Finish....well a previous finish

Finish....well a previous finish

It's been about a week and a half since I had this finish but I wanted to be sure that the recipient didn't see it beforehand.  Word is that she loved it and there were requests for me to make quilt for people.  What a compliment that is!  Hopefully after the next state fair I will be ready to sell my quilts and accept requests.  Hope you enjoy this finish!

I unfortunately had a lot going on this month and didn't finish everything on my list.  I will do my update on Tuesday and hopefully be able to share my latest finish.  Hope you all have a great day! Until next time.

FMQ Friday

This week has been full of quilting! I have been chugging along trying to finish the quilt for my MIL.  I have a couple hours left but I love how it has turned out thus far. When I told her that I should be finished this weekend she was very excited.  I love it when the ideas that I have planned out actually turn out well. 

My favorite part so far has been the tree branch and the swirling air! I hope to post the finished product by Sunday.  Hope you have a great weekend.  

Until next time,

Holly

February recap

February Recap

I know that each month I mention how fast the month flies by, but looking at my only two posts from February I am not exaggerating.  This month has been full of working on projects, playing with my daughter and stress!!! Overall I had a successful month as far as losing weight.  I didn't make my goal of losing 10 pounds but I did lose almost 4.  I am about 7 pounds away from losing all my baby weight yay!!

As far as quilting I have been pretty busy.  I started the month off with wanting to accomplish a lot of tasks!

- 2nd paper pieced block

Finished!

Pattern from Quiet Play blog

I enjoyed making this cookie pot but I did have some issues with the lid.

-Quilt sister-in-laws baby quilt
I am having to create a different quilt for my sister-in-law since the set she bought is pretty close to the same idea that I had made.  More on this quilt in a bit.

-Make mothers quilt top
My MIL and I went to Joann's to see if she liked any of the panels.  She did so I basted the quilt and have started to quilt it.

I have a couple of panels to finish but it shouldn't take long.

-Make 6 mini heart quilts

I didn't get to this but I did complete a library bag for my daughter with a paper pieced owl.

Goals for March

-Lose another 5 pounds.
-Finish quilting MIL quilt- March 30 deadline
-Quilt monkey quilt for friend at church- Deadline mid April
-Piece and baste SIL quilt
-March block
-Easter dress for H

Looking forward to a longer month! Until next time!
