A Lovely Year of Finishes – September Goal Party

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

With my husband having deployed again, I pulled out a project I started during his last deployment. In fact I started it exactly two years ago, September 2012. The top is now sewn and it needs some borders. I want to do a solid border and then a scrappy border. My goal is to get the borders for this made. It is my design and most of the blocks were made by some pretty incredible friends, including the lovely Shanna. This quilt will be for him when he gets home, though considering the time of year he will be getting home I’m not sure how much use he will get out of it at first.

A Lovely Year of Finshes – August Finishes Party

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

Well August is just starting to wrap up and I have to say, this month was another failure. If you have been following my blog this past week you will already know that my husband deployed. This has thrown my life out of whack and shifted my priorities. Some progress was made on my goal, I purchased the fabrics, but I didn’t do anything else. I worked on lots of other things, including an awesome Halloween project for Anne. I am setting a personal goal to have this one done before Halloween but I’m not beating myself up for letting it slip this month.

What was your goal? I hope you were more successful than I was!

A Lovely Year of Finishes – August Goals Party

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

Welcome to August! I am not ready for this month. We have some big things going on that I am just not emotionally prepared for right now. That being said, sewing and quilting help keep me grounded so this month I am going to sew Anne a new Elsa dress. I know Halloween is months away but ever since we went on our family vacation in July she has been living in princess dresses. Time to make her one!

A Lovely Year of Finishes – July Finishes Party

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

Can I just be the first to say that July has been a month? I mean seriously! Traveling for two weeks can throw a girl off her game and then coming home and trying to get back into a routine with a 4 year old who is on a Disneyland high, talk about a challenge.

This was my July goal: to finish my Simply Style hexies.

I did make a lot of progress, but I am about 80 shy of my goal right now. We will see if I make it, if not, I am going to completely forgive myself. After all, piecing these will probably take me a year so what’s another month!

What about you? How did you do?
