My One Monthly Goal for August was to finish a quilt for my brother Bill, whose birthday was August 1st. I stated my goal in this post.
I had tried to get it done before his birthday but due to a nasty cold (not COVID) I got slowed down. Then my Juki that I use on my quilt frame decided to have tension problems that I couldn't resolve, so I free motion quilted the remaining on my Bernina.
I'm happy to say I achieved my goal, and finished the quilt, and Bill has received it. I tried to practice different FMQ motifs on the whales and boats and I did waves around the sashings which were a little wonky.
My brother was born when I was 10 years old, and I took care of him from the time he was born. I tried to find a poem or something appropriate to put on the label and I finally came up with one.
I will be linking up One Monthly Goal at Elm Street Quilts. Thanks so much to Patty and all she does, and for this monthly motivation!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
I am glad bill got and loves your quilt… I love it for him too!!! Great job achieving your monthly goal girl ;)
