Deana: Goals Accomplished!!

I got so much done in February thanks to A Lovely Year of Finishes.  Below is what I accomplished:

Here were my February Goals:

1.  I hope to complete 8 Dear Jane blocks this month which comes to two a week.  It is hard to do more than that with those little 4 1/2" blocks.  You just need a break from them.

BEFORE:

 

FINISHED FEBRUARY 26TH.

2.  Finish the words in "Walking in a Winter Wonderland" as well as the strip of music.  This is a hand embroidery quilt.  I will be at some wrestling tournaments this month where I can do hand work. 

BEFORE:  

FINISHED FEBRUARY 9, 2013  --

I actually finished the entire section...hooray! 

This is where it goes on the quilt.

 


 3.  Finish the quilting on my mom's Utah Quilt.  It is pretty well on its way.  I machine quilt with a regular Bernina.  I don't have a longarm, so it takes me a lot longer.  The strings you see are basting stitches.    

BEFORE:

 Below is my favorite block in the Utah quilt...the covered wagon with a little quilt in the back.

 FINISHED FEBRUARY 5, 2013  -- HOORAY!!

4.  I hope to get 10 WindMill blocks done this month.  They sew up pretty fast except for the black applique centers which I do by hand.  I will be making two queen sized quilts out of these, one for each of my daughters.  I will need a total of 40 blocks.  


Because of all the inquiries I have received over a pattern for this quilt, I am working on a pattern for it and will post it in my Etsy shop soon.  I will post a link on my blog when it is ready.  Please leave a comment with your email if you would like an email when it is ready.

BEFORE:

FINISHED FEBRUARY 24TH.
My goal was 10 blocks and I finished 14 and the last three are very close.

 5.  I hope to get this other quilt of my mom's quilted this month as well. 

 I did not finish this goal but I made great progress.  

I will post a picture next month when it is done.

6.  Number 6 is my Christmas Log Cabin Quilt.  I hope to complete 10 blocks for it.  It looks a little off because it is laying on top of my "Dear Jane" quilt on my design wall.  My snowman quilt is also on the bottom under it.   

BEFORE:
(Sorry, Dear Jane is behind it.)

COMPLETED FEBRUARY 21.  My goal was 10 blocks and I made 16.  Hooray!
