May OMG (one monthly goal) plans

Patty at Elm Street Quilts has posted the link for the May OMG Goals.  You can get there by clicking here.





For my May goal I want to get my charity challenge quilt top quilted and bound ready to donate through Hands2Help.  (You can get there by clicking the highlighted words.)







Here is a picture of the quilt top:

Once that is done I have plans on completing the quilt top that I started for the 30 Blocks in 30 Days blog hop.  You will find the start of the blog hop here.



Here's a picture of the blocks laid out:

You can see my original posting about it here.


Then, if there is any month left, I have blocks from the New Years' Eve mystery from Merry Mayhem that I would like to get sewn together so that I can decide on borders.


That should keep me out of trouble for the month.  But, if there is time left I have some more zippered pouches using placemats that I want to get done.


In peace and pieces,

OMG (One Monthly Goal) February plans

Well, I am so happy that my January OMG goal was achieved!  It was great to start the new year off to a great start.


The time has now come to post what I want to accomplish in February.


Hmmmm, well, I just found out that I need a baby quilt.  And I am ahead of the game because I have three Turning Twenty quilt tops done. . . and they are packaged with their backings and battings.  Now, where exactly did I put them?


I will post a picture here once I can find both the quilt tops and my camera.


Since I only have to do the quilting and binding for the baby quilt I think I should pick another project to push forward.


Ok, this one is pretty easy. . . . it is a felted wool table runner that has languished in my UFO pile for at least 20 years.  I did get some work done on it last year. . . but it is still not done.


Here is a picture of what the finished project should look like:

Here's a picture of where my project is:

Pretty sad, right??!!  LOL


On the bright side, I have all of the pieces cut out so it is just a matter of stitching them down.  This is something that I can work on while listening to my books on tape. . .and it gives me an excuse to stay out of the basement while it is so cold here in New Jersey.


Are you ready to take the plunge and commit to finishing things?  Check here:

OMG Progress for January 2018

Well, I am almost ready to start my "happy dance". . . .the pink & green quilt is almost done. . . . .


As in, the binding is on and is being stitched down.


I can't find my camera so this is a picture of the quilt, on our full-sized bed, but it is not quilted.  Trust me, the quilting is done now and as soon as I find the camera, or figure out how to upload a picture from my iPad you will see it.

This poor quilt has languished for at least 7 years. . . .and by this weekend it will be winging itself toward California as a donation for the Franklin Fire victims.


Having to be accountable, and having to post blog entries about a project seems to be what I need in order to "git 'er done".


Now I need to decide what my February goal will be.


In peace and pieces,


Sherry
