I met my goals! Gertie. my inner squirrel, joined me to dance happily about the studio to celebrate. I was excited to have finished quilting my 2022 through 2023 temperature quilt. In earlier posts, I was incorrect regarding the years the blocks represented. I'm looking forward to finishing that project in May!

Begin quilting this project

This time, I'm going with a series! The first book of four in the Found series is "The Little Shop of Found Things" by Paula Brackston. This series is about how found things often purchased through estate sales sing to the main character. Quickly, she learns she is a spinner--someone who can spin through time and set things the way they should be. I enjoyed the detail the author used to find period type items in this day that could pass for items in an earlier time. Each book was a light and easy listen.

My May goals are:

1. Document my braided rug making class.

2. Make the orange string blocks for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.

3. Finish my 2022 through 2023 temperature quilt.

4. Begin quilting my small group Kaffe challenge.

5. Make progress on my guild challenge project.

6. Decide what to do for the current book club book.

7. Determine the next step for Good Fortune.

8. Make the President's block for CCQ.

9. Quilt Beyond the Surface.
