I got so much done in February thanks to A Lovely Year of Finishes. Below is what I accomplished:
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.
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.
I actually finished the entire section...hooray!
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.
Below is my favorite block in the Utah quilt...the covered wagon with a little quilt in the back.
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.
5. I hope to get this other quilt of my mom's quilted this month as well.
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.
Here were my February Goals:
