A Lovely Year of Finishes – May 2015 Goals

15 Comments / A Lovely Year of Finishes, Fiber of All Sorts, Sew BitterSweet Designs Patterns / By Melissa Dunworth

May is going to be a very busy month for our family. Anne has a couple of doctor’s appointments, her ballet recital and we have family coming in. I would love to say I am picking an easy goal, but the jokes on me and I’m not picking something easy at all!

I’ve already successfully pieced a couple of test blocks and one actual block. I’m really happy with how it is turning out! Wish me luck as this will be entered in the upcoming Quilt! Knit! Stitch show.

A Lovely Year of Finishes – April Finishes Party

5 Comments / A Lovely Year of Finishes, Fiber of All Sorts / By Melissa Dunworth

So how did April go for you? Was it all you imagined? Did the finishes just pile up around you? Mine…not so much. I finished a baby quilt, but that wasn’t the quilt I intended to finish this month. Oops! I am halfway done with the binding on my goal quilt so I will keep plugging away and hopefully finish it before the end of the month.

Do share, did you finish your April goal?

A Lovely Year of Finishes – April Goal Party

10 Comments / A Lovely Year of Finishes, Fiber of All Sorts / By Melissa Dunworth

Shanna from Fiber of All Sorts and I are so excited to see so many of you meeting small and large goals with A Lovely Year of Finishes.

~~~

This month is going to be hectic for us. My bottom floor is being moved out this Friday (along with my sewing studio), and our floors are being re-done during spring break. After that’s done I get to unpack and re-organize our house. Because we will be in a hotel for a week I prepped two hand work projects and one is a must finish because it is my homecoming gift for my hubs. I need to sew the binding down on his welcome home quilt.

It is all quilted, done by the wonderful Vicki from Orchid Owl Quilts. I will do a full reveal with the quilt is done!

I can do it.
