Goal!

My OMG for Elm Street Quilts has been quilted and bound.  The quilting was completed on Tuesday morning and the binding was on by Wednesday night.

Stitch and Flip Baby Quilt: OMG Quilt for January

The Stitch and Flip Quilt is a fast and easy quilt for a baby shower.  It requires only 1/2 of a Jelly Roll.  The project is worth repeating.  One could make two at a time and switch the vertical strip between the two quilts.

Shannon is thinking about what her grandmas name will be so the label will have to wait until she decides.

It feels good to have completed one of the tops in my stack.  There is one more top I made with fabrics from this line.  It may be my OMG for February and gifted to a granddaughter arriving by adoption.

A Good Month for Projects

Record Snow Storm

We had an unusual snowstorm that left us with 13 inches of snow this month.  The snow caused havoc for a week and then left us quickly when our temperatures returned to normal.  Besides shoveling our driveway, I have some projects to show since Christmas and for being snowbound.

Decorative Napkins for the Kitchen Table

 I love the method for the napkins.  It works so slick!

Three Reversible Table Runners

This quickie table runner makes a great gift and is so easy.  I have more details on another blog entry:  WOF Table Runners  Sometimes I vary the strips a bit depending on the fabric available.  I had a kit for one 10 Minute Table Runner that I was making the most of by supplementing with some coordinating fabrics.  The kit fabrics were the orange and lime green Riley Blake fabrics and the additions were the black and the backing fabrics.

Two Aprons for Gifting

Much Needed Slippers for Me

 The free pattern for the slippers is a keeper.  I like the garter stitch sole.  It feels cushy.

Napkins & Mug Rugs or Candle Mats

 

Gift Apron

The pattern for the apron is in a booklet.  I collect apron patterns but this is my number one favorite.  The half apron version of the one above has been well liked among fans of that style, too.

Progressing Towards a Goal

Yesterday, I made good use of time before we did my mom's shopping and quilted my OMG project.  Now to get the binding ready along with putting the badges on my husband's new uniform.  It would be nice if the quilt were ready for tomorrow so my friend can see it and decide what she wants on the label.  She is a new grandma and I will probably use her grandma name in the sentiment.

One Monthly Goal

Elm Street Quilts is sponsoring a goal setting contest.  I am entering just to get my stack of quilt tops off the table, quilted, bound, and labelled so they can be gifted.  Last year only 2 tops made the finished list.  I was glad to have them leave but more should have disappeared with them.

Here is the quilt top that needs to be done first.  It was one of three from pre-cuts from the same colorway I made in 2015.  This one is going to my friend Shannon.  It's her rockin' grandbaby quilt.

My "One Monthly Goal" Quilt

I have two more aprons on the list for this month before the quilt is loaded on my machine for quilting.  The 2 aprons will join another completed in the last three days with two matching napkins and mug mats.
