Tough week for me, as I had a sinus infection and then cough. I didn't feel like doing anything but lay around watching Downton Abbey seasons 1 and 2 and 3! I had never watched any of the shows before and now I am hooked. So I am calling it my Downton Abbey cold!

I did complete 2 things on my Sunday to do list though!! Here is what I finished...

✔️put binding on the boy animal baby quilt.

✔️LA quilted girl baby quilt with Luau pantograph.

Last Friday in January - a couple finishes.

I am on a deadline this week. I have a birthday party Saturday which I had to complete the Hawaiian wall hanging I have been working on. I did it. It just needs the label sewn on and the hooks attached.

I also completed one baby quilt for a friend who had a baby boy this week.

I still have to complete a baby quilt for a shower on Sunday. It is on the long arm I have done 2 rows already. Binding is already cut out but not made. No pictures of this one.

Scrappy Challenge January 2014

Here are 3 of the blocks that I am going to add to this final quilt in December.

Somehow I can't get the mauve background to show up from the bottom left corner block. It is such a pretty mauve too.

Friday Finishes

Considering I had reports cards to finish this week I am happy with the finishes in quilting.

✔️ "Boys will be Boys and Monkeys too" quilt is done. It is 50"x50". I did embroidery blocks of monkeys and boys since the fabric had them on there. This is going to a friend's 2 year old since I am making a baby quilt for the new one coming in February.

✔️Made another "Scrappy Challenge" block.

Friday Finishes

I have a couple finishes and some progress. I like documenting my weekly progress to keep me motivated towards my monthly goals. Well, sometimes adding new projects too. It also gives me a sense of accomplishment.
