January 2015 Goal - Finished!

 Saturday, January 31, 2015


Talk about squeaking this one in at the last minute!  I literally just finished, which is why my photographs aren't the greatest, but I did manage to sew and trim all 48 half square triangles!!!  Woohoo!  And I have the trimmings to prove it!


I am saving all of my trimmings to make a new bed for our newest family member.  We have had her for about 6 weeks now.  The kids just love her!  I read in a magazine somewhere that fabric scraps make good filling for dog beds, so I am going to try it!  I think by Fall 2015 I just might have enough.

January 2015 Goal

 Wednesday, January 7, 2015

In years past, I have had a very hard time keeping up with things like this, but this year, I am taking a more laid back approach.  I will be making my goals a little bit smaller, so they are more achievable.

Over the past summer, my sister shared that she was pregnant with her first child.  To say that the family was excited was an understatement!  Around Halloween, she found out she was having a girl.

She decided on this kind of funky chevron quilt, which I have drawn out.  She saw a picture of it on pinterest but there was no link to a pattern or anything like that, so I drew it up on graph paper and am just going to roll with it.  This is the first time that I have ever done this!  Hopefully it turns out.


She chose the following fabrics:



Aren't they pretty together.  My sisters and I are hosting a baby shower for her on February 28, 2015.  I would like to have this quilt completed by then.  So the plan for this month is to sew up 48 half square triangles.  I just can't wait to see how this project comes together.
