OMG January 2016 Finished!

This month has been amazing for my quilting! I've gotten a lot accomplished and many things moved forward. I was able to not only finish the top of the Remington quilt, which was my goal for January for OMG, but I also got it quilted and the binding on it. It turned out great and I think this is probably the quilt I have had the most comments on in a long time!


I also made a couple more essential oils bags for Kelli. They turned out cute. I have a few more to make, but needed to take a break.



I was able to go to the BHQG SOYO and get quite a few tops done. I finished this Case IH quilt. Now I just need to get a backing done so I can quilt it.


Mikaela and I spent some time quilting on the MKJ holiday and I finished putting the binding on, so it's ready to hang for the next month.

I got an unexpected day at my dad's last weekend and was able to quilt this blue hexie quilt for my MIL. I put the binding on it this week, so another finish for the month!



I put together this Valentine's day table runner at the SOYO and quilted it last weekend. I put the binding on this week and finished the hand work last night.

I was able to quilt this trip around the world quilt on the holiday and tonight when I changed the bedding, I decided I wanted to put it on the bed. I trimmed it up, put the binding on and stitched it down by machine and it's my last finish for January 2016.

I decided to use my new Quilters Planner to track my stash usage this year. I'm more determined than ever to finish up all these UFO's I have laying around. Since it's too hard for me to do it weekly, I'll be posting my stash report monthly.

2015 Revisited

In an effort to remember what I've accomplished in the past year, I've went through my Flickr account and pulled together all my finishes for the year. I'm hoping to get my books updated with the information from all my quilts, but I am fearing I'm almost 3 years behind!! I have almost 300 finish photos to pull together into my journals. It seems daunting, but I am ready to begin the process. We'll see how it goes. For now, enjoy my 2015 finishes.

OMG 2016 January Goal

January's goal for the new OMG - One Monthly Goal is to finish the Remington quilt sample top. I have a fairly good start after a couple nights of sewing, but need to put 3 more borders on when I get home. I've traveled across the state for work this week and my sewing machine came along, I was able to get this far as well as make two huge backs, so I can hopefully quilt sometime this month.
