March Finishes Link Party (ALYOF)

Well,this month is just about shot in the butt!  Once again it is time to link up with Melissa,over at SewBitter Sweet Designs to show off our Lovely Finishes.

First,a recap of my goals for March:

• Finish Tumbler Quilt
• make a "few"items for the bake/craft sale slash fundraiser for Climb for Cancer
• Make some totes for the shop/farmers market

First up International Tumblers Quilt...

Finished!  These photos were taken just this morning,after my shift at the bake/craft sale :)

Although there are gusts of wind today,for the most part is has just been a mild breeze!  We are finally getting a taste of spring!  Which I for one am so ready for.  Mr P. suggested this local picnic spot for the photo shoot today,and I am so glad he did!

Here is a mosaic of some of the items that I made and donated to the sale.

There were also a few dress form pin cushions,and not pictured another baby quilt,five pillows,3 bracelets,and a couple hair barrettes.

My third goal: Tote bags for the shop/farmers market,also finished!  Can I get a Whoop,Whoop!?  Oh yeah,you gotta love it when a plan comes together :0)  This afternoon I will be listing the totes in my shop.

So far that is three for three this year!  That makes me a very happy person ;0)  If I can keep up the finishes (I can do it) this is going to be a super productive year!

How are you doing with your sewing goals this year so far?

ALYOF March Mid ~ Month check in

Yes it is that time again,already!  Are you playing along,and if so,how are you doing?

My three goals for the month were...

1. to finish my tumbler quilt started last summer  (which has been named International Tumblers)

Here it is!  All finished,as of last night!  This and the following photos were snapped off in a hurry today after work as the wind was is still blowing like crazy here.

A closer shot of my first ever FMQ on a quilt!!  Pretty excited about that :0)

The wind just about blew the quilt off the fence right as I was taking this one.  I am hoping to get some much better shots between now and the end of the month.

2. make a few items to donate to the bake/craft sale... no progress on this one but I will be starting on that after this post :0)

3. make some new tote/messenger bags for my shop... also no progress yet,those will be next up after the things to donate.

Linking up over at the Mid ~ Month check in at Sew BitterSweet Designs & also over at busy bee quilts because Jamie is hosting Monday Link Up this week!

March Edition of (ALYOF)

The first two months have just zipped by us!  So here we are again posting about what our goals are for the current month.

My quilt finish goal for this month is the tumbler quilt that I started last summer,and need to get finished.

The second and goal is a few (not going to specify a number) items for our craft/bake sale at the end of the month for the,Climb to Conquer,Cancer Hike.  We have at least one(but most times two) teams that hike every year to raise money.  This year we decided to not to limit ourselves to just baked goods at our sale.

My third and last goal is to get some new tote and or messenger bags made up,for my shop,and also for the space I plan to have at the local Farmers Market this summer.

Thats it for this month,wish me luck!  Linking up over at Melissa's :0)
