HQAL March 2025

Here is where I was in the previous HQAL post:

Garden Baskets

You might not notice the difference, so I will point that out for you.

Compare the right side borders of both the 1st and 2nd photos. In the first, some of those leaves are white. That means that they have freezer paper on top, and are prepped for stitching. In the 2nd photo, those leaves are stitched and the freezer paper is removed.

This means that the quilt top is finished and is now marinating until time for quilting.

I am so happy to have reached this accomplishment!

I inherited these 3 fleece blanket kits from Mom, and they were my next project.

No Sew Fleece Throw Blanket

My granddaughter wants to make the kitty blanket. Yay! That left me with only 2 of these projects to make!

I made the cute snowman blanket first, and it is already gifted!

Next, I made the paisley blanket. It isn’t gifted yet, and I might just keep it handy for myself, or a guest, to cozy up with a book, or a movie.

Quilt on!

HQAL March 2025

My hand quilting project has been to work on appliqueing the leaves onto the Garden Baskets quilt.

Here is where I was in the previous HQAL post:

If it weren’t for the great pillowcase race, I could have this done.

However, I am in a race against myself, and am a great procrastinator so far as this leafy border is concerned.

In spite of myself, I did make time to work on the border. I have about 24 leaves left to applique.

I believe I can get this thing done!

HQAL February 2025

I have done absolutely nothing with the Beez embroidery project this month.

Here is where I was, and here is where I still am:

Beez By Tricia Cribbs Embroidery Design

That is not to say that I haven’t done any handwork during this very short month!

Surprise!

I have gotten out the Garden Basket project!

Here is where I was:

After finishing appliqueing the leaves on a border this month, I was delighted to find that I only have one border left to finish!

I was so sure that I had only completed two borders!

Happy, happy dance!

Garden Baskets

I now have the last border of leaves all pinned and ready to stitch (which may, or may not, happen any time soon).

How about you?

Have you been able to move a project forward this month?

Have fun and carry on!
