My February Quilting Goals

Finally I am here to post again. I thought I was going to have a great start to 2011 and then I ended up with knee pain, trouble walking, on to crutches, followed by knee surgery, and now I am in PT. So I am off to one slow start.

My sewing goals for January and February? Let's see now this gets easier since January is gone.

For February I would like to:

1) Finish my Kansas Troubles Swap blocks I started in January
Here is the lovely fabric cut in strips and ready to sew:



2) Make a table runner for the living room to cover a pizza box white stain *arg* on my teak coffee table. Pattern is French Roses and fabric is mostly Martinique, one of my all time favorite collections.



And the fabric came all folded up in this neat little stack, don't you love to get fabric like this?



3) Complete a quilt top for someone very special. shhh it is a surprise! I will show you the fabrics when they come in :) More to come on this...... and it may continue on into March.

4) Make some cupcake hot pads. Sweet, huh? Take a look at this cute pattern, isn't it darling?



Thanks for stopping by, and please leave me a comment so I know you were here! I hope you get to quilt or scrapbook today!

One of my goals for December is to give a gift each day in December. Today I managed to give three gifts. So that should cover me for tomorrow, too.

1) I gave a 1969 Auburn cookbook to a friend at work.
2) I made a layout for my neighbor of her son and new daughter-in-law on their wedding day.
3) I helped a friend resolve a problem, it was kind of a unexpected blessing for them.

The only one I can share, because it is digital is the layout. So here it is:



Thanks for reading, and I would love for you to leave me a comment so I know you stopped by.

I am so excited, I am joining the Charming Girls Quilt Club. This is going to be so much fun. I plan to be participating in projects with the group and posting my progress. Wish me luck!
