One Monthly Goal



At the beginning of the month, I set my One Monthly Goal here to be finishing block #12 of this old, old BOM UFO Flourishes by Piece of Cake Designs.  I am happy to say I finished it today, all 32 leaves and 42 circles.  The circles aren't perfect, but it is done at long last.  


After I finish by Hands2Help quilts, I plan to start putting this together.  I will be linking up with Elm Street Quilts for One Monthly Goal.  I continue to appreciate this monthly motivation.  

One thing that brought a smile to my face last week was my wisteria flowering.  I have had this plant probably 8-10 years, and this is the first time it has bloomed.  


Because of all the rain we had earlier in the year my flowering  beds are chock full of weeds.  I am still not finished.  See that green stuff on the right-that is this sticky weed that spreads all over the place.  I have a brick patio, and walkway which has moss when it is cool and raining, but then it starts growing grass I have to pick out.  I am about 1/2 way through doing that.  I had 4 feet tall dandelions I have had to cut with a branch cutter.  They are very hard to pull off.

Two days this week I had a migraine that nearly incapacitated me.  I'm thankful that is gone now.

I have one of my Hands2Help quilts quilted and binding sewn on.  I just need to sew down the binding.  I hope to get another one on the frame today.

Thanks for stopping by.

  1. That is such a lovely block! A lot of applique and little pieces but it will be so gorgeous in the finished quilt. Love wisteria, I should look into whether it will survive our very cold winters.

  2. Love the happy Piece of Cake block!
    Wisteria is gorgeous, but I don't think I can grow it where I live.

  10. Your applique block is just gorgeous, Karrin. I don't notice that your circles aren't round and I'm sure it doesn't matter -- when all the parts look so beautiful together. Congratulations on meeting your goal for April!
