The frog

Awarded to me for the queen seam ripper.  This is much better than passing the ceramic frog.

May Goals (April shortcomings)

It is hard for me to believe that April is almost over.  I managed to put my Lewis and Clark quilt together and put the borders on, and I did put the borders on my orphan block churn dash quilt.  I have all my bindings done except one.  I fell short on my quilting goals.  I hope to work on some of these during the first week of May.
  1. Quilt 2 more customer quilts.- Working on this one still
  2. Put together the blocks for Lewis and Clark quilt.  I did manage to get the alternate blocks made in March
  3. Put borders on my 4-patch quilts set on point.- I really did try to get this done but I didn't have the right color fabric
  4. Put the last border on the Churn dash blocks
  5. Bind the remaining 4 quilts from January  1 left to go
  6. Put together a new project that I cut out- Carry over to May
  7. Quilt the pillows/runners that I made in February (after number 1-4 is completed)-Carry over to May
May focus will be on QUILTING!....and baseball, softball and track....
  1. Quilt 4 quilts
  2. Quilt the pillow/runners that I made in February.
  3. Put together my new pear quilt during the May Retreat
  4. Continue to work on the FW blocks.
  5. Get some of my UFOs ready to quilt (cut the batting and make sure I have backings and bindings made)
I have been stuck at 22 finishes from the UFO list for several months.  I am still working on these UFOs, but I haven't had any finishes.  The goal is 35, so I need to get busy!  Many of these are are ready to be quilted and bound.
