Sew Sunshine

Not sure that is the correct name I want to give this quilt but it is how I am feeling. I have lots of flaws, lessons learned, and techniques tried though. There is also a bit of blood, sweat and tears but I am choosing to have 'Satisfaction' playing in my head right now.      Skillbuilder QAYG BOM QAL is done. Started in 2013 and finished 3/28/14...yeah me! My picture is not great as usual but there really was some blood involved in making this quilt. I snagged a pin through the skin on the tip of my thumb while putting the binding on. Not a place to put a band-aid so there is some of my personal signature on this quilt. It is okay it was practice and skill building for me and will be lovely with all it's flaws on my couch. :) Putting the pieces together had me sweating a bit and when I carefully pinned and lined up the rows with the binding and they did not match up as pinned. So you guessed it there were a few tears...but I did not stop, I did not pop, I ...

Winds are blowing here at about 40 mph and my sewing machine is going almost as fast. I really really really want to get at least one of my 1st Quarter goals done before the end of the month.  My AYoLF for March is one of my goals too so I am putting the pedal to the metal. I am letting nothing get in my way.   *Nope not even the wind blowing the gutter off the side of the house...seriously!  The wind was so strong it picked up our 4 1/2' grill and tossed it around the patio like a toy. Good thing it is hooked to the house by a gas line. I just phoned my husband and went back to quilting. ha :)   Skillbuilder work in progress! I finished the last six blocks and finished quilting them. The Skillbuilder BOM blocks are QAYG. You can see more about them over at PileoFabrics.com. This is last years blocks...sigh.  I have them trimmed and ready to glue baste.    20 Blocks complete. Strips cut and starched and ready to glue. I am not sure abo...

  1 of 20 blocks and 1 of 10 I have to quilt   I wasn't sure I was going to pick this for my goal (still not) but I have to commit to something and this is taking up the most usable space in several rooms. I am going to choose to work on my Skillbuilder QAYG blocks from 2013. I have slowly made progress and finished the last 10 blocks but don't have them quilted. If I make a plan maybe it will get done.  I will need some luck on this project.  Linking up with A Lovely year of finishes  HERE
