Hello blogland! I hope you have had a calm, pleasant, and productive April. I did.
The Chookshed linky party for April is below. Feel free to add a link and visit the others.
My Pineapple quilt top is completed and off to the quilter tomorrow along with the mystery quilt I finished at the retreat last week. Yay! So far I have done well with my goals in this challenge.
How did you do?
This is the mystery quilt. I was able to use up fabrics that didn't have a home or "quilt to live in" from my stash. It will be a donation quilt. I am considering foster care children who have to leave their homes.

For those who have kindly asked about my husband, he is doing much better as far as pain goes. He still hurts all the time, but not nearly as much. His finger is healing. He did not have to have surgery to remove the end of his finger. It may grow back crudely, but it will be functional. Thanks for your concerned comments and emails. We have been managing the care of the horses as a team now as it is difficult for him to do it on his own one handed.

Don't know how to do the link thing but mine is posted on my blog.
ReplyDeleteOooh, such a colourful pineapple plantation!
ReplyDeleteI really like that pineapple quilt I may be tempted myself one day. Your stash quilt I’m sure will find someone to love it. Glad hubbys finger is getting better but more work for you by the sounds of it.
ReplyDeleteapril a total bust for me sewing wise...haven't sewn hardly a stitch for six weeks...hoping my mojo returns soon as i adjust to life without my dear mom...
ReplyDeleteBright sunshiny pineapples ... too sweet.
ReplyDeleteYour mystery quilt is gorgeous.
I've enjoyed checking out the blog links but some of them will not allow me to leave a comment, dont know why. Anyone else have that problem?
ReplyDeleteThat pineapple quilt is such fun with all those bright colors. Congrats on having such a productive 2024. Good to hear that Your Guy is doing better, sorry he still hurts. Hopefully healing will speed up as it gets farther along.
