Q1 Finish-A-long Finishes!

So, this quarter was kind of a wash for me.  Life has been super stressful lately.



(Literally, I just got back from getting my blood pressure checked because it was too high last week.)
Finished the class play in February, which usually means I can get back to sewing, but I sprained my wrist back in January.  Totally glamorously.
As in, I didn't realize that my washer autodrained after a power outtage and tried to lift something sopping wet that I thought was lighters and dryer.  Result: strained a ligament.
Now I know and I poke the laundry for wetness before I try to take it out.  Sigh.
After a month in a brace and then a month of PT, I'm finally sewing again.

So....my good intentions to finish a ton of old UFOs didn't entirely get realized.  What did was largely due to me having sent out some quilts to be long-armed.

Ah well.   Maybe next quarter will be less eventful and more sewing-filled.

I can hope.

Anywho, I blogged my original list here.

Here's what I finished:


1.  Tula Butterfly Quilt (longarmed by The Cotton Farm)

2. Meadow mini quilt

3. baby quilt

4. Peru mini for me!

5.  Nessie quilt

6.  Chocolatier BOM, hosted by Gen X quilters (longarmed by The Green Apricot Studio)

There would have been seven, but I ran out of binding for one more that's quilted.


I have a BIG old quilting backlog.  Let's see how big of a dent I can make on next quarter's list.  On an unrelated note, I have drunk the Jen Kingwell Koolaid.  I have a bunch of her designs in the works.

I’m really sorry about the injury, but I’m super impressed by the number of finishes you got done this quarter! :-)

Hope you are feeling better very soon. Those are some pretty quilts you have made. You did accomplish a lot.
