Ah ya ya, what a month. Between running a marathon during 40 degree pouring rain (yes, that whole-heartedly sucked but I’m glad I did it), business at work, family visiting, and throwing my wonderful husband a 30th bday party, it has been one crazy month. Let’s take a look back at the goals for March and see how I did:
Here are my goals for March:
- Finish quilting on Quilt #2 of the This n That twin quilts
Finished! - Sew on labels and embroider name plates for the This n That twin quilts. Then GIFT them (perhaps the bestest part of quilting, my friends!)
Finished and gifted! – (To be blogged) - Buy fabric for background and binding on the Here n There twin quilts to match the Parson Gray backing and prints I already have.
Finished! (March 1st at that!) - Cut fabric for Here N There twin quilts (I know – baby steps [no pun intended] – but I like crossing lots of steps off!)
Finished! - Finish both quilt tops for Here n There twin quilts
Finished!Most definitely NOT finished. I have gotten through the majority of the piecing which means I have a huge stack of pieced strips with seams to be pressed. Hoping to make much more progress this week. - (If time) Cut fabrics for planned patchwork quilt from April Showers charm pack and Kona white
Half-finished (that counts as something, right?). I cut all of the charm squares while I was working on the Here N There twin quilts, but need to cut up the Kona white now.
Overall, some definite progress forward. I knew this month would be a struggle with my schedule, but I still managed to finish and gift two baby quilts and move forward on three more baby quilts. I also worked on finished several side projects that were not quilt related. 1) a fabric pennant banner for hubs bday party 2) a burlap painted pennant banner (15′ ?) for hubs bday party 3) a new dog bed for Sir Oliver from duck cloth (for <$8!) and 4) a waist apron for dog treats to use at agility class with Oliver next month using leftover duck cloth. #winning I’m excited to get back into a productive groove for April – especially since I reorganized took over the guest bedroom in our house to make a sewing nook where I can leave my stuff out and ready to work on in small increments. No more kitchen table sewing! And with that, I’ll leave you with some snapshot of this month!
