February New FO




Well here are some starts for this month.

This is for a retreat class.

This is for another class at the same retreat.

that's really the only 2 starts I have for this month. Now next month might be a different story. I just got back from Sew Expo and got some new projects there. I'll post pics in the next post.

Hooking up to New FO. Check it out.

February LYOF

My Lovely Year of Finishes is complete!!!! Yay!!!!
It is quilted, bound and ready to go along with a small pillow made from the left over block.
I am posting an older pic of the project because I dropped my camera and although it still works, it's really a hassle to open it up to get the SD card out cause it's all taped shut.
The original post is here
Linking up to LYOF. Check out what others have completed this month.

Progress Report 2-17 thru 2-23

Still don't feel like I'm getting too much done. Just can't seem to get in motion. Oh well. here's what I got done for the week.
Monday-At LQS for Marti & Me Club and Open Sew.
Tuesday-2 mile walk, came home and spent day getting paperwork and info ready to go to the accountant for taxes on Thursday.
Wednesday-Housework and laundry, finished up Costa Maya top (class I am teaching at retreat).


Thursday-To accountant, came home and had our monthly quilt group meeting.
Friday-Worked on sample for 2nd class I will teach at quilt retreat. This is my own design and I will have the pattern available in a couple of weeks. I also made a sample for the Marti & Me Club.

This is a table runner and since the theme this year at retreat is Piece, Love & Quilting, I have named it Feelin' Groovy.
Saturday-at LQS to teach #3 class of Beginning Quilting.
Today is Slow Stitching Sunday and I will be working on the Hexies that I have been working on for a while. Hooking up to Kathy's SSS. Check it out to see what others are working on.
