I had a simple list for May so I could enjoy May For Me - my birthday month. First up was my Let's Book It project - the simple one block wonder. It was also used for my second list item - Slow Stitching Sunday. I did the dreaded needleturn applique and the quick large stitch quilting.
To celebrate May For Me I took part in the SewMaMaSew and held a week giveaway - having you all celebrate my month really was a pleasure. And I had the pleasure of being a guest blogger for Hands to Help.
The third and last thing on my list was RSC15 - I made all my RSC15 GREEN blocks thru the month. I still have a LOT of green!!
I had the pleasure of fitting in a random act of kindness and did up a doll quilt with little dolly for a surprise gift for a friend.
And I finished the Batik 'Island Chain' quilt. A lot of straight line quilting - very time consuming but such a great affect.
With a simple month, I realized I needed to some clearing out. Remember the dumped fabrics? Well they got sorted into 4 piles of possibilites.
The greens and yellow went into a simiple log cabin baby quilt and I added some giraffes from a scrap I had tucked away.
They are easier to see here. I used a simple 'ribbon' quilting across the quilt and raw-edge stitched around the giraffes and then echoed .
The dark plaids and wovens went into a bow tie quilt. I have the first border on here - actually I have the outer border on it now too, but it is huge and hard to display. I am going to send this to a long armer on Tuesday.
The other two quilts - one is at the binding stage and one is at the row assembly stage.
I had a grand May and look forward to June - Middle of the Year.
Sewingly yours,

So much eye candy here, Sharon. The doll quilt is just the sweetest and I love how you added the giraffes to the baby quilt.
What a lovely set of quilts! The giraffes are adorable, and I love what you did with the stripes on the back and the binding.
