FAL finishes, 2nd Quarter


2015 FAL at On the Windy Side

I started off with a crazy list.  I like crazy lists.

I got 20 items crossed off my list.  My next one is going to be even more insane as I'm starting to gear up for Christmas presents.  I like making homemade ones for loved ones, but it means I have to start well in advance, especially if knitting is involved.

Anywho, I posted my original list here.

Here's how I did.

Sewing:

1.  Catvent (Cotton and Steel version)--Finished!

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.)

FAL finishes so far....

I've been plugging away.

Then there was Stash Bash.  I actually didn't finish much there due to bad planning on my part.

That said, here are my finishes so far:
