Recap of February and March Goals

Lupine and Laughter flimsy

My February goals were:

✔1. Make progress on Lupine and Laughter.

✔2. Make a few RSC blocks--the color is green. Angela suggests focusing on the darker green if there is a lot. I will use whatever green will stand out against the gray and black backgrounds. 

✔3. Work on the back for my challenge quilt.

✔4. Make progress quilting the 2022-2023 Temperature quilt.

✔5. Work on my sashiko project.

✔6. Make more 2025 Temperature quilt blocks. I need to purchase more fabric to have enough to finish the blocks. 

✔7. Bind Grassy Creek--I'll be picking it up from the longarmer on Monday.

✔8. Attend and enjoy a virtual retreat.

Whew! I did it! I incorporated some yardage that had been hanging out a long time in my stash into some backing. I even managed to use some scraps from previous backings into the backings that I used. I worked on seven projects and finished one. That finish was Grassy Creek which was a Bonnie Hunter mystery in 2020!

Fabric accounting: 

Green Rainbow Scrap Challenge blocks

Current month:

Fabric out: 22.5 yards

Net loss:10.25 yards

Year to date:

Fabric out: 34.5 yards

Book of the month:

Piecing a back for the Kaffe challenge

My favorite listen this month was The Tree Collectors by Amy Stewart. Who knew there are people collecting trees living on a city lot or collecting wood or collecting seeds. Who knew that tree collections could be so varied. People have also determined how their collection will live on after their passing.

My March goals are:

1. Document making a pieced back for my back that decided to be a top which I named Scrappy Kaffe.

2. Make progress on the sashiko project.

3. Post about my sourdough baking.

4. Post an update on my knee.

5. Document receiving Happy Mail.

6. Visit Liberty of London.

7. Pre wash the backing fabric, iron it and get Lupine and Laughter to the longarmer.

8. Document making a pieced back for my Kaffe challenge quilt.

9. Document the Love Bug gift pillows.
