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.

Bow Ties, Farm Girl Finish and Birdhouse Updates

 

Bow Tie Leader/Enders

If I counted correctly (and that is questionable), then I should have 768 bow tie blocks in this basket.

That is enough to sew these into bigger blocks for a layout.

Hubby made a frame for the Farm Girl stitchery, so she is completely finished and ready for gifting!

Farm Girl

I love how she turned out!

The birdhouse project (I really should name this thing) has gone from the designing stage to the fused applique stage.

I really like it now…definitely enough to finish it!

Birdhouse UFO

This is my first post using the ‘new’ WordPress editor. I am a bit lost, but I am figuring it out. Except that I cannot seem to make photos clickable anymore. Hmmmmm?

*I have figured out how to make my photos clickable!  At least for now!

Birdhouse UFO

In 2017, I decided to make this UFO a goal…I was going to finish it!

Birdhouse Wall Hanging

Here is what I said:

One Monthly Goal – 2017 

Ahem.  It is a bird house.  Started and abandoned quickly.  One of those “quilt guild inspired because everyone is making one” projects.  My excitement didn’t last long.  This oldie needs to be done!

Well.  We can all see how far I got with that goal.  Still uninspired.

This little project has been hanging around since 1995.  I found the quilt guild newsletter with the birdhouse pattern in it.  Just the birdhouse and a little birdie pattern that I dislike; nothing else.

So I have made a simple mockup with my Electric Quilt program.

I have come up with this plan:

I think I like it enough to carry on!
