My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

February, 2016 Quilting/Sewing Goals

10 years ago

I think we have all gotten a good start for 2016 and are continuing to get some great bonding time with our fabric and sewing machines. Isn't that great?! Think of all the money we save not having to go to therapy!!! It's a short month so go easy on yourself.

Get as much done on the Purple LW, the Girly LW, the Lightning Zig-Zag LW, the String Star, Herringbone, and Little Rectangles. Oh, and figure out which UFO I want to work on this month......... sigh.

Three of these are tops that need to be backed and quilted, 1 needs the rows sewn together, 1 needs the rest of the blocks made and sewn together and the String Star is a block I wanted to try and need to complete. And they are all small....24"X36" to be used in a NICU.

What's on your plate this month?

    My goal for February is just to get quilting. Today I finished piecing this child's quilt using Bonnie Hunter's Scappy Mountain Majesties pattern and one of the alternate settings. These are all scrap fabrics from other quilts I've made. I don't know whether I'll just bind it or add a border. I've got time to ponder it because I won't continue work on it until I get home in April. It's not my favorite, but then every one can't be. Now I have to get started on one of the other four I brought to Hawaii with me.
