Hello, friends! Today I’m sharing my Quilt Works in Progress May 2023 post. It has definitely been a busy month in my sewing room. I’ve been sewing with the most gorgeous fabrics behind the scenes and have been checking lots of things off my list! Keep reading for details on what I’m working on and what is coming soon along with this month’s works in progress video.
Quilt Works in Progress May 2023
Late April and Early May Finishes
Since I last posted a works in progress post, I finished up a couple of the projects that were at the top of my list. My Orange Peel pillow in our Bountiful Blooms collection is all finished up, and I also finished up my quilt for the Fat Quarter Shop Bountiful Charity Sew Along. After finishing up those projects I set to work using strike off pieces from our next collection to sew a couple of pillows, a wall hanging, and a table topper. I love making small things with a new collection, so I get a good sense of how I want to use the fabrics together in my larger projects.
Working on Now
Sample yardage for the new collection arrived on May 11th, and I’ve been sewing new quilts nearly every day since it appeared on my doorstep. I’m really enjoying working with this new happy and bright collection and have finished three large quilts and two more table runners since receiving fabric. I have two more quilts to make and a few other small projects on my list with these gorgeous fabrics.

Thankyou so much. You always inspire me just when I’m falling into a slump; when it gets difficult to get motivated. As a senior, living alone, making quilts helps me keep my head above water. It’s a struggle, with ups/downs, to keep going in the negative world we live in. The good old days are gone. It’s been extra difficult this year to keep myself motivated. Your May post has especially inspired me to pick myself up and get back to quilting. Thanks so much for all your posts, and especially for this May post.
