Quilting like a Maniac- Relaxing through Quilting.

Well it wasn't a great month of finishing but I did get a few quilts done, and I should be happy. Also I started two new questions, but still need to push myself to get some of the quilting done.  Lets get into it right away: One for premie babies.  From my guild Fraser Valley Quilters Guild The front of it. I quilted it all around the panel, and more. You can now see the bark on the tree. I love this one!!!!  Colour play from Alison Glass.  From March's Quilty box.   It was so fun to play with the colours.  You got a Cake of fabric, you cut them into 5" squares and you played with the placement.  See the results below. It's outstanding.  And I did black all around for binding to really pop the colours. The quilting was simple, corner to corner, all over it.  It says something.   This took 3 days, and was worth the sewing on the binding to get this effect.   I think I'll keep this one   :) 

OK, so here it is at the end of February and where am I at with my 6 goals?  No where....  Darn....  I did do somethings, and I'll show you my new goals for this next quarter, although I have to tell you I might be moving, so  Goal #1:    Complete the Secret Garden - A wool quilt with three blocks to go. A  2nd goal  Do  at least 8 more fibre art leaves to add to one of my quilts.  The quilt is called Canadian Parks, all green, yellow and red.  The fibre art tree is finished and looks fantastic.  I have put it on the quilt, now for a few fibre leaves (at least 10 leaves) to splatter around the tree.  I also picked off the extra CA I sewed in by accident (I'm such a dunce!!!) when I was spelling Canada.  It was CANANADA, but now it's NANADA, so now I have to find the right thread (match what I have) before I fix this one.  I decided not to cover the Canada, keep it, because it looks so good.  And then I'm looking at using the Ink set to shade in the words

OK, I didn't do so well this month, even when I had two weeks of spring break (yes I am a teacher :), so you would think I did well?  Well, I got side tracked.  But that's for the next blog entry.  For now, lets set my goal..... I have two quilts all done, I just need to quilt them.  So I'm choosing one and it's the King Size quilt.  It was part of my quarter goal (see the side panel for the Quarterly Goal link) and even though I finished the entire thing, and sandwiched it, I didn't finish the quilting.  So this is where I am at.  Notice my husband is holding it and he wanted to make sure that he was hidden.  Truthfully, I think I did want that as well (lol). My goal  is to complete it.  Hopefully.  I'm Linking to OMG over at Elm Street Quilts .  Good luck to everyone this month  :)
