Whew, time flies when you’re running around the UK and Europe apparently! The time has come though, to review one’s successes and failures over the last quarter…
As usual I was a tad overoptimistic about what I could get done, considering I was going on holiday and was away a number of other weekends…
1. Madrona Corners – carried over from Q1, this will be quilted by the end of tomorrow, and by the end of the weekend I hope to have the binding on:
Done!
2. Echo Bella – I really want to get this finished this quarter, as I think it will help my improv skills when I try and assemble it all:
Fail :o(
3. Rainbow Road Tote – I totally changed my mind from my original plan for this, and it should be a simple finish, I just need to pull my finger out and do it:
Done!
4. Frog Prince Pouch – this should be another quickie, if I can just get it done before I head on holiday in June, it can hold a little project I have for a summer sew along I’m taking part in:
Fail :o(
5. SS Cushions – because, you know, I need more cushions ;o) Just kidding, I would like to get these done for the technique practice:
Done!
6. Carl Chameleon Tote – again, this should be quick, another pulling my finger out one:
Done!
7. QAYG Table Mats – I really would like better backgrounds for my food blog, and now the evenings are lighter and I can maybe start getting photos in front of the kitchen window, I could do with getting these done:
Fail :o( I was so close too…
8. Piece Bee With You Viewmaster Cushions – I doubt I’ll ever see any more of these blocks now, so I’m just going to make a cushion out of the 4 I have, maybe with a filmstrip type covering over the zip on the back:
Fail :o(
9. Sew Along Bag – more details to be announced over the next few days.
Done!
10. Quilt for Siblings Together – Rhonda did the top and provided the backing for this, I just need to baste, quilt and bind it ready to take to FQR:
Fail :o(
11. Get 3 bag patterns up for sale. I have a lot of this done for 2 patterns so far, I just need to wrap it all up, then I might be recruiting some pattern testers…
Complete, total, utter Fail :o(
Well I got 5/11 done – I shall carry some over though, as some were so close that I might end up looking like I have a more productive Q3 than I deserve ;o)
How did you get on? Have you remembered to link up?
Still gutted about your viewfinder blocks; you need to employ the services of the View Finder General!
Better get that Siblings done 😉
Well done on the finishes, and plan b for the view finder blocks sounds good, Such a shame when people don't fulfil their obligations,
You got a good lot done! I'm looking forward to seeing your bag patterns for sale. 🙂
Hey hey, you could at least update your viewfinder block count since I sent mine in! Unless the mail ate it… O_o
I think you've done awesome work and you're being a bit harsh on yourself putting your fails in red (they can't use red pens at schools anymore you know?!)! I love your sew along bag!
Ooo…I'm excited for your sew-along bag! (I can use a new bag for school for my laptop.)
I kep seeing done done done and thought you;d done really well…Perhaps 11 goals was a little too many but I guess one has to strive for something …
What you did get done was gorgeously creative !
The main thing is that you enjoyed your holiday and time away.
Your patchwork will always wait.
Hugs
Your list was massive, you did very well. I hope you have a lovely Q3 too.
You have done loads, especially if you factor in all your gallivanting time!
Well I think you did really well! I've scrape one finish and it's drying right now
All in all I would say you did pretty well! Can't wait to see what you do this quarter!
Five finishes is fabulous!
You are too hard on yourself, you had some great finishes in there! I would have been delighted with any of them never mind 5 of them 🙂
