May OMG Goal 2019 Update

Time to share an update on my May OMG (One Monthly Goal).

I had decided that it was time to get the Aunt Bea’s Parlor project out of the closet and finish up the borders.

I also said that I had issues with piecing the borders and that it was the pattern’s fault.

Ahem.

Turns out, as is often the case when I am involved, my issues were due to operator error.

Somehow the piecing just went together so much better when I took the time to mark and pin.

Go figure.

May OMG Goal 2019

Remember the Aunt Bea Parlor embroidery quilt?

Yeah…it has been a while.

I think that October 2017 was the last time that I shared anything about it.

I put the quilt on a hanger and left it in the closet.  Why, I wonder?

I may have been having a border issue, as in…my border wasn’t fitting the way the pattern said.  Maybe I got frustrated. 

And, no maybes about it, when I am done with this project, I will not be cutting triangles for borders before the top is sewn together.

For now, I will be satisfied to lose points and get the top done!

So that is my goal for May.

April OMG 2019 Update

I kept my goal very simple for April for a great reason…I am happily sitting in a glider this morning at my son’s house enjoying vacation with family.

I will also be able to visit  with my daughter and her fam during this vacation!

So, so happy!

My goal was to sew a pair of pajama bottoms.  Done!

Pajamas

They are a little big, so will take in the seam allowances next time (Yes, I did this time, but not enough).  They are also so soft and comfy.  Love them!
