April finishes

The first two weeks of April lots of happened in my creative corner ...and the second week ... lots of other non-crea happiness.

1) courtyard quilt

Early April the fabric for the inner blocks was cut and the blocks were made. The fabric is easy to work with, although I have yet to try starching my fabric before cutting ... well one day .... maybe  ..... The fabric for the outer blocks are cut, however not yet sewn together. Maybe tomorrow ... the weather forecast was rain ... and now is one big sunny day ... so sewing all outer blocks is so not happening .... 

2) secret colour swap

The mini quilt and extras are finalized and sent off. Not yet received so cannot take any risk in showing the colour pictures ... B&W for now only.

The mini quilt is based on the one main colour and lots of improv. I loved the process and will try this for sure again. The overal idea was to make a log cabin blog in any way.

3) socks

One sock is finished (apart from closing the toes) and the second sock started. These will be ready before Christmas.

April goals

 There are days I am productive and other days just not at all. And then there are all these projects waiting to be finished, started ..... and so many more ideas swirling through my mind.

April will need to help me get rid of some.And what better way than goal setting to advance.

1) secret colour swap

This year participating again in the secret colour swap and this month need to finish the mini quilt and some extras. The mini top is done, needs quilting and binding. I also made a start with one extra ... pictures in B&W as the colours need to stay a surprise

 

2) Court yard quilt

As part of my restrictions of not buying anything new - I completely messed up - and bought the pattern, rulers and fabric of the court yard quilt. This quilt will be a gift. I started cutting and need to get at least the inner blocks done. 

 

3) Socks

I started knitting a new pair of socks this winter and one sock is almost done. Definitely need to finish this sock.
