Where did April go?

This month my Bernina had a serious breakdown, her gears were worn out. My machine is 13 years old and 5 years ago the gears were replaced. The technician thought it rather rare for a second set of gears to have worn out. So for about a week I used my old portable Kenmore sewing machine

I really have been busy quilting, just forgot to take pictures.  The local Quilts for Kids group has a workshop once or twice per month and although I’ve not yet attended and stayed to sew I do pick up a couple kits and then return completed quilts plus one or two of my own. I did remember to photograph the latest ones completed from kits.  I am working on a new pattern using some fat eighths in my stash.

Sew Many Strips done

ready for donation to H2H ( Hands to Help).  Was sent to Quilty Hugs for Happy Chemo.

Another child’s quilt - Stick Shift

this measures 40x42” so good for donation

Also made a few kennel quilts for pets in Nebraska

Last of February

Where did February go?  I did have a couple finishes, my Moda  Bake Shop “Love” quilt will be donated to QFK (Quilts for Kids)...I’ll make more of these, so fun to use up charm squares.

And I put the finishing touches on the “Countdown to Christmas “ quilt, I love it! Flannel backing, cats.

Goals for March are another child’s quilt, aiming for one per month. Plus working on a quilt from APQ (American Patchwork and Quilting) Quiltalong, Sew Many Strips.  And anything else that catches my fancy!  Too many I want to make and not enough time...
