July was a super creative month for me. Inspired by 14carrot's textile art, I acquired some bee and honeycomb charms with matching findings to make a necklace and earrings set.
I think I might be making more jewelry projects in the future, too -- I forgot how fun it is.
I finished embroidering another row of patchwork on my recycled linen quilt.
I taught myself how to make my own hair scrunchies (another thing I'll never have to buy again!)
I quilted the two small panels from my 9 lb. Goodwill haul to make some bowl mats for the pups.
I finished two of someone else's UFO projects from one of the Goodwill online auction lots: an applique kitchen towel and patchwork table runner.
I made a 100% recycled quilted bespoke bag from the summer issue of GreenCraft Magazine, using only scraps from one of the Goodwill online auction lots, and embroidery threads leftover from other projects.
I made my first series of mini art quilts with this trio, inspired by the cover project from the summer issue of Art Quilting Studio.
I turned some scraps from another Goodwill lot into a new light-blocking cage cover for the birds.
Using two more of 14carrot's quilted art pieces and some thrifted fabric, I made covers for two new sketchbooks.
Another reason I like thrifted fabric: I can use it to make experiments, like my new reversible dust cover for my sewing machine (more on that in another post.)
Finally I kept up with my calendar scroll stitch project for another month. Whew! Onward to August. :)
