February Goal, A Lovely Year of Finishes, PRACTICE

Well, it is February, and as usual I am behind in my BOMs and other things that I need to work on, well need is a strong word, want to work on is better.  I told myself I would not get behind this year, but now I am taking a dyeing class and it takes me a day to get ready for class and then a day to wash and sort the fabric that I dyed.  No complaints, mind you, but the class is taking a lot of time.

Aurifil January BOM

So, for my Lovely Year of Finishes February goal, I am going to complete my February Globetrotting BOM, my Aurifil BOM, and catch up on my FMQ class with Leah Day, the Building Blocks BOM.

Globetrotting January BOM

Now, frankly, the FMQ with Leah Day is the most important to me.  I really need to do this free motion stuff to where I am satisfied.  I have tops to quilt and I have plans for an entry in May to a show, but if I can't get the FMQ I am sunk.  So, I need to practice, practice, practice.  That is a goal, but not a visible one, so I will do the visible and then also do the practice to get better.  Love always, Kay

Lovely Year of Finishes

Guess what?  I only put one block down for my finish for January because of my carpal tunnel surgery.  But, I went all the way to doing the sashing and finishing the entire quilt top!!!!!

Here it is:

2013 Sugar Block Club.  My Dog Sadie loves it also...

So, there it is, my January, all 12 months done and top finished for Sugar Block Club 2013.  Onward to more Lovely Finishes for 2014!  Love always, Kay

January, A Lovely Year of Finishes

I am going to start January with a small goal, mostly because I am laid up still with a cast on my right wrist from carpal tunnel surgery.  My January goal is to make the December block from Amy Gibson's 2013 Sugar Block Club and at least get a plan for putting it together.  Here is the earlier blocks:

While this picture only shows 9, I do indeed have 11 done but my camera is somewhere unknown and I am trying to dig it out.  I will find it by the time I need to post my success.

So, there you have it, my first 2014 goal...  Love always, Kay
