July 2013 One Mile Challenge Update

It was another month with less than stellar production.  In June I didn’t finish a single quilt so July was marginally better with ONE finish.  For some reason I’m just not finding time to get in the sewing room.  I was all set with a new audiobook from the library (Jodi Picoult’s The Storyteller) but that book turned out to be a big bust.  It has hundreds of good reviews on Amazon and the story about a World War II war criminal sounded interesting but I found the story line way too contrived and formulaic.  Maybe something was lost in the translation from printed page to audio but I couldn’t get past the characters in the book:  Adam and Eva, Josef and Maria, and Sage, Pepper and Saffron.  I burst out laughing just typing that!!  Anyway, it was too much like a Lifetime movie.  This morning I downloaded The Invisible Bridge by Julie Orringer onto my ipod from Overdrive.  It sounds like a more realistic historical fiction novel so we’ll see how it goes.  I’m hoping it is so engaging I don’t want to stop quilting!

The one and only July finish was the Half and Half Quilt made from “A Day in the Country” fat quarters.

DITC-1

I quilted this with the Jilly pantograph that was still on the frame from the last QBB quilt I did.  The soft curves look nice with the geometric design of the quilt.

DITC-4

This quilt was just about 9 yards so that put me over 200 yards used—206 to be exact wit 1,554 to go!  For sure it’s taking longer than I thought!!
