OMG (One Monthly Goal) for May

Patty at Elm Street Quilts is the hostess for the One Monthly Goal (OMG) program.
It is now time to link up for the May 2019 edition of:





Well, as my quilting machine has been barricaded due to some electrical work that needs to be done it appears that my May 2019 OMG has  been decided for me. . . . .


I will be binding "The Beast".

I am hoping that Mr. Books made enough binding. . . . but we will see at it goes.


Luckily my sewing machine did not need to be hidden away so that I can get the binding sewn onto the front side of the quilt.  After that it will be hand stitching to get the back side down.


Check out all the others who have committed to moving a project along here.




In peace and pieces,


Sherry

OMG (one monthly goal) for April. . . The Beast Has Been Slayed!

The **giant** quilt that Mr. Books made for his eldest grandson has been quilted!

Here is the front. . . it consists of all of the sports teams that he loves

The back is more team, and sports themed, fabrics

This quilt is huge. . . . but it has been quilted and now just awaits the binding so that it can be presented.


I am glad that it is finished!  LOL



Be sure to check out all the other OMG's that have been completed in April over at Patty's blog, Elm Street Quilts.


In peace and pieces,
Sherry

FAL (Finish A Long) Quarter #2 project listing

WOW! I can't believe that it is time to make a list for things that I hope to finish in the 2nd quarter.


Where is the time going??!!


Seeing as how I did not get everything from my 1st quarter list done there will be a lot of repeats.


Here goes with the list:


1.  Complete a quilt that my husband pieced

I have not started the quilting on it because I have been a little under the weather.  But I am hoping to get a good start on it on Saturday while he is "playing train".


2. My Four Patch Stacked Posy quilt


Here are a sample of some of the blocks.

They have all been sewn into rows.

But now the rows need to be put together so that I have a completed quilt top to quilt.


3.  My birdhouse quilt


I am not sure how many quilt blocks I have done. . .but there is at least one that is completed:

And there are only 9 blocks in the quilt:

So I should be able to get this one done. . .I think.


These three projects should be enough to carry me through. . . there is still enough wiggle room if I decide to work on something else in between.


Check out Sarah's blog to see what other crafty people are planning on getting done this quarter.


In peace and pieces,


Sherry

April OMG (One Monthly Goal). . . .this is a biggie!

As a new month begins so does the opportunity to link up with like minded quilters to "get 'er done" through One Monthly Goal hosted by Elm Street Quilts.





For April I have a *big* project. . . quilting a quilt that Mr. Books has pieced.

I completely did not think of taking a picture of the quilt when we had it laid out to get the batting cut. . . but it was loaded onto the frame last night and is ready for the quilting to start.


I believe that this is the largest quilt that I have done on our frame. . . it will be interesting to see how long it will take me to quilt it.  Just loading the batting and quilt top gave my back a work out and I could not start the quilting last night.


But even if I do one or two passes every couple of days there should be no problem getting this quilted by the end of the month.


Instead of being really ambitious with goals I think I will just stick with this one. . .and work on other things that might show up on next month's list.


You can find all the other projects that are being worked on this month by going here.


In peace and pieces,


Sherry
