2015 Finishes

A Lovely Year of Finishes – June Goal Party

 alyof2015

I finished my May goal on Friday – it was to finish quilting a challenge quilt for the Pacific Northwest Modern Quilt Guilds. The challenge was to use black and white fabrics with a pop color (optional) and make a quilt measuring larger than 25″ on all sides.  My goal for June is to get it bound, put a sleeve on it and submit it to the Quilt! Knit! Stitch! show.

Can A Girl Get A Refund? And A Quilt Reveal…

If I was to tell you that 2015 is just not working out so well for me, would you take me at my word? In addition to all the things that have gone wrong with my fridge and house, then family and friends who passed away at the beginning of the month, for some reason Anne and I both decided to top off February with two separate trips to the ER. One for me –  I sliced my finger open (learned a new rule – if you can make it talk, go to the doc); and one for Anne – she had her first ever headache and we couldn’t figure out what was going on.  Needless to say I’m exhausted and would like a refund on the last 2 months!

I haven’t been able to sew much this week, something about one of my hands being bandaged and both hurting because I can’t take my RA meds – they impede healing.  That being said, I still have a reveal for you!

I enjoyed making this quilt. It felt like too much pink so the backing is bright green with large flowers.

Here is one more pic all folded up:

Today we have two inspectors coming to check the damage to my floors and assess for mold so I am putting good energy out into the universe that we have good answers. I can live with the warped floors but I can’t live with mold. Please send us some good vibes!

Have a great Wednesday!
