ALYOF, completed June!

I set as my goal for June to quilt a quilt I had made while pattern testing for Jess over at Elven Garden.

She's all kind of fab. This one was for me. I had it basted A LONG time ago, but I put it to the bottom of my list since I had other deadlines on tap at the time.

I quilted this one with a bright pink Aurifil thread and the lovely dove grey one. It's not perfect, but I get to keep it. (I think....hubs wants me to clear out/donate a bunch of quilts that are taking up space.)

Anywho....it's quilted and bound.

Linking up! Not sure what my goal will be for July. I'm still plugging away on my FAL list. (Updating that progress by Sunday.)

ALYOF goal, June

This one has been in the quilting queue for a ridonkulous amount of time. Frankly, I need the pins back.

This one is for me. I need to finish it. I even have binding already made.

Linking up!

ALYOF April finish

I had as my goal finishing my Heal circle knee high quilt.

It's done! I had to quilt and bind it. Now it is washed and ready to send off. It's a really fun quilt. I think I need to make it on my own at some point.

April down! Linking up!

Quarter 2, FAL 2015 goals...more epic than ever!

So, apparently, I just can't do it small. My lists grow ever bigger...and honestly will probably take until the summer to clear significantly, unless I become uber productive at Stash Bash.

I'm divvying things up between sewing and knitting.

Sewing list:

1. catvent (cotton and steel)
