April 2022 OMG

My main April sewing goal is to complete all of April’s 365 Challenge blocks…I am doing my best not to fall behind with the project!

January completed blocks.

February completed blocks.

March completed blocks.

The great news is that Betty Boop is home! We have a lot to catch up on (she is my only machine that can sew decorative stitches)!

Birdhouse Wall Hanging

It seems that the last time that I showed the Birdhouse UFO was back in October of 2020. Remember it? The only reason that I remember it is because I left it on the design wall instead of burying it back in a basket.

The plan is to stitch all of the applique down this month. The birdhouse was hand stitched forever ago, and I have begun to stitch the rest with Betty Boop’s help.

March 2022 OMG Update

I wasn’t home to declare a March OMG goal, but I have one. I wanted to complete all of the March 365 Challenge blocks.

And so I have.

I have also finished most of the STID (stitch-in-the-ditch) on my daughter’s patriotic quilt. The majority of the basting pins have been removed.

I shared about this quilt in this post.

The quilt sandwich is stable now (the layers are secure), and some of the weight is lightened without those pins.

The quilt is now marinating while I decide how to quilt it.

Most of the snow is gone, and the past couple of days have been warm (upper 50’s and 60 degrees). I am so excited to be home to enjoy spring! I’ve been out raking and discovering lots of spring bulbs popping up!

I am linking up with OMG at Elm Street Quilts. Hop on over there and check out the wonderful projects that others are doing!

Another February 2022 OMG Update

I know that it is March, but since I made an unplanned trip to visit family in February, I did not meet my OMG goal.

Since coming home, I have been playing the catch up game. So, while I still don’t have my daughter’s patriotic quilt basted, I do have my February 365 Challenge blocks finished.

The center block is also finished.

Onward to March!
