When we drove to and from Buffalo I was able to get a lot of binding stitched.
I took a total of 7 quilts with me, and was able to get 6 of them done.
This first one is a jelly roll of Hawaiian fabric that I picked up on our trip to Maui in January.
I had see a quilt made using this pattern.
Even the white that surrounds it is Hawaiian.

| Turned out pretty good. |

| This is another quilt that was bound on this trip. The top was finished last fall at the retreat in Racine, Wisconsin. It needed a border, and finally got quilted this summer. Originally the quilt was started at a workshop with Sharyn Craig, through Prairie Star Quilt Guild. several years ago. |

| Here is a close up of the quilting. It turned out beautiful. |

| Another one done! This was two kits of fabric. I really liked it. I picked the kits up in Atlanta, from Little Quilts, two different times. I guess you can say I loved it. |

| I have kept busy this summer. This butterfly quilt I made this summer, and had it quilted. One of the fastest I have done. I like how it turned out as well. As you can tell I do enjoy my traveling. but do stay home now and then. While home I do use my time for sewing and cross stitching. More quilts are being made. I love sewing, can you tell? I hope you are have a great summer. I sure have. You can feel that fall is on the edge. Have a great weekend. Mary |

Beautiful quilts! I love the bright colors you chose too. Did you stitch while on the road? Not sure I could do that, though I have crocheted while traveling a boring road.
Wow! What beautiful quilts. Love them all, but am particularly interested in the first one. I zoomed in and could see the fabric. How lovely.
My goodness, girl, you are hostessing your very own quilt show! good job! I especially love your border choices in all those soft restful greens. It makes the whole quilt more mellow.
Great quilts! I don't think I could fit 7 quilts in our car, but what a fantastic way to while away the time.
Such beautiful finishes!
Nice quilts!
