I have really enjoyed participating in the 2018 Finish-A-Long this year. There are a whole group of hosts, but I usually hook up at Marci Girl Designs.
Back in October, I listed my goals for the last quarter of 2018 here.
I did pretty well this time, I figure about 80%.
1) Angel quilt by Cheri Payne. Finish for my daughter for Christmas. Done. Where I started was here.
I did get it quilted and gifted for Christmas. The front
And back
2. Crow quilt to flimsy. This is another Cheri Payne pattern. This one was pretty much done, I just had some berries and my initials to applique on. DONE
3. Doll Clothes for Klara's BD doll by October 29th. DONE.
I made her baby PJ's, a hooded sweatshirt, pants and T-shirt, a pair of leggings and T-shirt. most were recycled fabric from Klara's old leggings and T-shirts.
4. Redwork embroidery of 3 Nursery Rhyme blocks for my SIL. DONE. She is going to put these together in a quilt for her first granddaughter. They went through here on the way to Oregon for Christmas and just left after staying several days. I was able to give her these three blocks finished. Only have 3 more!
Old King Cole
There Was a Man and He Had Naught
There was a man and he had naught,
And robbers came to rob him;
He crept up to the chimney top,
And then they thought they had him.
But he got down on the other side,
And then they could not find him;
He ran fourteen miles in fifteen days,
And never looked behind him.

This was not one I was familiar with..

5. Owl Redwork Table Runner for daughter. DONE. This was my own design, and I used leftover fabric from the 12 Days of Christmas In July blog hop table runner I did here
6. Great Pumpkin BOM quilt to flimsy stage. DONE..
7. Assemble Christmas panels for daughters for Christmas. NOT DONE. I had gotten these on clearance at Hobby Lobby,probably about 9 years ago. Never had a chance to work on them.
8. Do 2 more panels of Sweet Land of Liberty. NOT DONE. Lori at Humble Quilts is going to run another sew-along this year. I decided to wait until that starts up. I have been working on it with Susan at DesertSky Quilting and Edi who hasn't started hers yet, This is what mine still looks like.
9. Assemble my long-finished redwork ornaments. DONE. I made 3 sets at least 10 years ago. I gifted them to my daughters, but mine have not been completed. I did finish them in time for Christmas and I was finally able to put them on the tree.
10. Get ,my Fall Into a QAL blocks into a flimsy by November 13th. DONE. This was a quilt-a-long hosted by Partners in Design. I designed the center block.
So that was it. I completed 8 out of 10 of my goals this past quarter. I'd like to thank the 2018 Finish-A-Long hosts, and I will be linking up at Marci Girl Designs.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Karrin.
Such lovely projects...I am going to quilting my quilt, when Lori does her quilt along. I remember home made doll clothes and how much I loved them, as a girl!
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job with your finishing goals! Congrats on all the finishes!
ReplyDeleteI especially like the angel quilt!
Well done on such lovely finishes! Thank you for participating in the FAL, on behalf of the 2018 FAL hosts!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how far behind I've gotten in reading! You did really well on your last quarter's goals. So many lovely things finished! I haven't gotten going on the next unit for SLOL, either. I have everything ready to make it happen, but it just hasn't yet! I hope to have some things to take to Tucson in February and work on them there, because I'm not taking a sewing machine.
