May's Finish~

I am so happy to have this top together!


Doesn't it look like it should be finished and over chairs
for a fun little tent?


Maybe ready for a friend and some rainy day play...


Although, we are hoping those days are done for a while!

April's Block for Our Adventure in Color~


Like always, there were many things left on my
To Do List
before I hopped on the jet a month ago.

That seems so long and about 50 degrees different!

One of the things on the list was to snap a picture of my April blocks
and send them off in the mail.


Originally I planned to make this for February,
then I went all Valentines-ee and made them for April.

Our days are getting longer and our shadows are growing.


The excellent pattern is the Star and Pinwheel
from the Vintage Quilt Revival's Sugar Snow Quilt.
I have several more blocks to make from the book.  
If you haven't checked it out yet, I highly recommend it.
Seeing the book online definitely inspired our Color Adventure Project!

The colors I used are Kona Peacock, Citrus and Pomegranate.

May Stitching Goal~


For some reason,
I currently love red, aqua and pink together.
I really want a quilt using these colors
and 
a nine-patch star.

I tried to get a top done...and failed :-(

Oh, this does bother me!!

So I am going to fix it,
and make a finished top as my May goal. 

I did get sample blocks done


but I plan to get the entire top finished!!

Yes, yes I do.....

This month's goal is part of

And Then There Was March~

We had that month called March.
Do you remember it blowing by?

I chose the shade of early spring for this block.


Having the wheel spin on the branches


as the wind blew


seemed to put them in motion.

And Tammy sent her beautiful block.
I love her color choice!


And here is what we have so far!
All completed on time ;-)


April is in the mail.....

April in a Year of Finishes~


It has been a busy April for everyone it seems!
While I didn't get through everything on my list for the month,
I was happy to finish what I did.

This was first on the list~

Presence from the Sugar Block Club


April Showers of the frozen kind!
But I do love the contrast of the flowers on the white.


The simple Presence block was a perfect one for April.



Can't wait to see what block is next!


I am linking up at the
Lovely Year of Finishes.
You can check out everyone's finishes here~

I can't believe it is almost May.....

February's Colors~


I realized I didn't post our finished February blocks
for the Color Adventure.

That month sure flew by, didn't it!

Tammy's pretty "springy" one arrived with its soft colors.
It is a bit of Oregon's spring palette!


Our January and February blocks


are blooming against the winter's snow.....

Spring-ing Forward With a Goal~


I sat down with a calendar
and mapped out when I will be gone this month.

It turns out the number of days away,
is more than the time at home.

Wow!

In an attempt to keep up with my projects,
I am going to make my Sugar Block 
completion, my goal.

This month is Presence 
which seems appropriate for the times,
doesn't it?


Maybe when I return in May, spring will have sprung?

Hope it is a productive month,
where ever you may be!
