SOYO 2017

SOYO quilt retreat was awesome! I was able to get a lot accomplished.
I made 2 bendy bags.

I made a Winding Ways wall hanging top.

I put together the yellow and pink Good Night Irene baby quilt.

I put together the Buckeye Beauty quilt top.

I also put together my GE Designs Dangerous blocks into a quilt top.

I also put together an XO baby quilt in Brights, but I need to find a border fabric.

I put the first 4 blocks of Twist & Turn quilt top together.

I also made my FGV block the correct way. I'm now caught up with my friends.

I sewed with these delightful ladies and my Aunt Jane. It was a wonderful weekend and I loved getting to spend so much time sewing with them. I also made 40 blocks for Mathew's Car quilt.

January Accomplishments

January has been wonderful for my sewing. I've gotten a lot accomplished, but luckily I still have 4 more days to get my goal done.
I made a mini planner cover out of fabric to match my Quilters Planner.



I made a new planner cover because my other one didn't fit. The pocket above has a charm and a button from my mom. It's a great reminder of my mom and I love it.

Mikaela has been helping me with the gluing of my triangles for my Ahhhh quilt. I have all of the hexie's sewn with the triangles to each side. I've made more progress in the month of January than in the last year.

I finished all of the quarter square units for step 6 and 7 for En Provence mystery quilt. I still need to put them together, but samples call first.

I finished my braid runner for a class I'm teaching in March.

I finished block 9 of the Dangerous Mystery quilt.

A few more blocks of FGV got done.

I made sweet pea pods for my friends at quilt retreat.

I'll do another post with my quilt retreat, but I also finished up a piecing sample for a class I'm teaching.
