I love the June Tisket a Tasket block designed by Anne of Bunny Tales..actually, each month I think the latest block is my favorite, until the new one comes out! Now that I have six blocks completed, I can put together the top half of the quilt!
Even though it’s been pretty busy around here, I managed to finish a much-needed household project. Back when I first started blogging I won an ironing board cover kit and pattern from Nadine at The Material Girls Quilt Shop. Well, last week I finally got tired of my old, stained cover and made this! I love it…looking at this fun Michael Miller print actually makes ironing fun…sort of (of course all ironing is fun if it’s quilt-related…it’s just the normal, every day ironing that isn’t always so fun)!
And…we survived graduation! Here is a four-generation picture of me, Chelsi, my Mom and my Grandmother. Now that all the festivities are over and summer has arrived there should be lots of sewing going on here!Have a wonderful day!

You've just reminded me that I must get at my T-A-T blocks now that all my swap gifts are done. I'm two months behind, but actually 4 blocks because I do one in all cotton and the other in wool on cotton.
What a beautiful photo of the 4 generations of the women in your family.
Your ironing board cover is wonderful. I wouldn't want to use it!
Tara says
It's so true that ironing is fun if it's quilt related! I thought I hated it, but nope–just hate ironing clothes!
Carrie P. says
What a great photo of the four of you together.
I just love our basket block. You always pick out the cutest fabrics.
Your ironing board is pretty stylish too.

What a nice family picture!
I love that ironing board cover. I just had to replace mine, but it's just plain. I should have gotten some fun fabric instead.
And your basket block is darling!
Stephanie says
Your basket is so "tweet". LOVE the cute fabric on your ironing board cover. Your daughter looks just like you. What a wonderful moment to have 4 generations together.

Your block is so cute! I agree Anne's blocks just get cuter every month.
I love your ironing board cover, so cute!
CJ says
I love your basket. I am not doing the basket a month thing but I love seeing them. This months is DEFINITELY my favorite so far. I think I can say with certainty that I will NEVER make my own ironing board cover, as cute as yours is….I would rather be sewing something ELSE! Congratulations to the graduate. LOVE the 4 generation photo. Sweet.
Sara says
Those blocks are so pretty! Also your cover rocks! Nice and funky!
Congrats to your daughter!

You got right on to making your June block! And a fine job you did. Love your use of the floral fabric.
Vicki says
Yay Chelsi! Off to bigger and hopefully, better things. She'll miss your cooking though, and the first thing she'll notice when she gets back home the first time is how FULL your frig is!! Funny little things like that…Love the bag!!
Kerry says
And look at your pretty bag!!!
Ginny says
Love the bag you're carrying!! Our family has had 4 generations of proud Pirate graduates. Too fun!
dotti white says
Sherri…thanks for sharing the graduation picture of Chelsi and the others in your family. I think it is very precious! Your ironing board cover is sweet–I need to recover mine this summer, too! Have a wonderful week!
Terriaw says
Congratulations to your daughter on her graduation! That is huge! What next? That basket block is cute. Are you going to put all of them into one quilt? I desperately need a new cover for my ironing board, but I'm too lazy to make one. Good for you!
Karen says
How cute is that basket! I can't wait to get started on mine.
Dawn says
Everything looks great! Congrats to Chelsi!
Nedra says
Congratulations on your daughters graduation. and I noticed a Nanette bag on your arm. I've been working on another one today. Enjoy summer!
Dawn Heese says
I love your block. I had great intentions to do the block of the month and keep up but it's not happening. I will have to be satisfied looking at everyone else's.

Hi Sherri,
First I have to tell you, you are so lucky to have 4 generations. What a Blessing.
Your block is so cute, I've made copies of them all, but not one started.
Cute ironing board cover and if it makes it fun to iron, mabe I need to try it.
Keep Stitchen'

Darlene says
I'm behind with my T-A-T blocks – must take time to catch up. Yours is adorable – it's my favorite basket, as well.
Way to go, Chelsi – congrats!
Terrific picture of 4 generations!
Catherine says
Hi Sherri, Love your June Tiskit basket and love your blog!! Cathy
Sherry says
Congrats to Chelsi! Nice 4 generation picture. 🙂 I love how your ironing board cover turned out, not to mention your block 6 of Anne's BOM. I still have to get my block 6 done & do my hand stitching on all of them. Where do you find the time? LOL I for sure have too many irons in the fire!
Nanette Merrill and daughters says
Aw I love the 4 generations picture. If things work out, you could have 5 generations there in a few years! I know, bite my tongue.
The ironing board cover is great. I won that too at Material Girls. I didn't ever get my pattern but I do have fabric. I need to do it NOW! My ironing board cover is awful. Nedra's coming on the 19th to my house so that might motivate me.
Your June block is cuter than Anne's! shhh I won't tell.
Candace says
Love that T-A-T, Sherri! And the ironing board cover has me drooling – great fabric! How wonderful that you have 4 generations of women still together – what a beautiful picture!
Cheers!
Chocolate Cat says

Way too late – but CONGRATS to the graduate! What a beautiful picture of you four…!
Ah, the ironing board reminds me that I already bought some fabric from IKEA to cover my ugly & dirty ironing board…it looks at me reproachfully everytime I pull it out of the closet…;O)
Your basket is just SWEET (heehee) – and I totally know what you mean, I always think the next block can't be cuter than the last but when it's published I'm proved wrong….*g*
