One Monthly Goal for March



It is March and it is time to set this month's goal. There was only one choice for me and that is to finish February's goal. I did make some progress but I didn't make it to the 18 blocks I set myself.
I had 18 blocks left to make which I did manage to complete 9. So this month I need to complete the remaining 9 blocks. The ones I have completed.
They are cut out, so I need to sew them together.


I have linked my post to Elm Street Quilts so pop over and check out what everyone is working on.

Until Next Time

February's One Monthly Goal Project

January's project done. Now what do I want to do in February. There is a number of projects that need to be completed. The list is long and what do I choose out of all of them, the newest project. Yes that's right, not one that has been hanging around 12 months or longer in some cases but the newest one. I want to finish all the blocks in my Desert Sky quilt which we started during January.



I have done 18 so only another 18 to go. It should be interesting challenge. I am not sure if I can do it but I will try.

Desert Sky Workshop

On Saturday we had the Desert Sky workshop on in store. It has been an eagerly awaited workshop, with a stunning pattern and a new teacher. There was four of us in class to learn the best ways to foundation paper piece. It is something I really needed help with. I have tried it a few times some with ok results and some with I am going to throw this in the bin if I have to unpick it again.

It was  a hot day and I had all the fans with the air conditioner going trying to keep us cool. It was an enlightening morning session and we were amazed we cut all the quilt blocks ready to sew. Preparation is the key she told us.




We had a great day learning, playing with fabrics, cutting, sewing, and enjoying each others company. We made plans for future workshops. Three of us did complete 4 blocks each and started on the next batch. So hopefully we will cruise through the rest of the blocks since they are cut. I will be working on mine during Sunday session of Project Uninterrupted. Why not since everything is laid out in sewing order.



Watch out for more details on the Fractured Paintbox Workshop with Elizabeth which will be held on the 11th March in store. This workshop uses precut 2 1/2" strips, so maybe you have some jelly rolls in your stash that you would like to use, this may be the workshop for you.
