February - Got it Done / Get it done in March

I reached all my goals for February plus some. I had this planned.....
For February I hope to complete-
1. Two table runners for February for our Daughter and Daughter in Law for Christmas-Done!

2. Finish a Friends and Flowers quilt that I started on a retreat last year- Top Finished

3. Make a quilt for my nephew's high school graduation-Top finished

4. Catch up on my back to Square One blocks and do my Christmas block for my quilt group. Done

I did this in addition to finishing a baby quilt, a wall hanging that was a paper pieced UFO,worked on a wool applique UFO and made some pillow cases for charity.

For March I  will have grandchildren for Spring Break and again for Easter and I have jury duty so I am not sure I will accomplish quite as much as I did in February. 
March Goals
1.  Make door signs with Berkeley for her teacher's  for teacher appreciation week in May.
2.  Make the backings for the two quilts I made in Feb.
3.  Make two St. Patrick's Day table runners
4.  Make the blocks for the block of the month quilts I am working on.

I have a busy month ahead so better get started!

Design wall 2-25-2013

Wow! is it windy outside, a good day to stay in and sew.  We are having winds 35-45 MPH with gusts to 60!
 I went to a retreat this weekend and finished a couple things that I will show later in the week.  Today my design wall has a table runner for March.  So far I have kept up with my 2 table runners a month and by Christmas I will have a set for our daughter and daughter in law.  Here is the beginning of one of the March runners.

Fabric stash report for week 8

I spent the weekend with 6 friends at a bed and breakfast in a town that is about 30 miles from our house.  The weekend was wonderful! We stayed in a house that was built in 1907 and was just beautiful.  We had a wonderful hostess that cooked us 3 meals a day and all we did was sew! I made one quilt top and finished another and worked on two table runners.  So I have some pretty good numbers for the week. 

Week number- 8

Used this week- 20 yards

Used this year- 50.25

Purchased this week- 2 yards

Design wall Monday 2-18-13

My design wall has the blocks for the quilt that I am making with my quilt group.  This week we are getting together and going to a bed and breakfast and spending the weekend together.  I have a quilt cut out and ready to put together and another that I started at a retreat in Brownwood last year but haven't worked on since then.  I am also starting on my St. Patricks day tablerunners.  Here is my design wall.....

Stash Report week7

This week I finished up my blocks for our quilt group and then pulled out an UFO. I only had the bird house finished and stuck it back.  Luckly I had all the fabrics in the bag with the project. Now I am finishing  the binding and so details like the eye and berries on the holly  ( not sure if it will be a table topper or wall hanging).

Here are my stats for the week.

Week number- 7

Used this week- 1

Used this year- 30.25

Purchased this week- 0 yards

Purchased this year- 4 Yards

Next weekend several friends and I are going to a Bed and Breakfast in a nearby town and have a mini retreat so I should have bigger numbers.  Have a great week.

Design Wall for 2-11-2013

I have the next block for the quilt my quilting group is making on my design wall today.  I just have the wool pinned on and will get the handwork done this week.  I finished a Valentine table runner yesterday and will show it at the end of the month.  I spent most of the afternoon yesterday working on scraps and cutting them into strips.  It is a boring job but nice when you have them all cut and put away.
