Got it done in January/ Get it done in February

I have had a productive January even with being sick the first week.  Here were my plans for January:

1. I want to finish my Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt
2. I want to get the binding on my Orca bay quilt from last year so that I can enter it in the Creative Arts division of the Stock show and Rodeo.
3. I want to finish a challenge that we were given at our quilt group Christmas party
4. My plan for Christmas gifts for our daughter and daughter in law is to give them a table runner for each month. I hope to make two each month instead of making them all at Christmas.

I got all of this done plus some.  I also made a baby quilt, table cloth, a block for our block of the month, and cut out a quilt for a retreat I am going to in February.
My Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt pieced.  Sorry the picture is bad it was  sunny and windy the day I took the picture.
Orca Bay all finished and ready to enter into the fair.
This was my challenge from my quilt group.  We picked three fat quarters not knowing what we were going to make with them and then had to pick a pattern ( we each brought 3 unwanted fat quarters and a pattern we weren't going to use) and then we were told we had to use the fabric in that pattern.

This baby quilt was not on my list but I need it for a shower on Feb. 9th.

For February I hope to complete-
1.  Two table runners for February for our Daughter and Daughter in Law for Christmas
2. Finish a Friends and Flowers quilt that I started on a retreat last year
3.  Make a quilt for my nephew's high school graduation
4.  Catch up on my back to Square One blocks  and do my Christmas block for my quilt group.

I hope I can get this done.  I am going to a 3 day retreat at the end of the month so there may be some power sewing those days!   I love setting these goals for the month, it seems to help me get it done.
