April - A Lovely Year of Finishes

How's it going?

I have a quick post this morning

on my April project for

A Lovely Year of Finishes

A family member will be having a hip replacement

this month, so I thought she would be in need of a quilt.

I've had my postage stamp

from ps i quilt

done for quite a while, but never bound.

(why do I do that?? finish quilts but take forever to bind them)

I'm crazy like that.

So, I decided she would get this quilt,

which means I need to get it bound!

I'm looking forward to making another one of these quilts too.

I just love the look.

I used Central Park by Kate Spain along with white Bella solid.

Makes for a beautiful quilt!

So my April project is to bind this quilt

and also so the April BOM for Lucky Stars

by Don't Call Me Betsy.

I know we are only supposed to pick one project,

but I need to keep up with my BOM,

so in order for myself not to fall behind,

it's just a given that this little block will be included with my monthly finish.

:)

I'm dying to know what projects you're working on!!

Spill the beans kids!

A Lovely Year of Finishes - March

Happy Easter to those of you who celebrate!!

I just have a minute for a quick post

(once again, in the nick of time!!)

for my project post for 

A Lovely Year of Finishes

Here was my goal

I signed up to do the Lucky Stars BOM

by Don't Call Me Betsy

and as of the end of February, I hadn't started yet.

So my 'to do' for A Lovely Year of Finishes in March

was to complete the four blocks I was behind in making.

(a practice block, January, February & March blocks)

Here they are in all their glory!

(the purple & yellow is the practice block,

which will go on the back of the quilt.)

I needed a whole lot of work in the paper piecing department,

which is why I signed up for this BOM.

I have to say I'm pretty proud of my accomplishment!

Now it's time to run off to my mom's for Easter dinner.

Yummy!!

I look forward to seeing what you all have been up to!

A Lovely Year of Finishes - March Goal

I'm excited to be blogging a little more this month.

 

I  needed to get signed up for the next project for

A Lovely Year of Finishes.

 

I am still in shock that it's March already.

I cannot let this year get away from me yet again!

Guess it's time for me to grab my lasso,

hop on my horse,

and pull the reigns on the year

to slow it down a bit.

Yeah.

I have control like that.

LOL

 

So my project for this month is to start and finish

the 4 blocks assigned so far for the BOM I signed up for

on Don't Call Me Betsy's blog.

It's a foundation paper piece block of the month
(and for those of you not familiar with BOM,

BOM = Block Of the Month).

I need a lot of practice with paper piecing,

which is why I signed up for this,

which is why I haven't started it.

LOL

 

It's called Lucky Stars.

You can read about it

HERE

 

 

So, there ya go.

My goal.

My project.

My out on a limb,

make me grow

kinda thingy.

 

Wish me luck

and wish that I keep all the hair in my head

and the chocolate out of my mouth.

 

:o)
