Goals for March

I am happy that my UFOs bin has getting lighter every month...this month I am making another list of UFOs to finish up.  

First in the row is this .... Scrappy String Quilt which was one of the  Quilt Along that I've joined last year.  This quilt Along is hosted by Chrissy of Sew Lux. 

 I  intend to finished piecing the blocks and turn it into a Quilt top by end of March. This project is also the main goal to accomplish for  "A Year of Finishes"

2.  Another UFO  that I've carry forward from February is to piece all these blocks into a quilt top..

Third is this to start hand quilt this scraptacular quilt top...

Fourth,to continue stash busting my yarn.  My goal is to have one project in one month...and for this month I intend to finished my current Work in Progress...The African flower.

February Recap : NewFOs and Finishes

I only had one small NewFO sewing  project namely Scrappy Triple-Zip pouch 

Two quilt related finishes in February are ...the January NewFO  project- the Starburst Quilt top   

and secondly is an UFO project - Embroidery 101 Quilt.This is how the front looks like

and this is the back.

I label it by stitching the month and year of finishes.

 I hand quilted it using two different colors of thread...yellow and purple.

Two other projects finishes in February but not sewing related are these crocheted projects  ...Cute Granny Bag

and Star Coin Purse.

Happy Crafting everyone!!

February Finishes #04: Embroidery 101 Quilt

Hi Everyone!

At last I've accomplished my goal  to finish up this quilt... the  Embroidery  101. I started this quilt in 2011  as part of a Quilt Along over at Clover and Violet. I finished the quilt top with all  the embroidery on schedule.  I choose to hand quilt  it with straight line following  the shape of the boxes created by the individual blocks on the front. I finish  up with machine binding  following Mellisa's of Happy Quilting tutorial. This is how the result looks like.

Quilt Description:

Size: 58″ x 58″
Binding: Machine bind
Quilting: Hand Quilted by me with straight lines along the sashing and around the centre of each block.
Pattern: Part of the Embroidery101: Stitch & Quilt Along hosted by Clover and Violet in 2011

I feel so pleased and happy with my accomplishment.  This is my first UFO quilt finish for 2013.

A Lovely Year of Finishes: January 2013

Hello…

Wishing Everyone A Happy New Year!!

I am happy for having found Melissa of   Sew Bittersweet Design and Shanna of  Fiber of All Sorts who hosted this party.  

Well, I jumped in with a goal to finish all my UFOs.  I have listed all the projects for this party to finish up in 2013.  Hope I manage to follow my list as planned and achieve my goal. So without further ado, this is the  project that I chose for my first month finish... the Embroidery 101 that was from the quilt along that I joined in 2011.  This is the first quilt along that I've joined  and the first quilt top that I've sewn.

The quilt along was  hosted by Jennie and Clara of Clover & Violet.  I finished the quilt top in October 2011 and have been keeping the quilt top for more than a year now.  Do you have stack of UFOs that need finishing too! Why not join in the party.  I linked over at Fiber of All Sorts!

Happy Quilting!!
