March 2019 – Quilts & Adventures

Quilt Diary: Update on March projects

Hello! Spring is in the air finally in San Jose. Still a bit nippy but the sun is shining finally. Makes this quilter very happy.

Wanted to give everyone a progress report this week on my March projects.

Quilt Diary: Update on Sew-A-Longs

It is Hockey Wednesday and I find myself at my favorite blogging place – Starbucks! I’ve been on a good roll blogging the past few weeks so I certainly don’t want to break that trend. So I have been sitting here for the past 30 minutes flipping through my pics to see what I have done this week. Since last weekend was hockey weekend not much sewing and quilting really got done. Although, I am not disappointed in my progress. I spent most of the weekend working on my sewalongs and my March one monthly goal.
