March OMG 2019 Update

My OMG (One Monthly Goal) for March was to finish up a couple of quilts for the kitty to use when she is curled up in the human’s chairs.

I kept the quilting simple and it isn’t very tidy.  I don’t think that will make a difference when these are washed.

I also don’t think perfection matters to the kitty.

Now all I have to do is to remember to remove kitty hair covered quilts before the humans have a seat!

I am linking up with OMG at Elm Street Quilts.  It will be fun and inspiring to visit the other bloggers who have linked up, and see what they were able to finish for March.

Sew Let’s Quilt Along

Kathy, over at Sewing Etc., will be snickering after I announce my latest project.  Kathy was looking for a new BOM to play with, and I snubbly said that I wasn’t going to fall into that trap.

Uh huh.

Famous last words and all that.

While blog surfing (my mistake, I know), I came upon a QAL that I found irresistible.

Partners in Design is offering a free QAL called Sew Lets Quilt.  The first block is a sewing machine.  You can see Snowy Days version here.

Here is my version of the block:

The block was fun to make!

I have a couple of embellishments to finish.  The buttons are not attached, and I have marked where I want the thread to be embroidered.  I am not embroidering the thread until I decide if I want to apply it by hand, or perhaps, machine quilt it later.

The nine patch is a left over unit from making Bonnie Hunter’s On Ringo Lake mystery quilt.  I think it fits well into this block!

Strolling Around the Garden

I just got home from work for the day and had an idea.  (It happens.)

I have been enjoying lots of blogger posts brimming with excitement as their gardens come to life with crocus, snowdrops and daffodils.

So…why not share a little stroll around my garden?

Enjoy!

March, when days are getting long, Let thy growing hours be strong to set right some wintry wrong. –Caroline May

My father was often impatient during March, waiting for winter to end, the cold to ease, the sun to reappear. March was an unpredictable month, when it was never clear what might happen. Warm days raised hopes until ice and grey skies shut over the town again. –Tracy Chevalier
