This week I have a very simple goal. I want to take the fabrics below and make a purse.
I am planning on make the Lucy Hobo bag by Clover and Violet. I have been needing a new purse and this one just really fits my style!
Wish me luck! Purses almost always get me, but thus far the directions have been really well written!
Woohoo! We have reached the end of February. Were you able to get your goal finished? Here is mine from the beginning of the month:
I have finished the hoodie – I will reveal pictures next week. Anne had fun doing a little photo shoot on an abnormally sunny day here in rainy Washington. She did decide that she didn’t want ears or horns on it, which I’m fine with because it definitely looks giraffy enough to me.
Shanna and I are so excited to see what you have been sewing this month!

I love when I finish up a quilt. I love it even more when I know those quilts will be providing warmth and comfort to someone in need. On Saturday I finished up 2 special quilts that are being donated to the Hopeful Threads 2014 Quarter 1 project.
Without further ado, here are the 2 quilts that I helped make for the Trust Circle of Do Good Stitches. For my month as quilter I requested I-Spy blocks with Kona Ash as a solid. I got back some amazing blocks!
Here is the boy quilt:
Here is the back of the quilt:
Here is the baby girl quilt:

I’m so happy the sun came out for a bit yesterday so I could snap these quick shots off!
Thank you to the wonderful and talented ladies of the Trust Circle of Do Good Stitches!
On Monday my husband bought me a present and then took a picture of me with it. I thought you might have some fun captioning it!
Yesterday was another holiday here in the states, which meant my hubby was home and it was a family day. Normally I love family days but this one cost us $600.00 and after Friday (also a family day) cost us another $650, it was a bit of a painful weekend. In case no one ever told you, cars are expensive!
That being said, I need to sew out of my stash now more than ever…so my goal this week is to work on one of my first quarter FAL goals. I’ve finished 2 of my goals already and I would love to make some progress on my third one.
As this is a short week, I want to simply make a quilt back for the test version of my Riley Blake Challenge quilt which I revealed here.
I already have the backing fabrics pulled, I just need to assemble a very small star for the back. At least the star for the back is small in comparison to the one on the front…
So that’s it. I blew last week’s goal out of the water and completely finished both NICU quilts which I will be revealing as soon as I can get some decent pictures, living in Western Washington, we haven’t had too much snow this year, but we are in the midst of one heck of a rain storm complete with some flooding.
How are your goals coming along?
