and is boring. I try to make them the same color as the back so they blend in and I don't have to take them off right away. Have fun!
Terri says
Sorry you have all that boring stuff to do, but we get to see your quilts again. Yum! If I was the judge, you'd be a winner on each one of them. That heart is amazing – well, all of them are.
And you are here in Lodi? I'm just a few jumps away in Orangevale, CA. What's going on at the winery? Which winery? We are always looking for something different to do.
Thanks for showing your quilts again… I'm a rather new follower (maybe a week or two) and haven't seen them before.
Hugs

I hate sewing on sleeves too. And once the show is over, I don't want to take them off because I'm afraid of having to sew it back on. LOVE your heart quilt by the way.

Whenever I see The Amazing Technicolor Dream Heart, it takes my breath away all over again. Such a magnificent piece of art you have created Kim, not that they aren't all beautiful, but that one just seams to take center stage and I hope you are rewarded for your efforts wherever it is shown. Good luck with all your entries!

Love your quilts! Sorry you have to sew on all those sleeves… wish I allowed myself to be inspired by you and sew mine on instead of waiting for the last moment… but I am so glad as a newbie I am now able to see your stunning work!
