Sadly my fellow adventurers I did not finish my January goal. I was so very close. I definitely was thinking way to big. I managed to add borders, piece the back, baste, and quilt the borders and part of the blocks, but didn’t get finished as I hoped. So for February, it will be finishing my brother’s quilt. I need to finish quilting, labelling, and binding. That will be my February Goal www.elmstreetquilts.com at February One Monthly Goal http://www.elmstreetquilts.com/2018/02/one-monthly-goal-february-goal-setting.html .

Quilt Diary: Running out of Time
Hello Adventurers!
Just an update on my progress so far this week. Monday was a rough day at work so I bought some unhealthy food to eat on the drive home and headed straight to my sewing room. I needed to decompress.

Quilt Diary: Two Step Quilt
Hi Adventurers:
As I mentioned in my earlier quilt post this month, my goal is to finish a quilt I made using a jelly roll and Jenny Doan’s (MSQC) two step block. I liked the block and pulled out a jelly roll to make it with no intentions other than to try out the block. My daughter Caitlin passed onto me that my brother was hoping I would make him a quilt too. In 2017, I made my sister Continue reading “Quilt Diary: Two Step Quilt”
Travel Diary: Air Canada

I have got to say, I am not a big fan of Air Canada. Both trips my first flight was delayed Continue reading “Travel Diary: Air Canada”
Travel Diary: Montreal Jan 2018
So wrapping up our last couple of days here. Not a lot of things open on New Years. We ate in and ordered delivery with all the cold snowy conditions. I must be getting use to cold because I was thinking 1F/-17C was warmer. Continue reading “Travel Diary: Montreal Jan 2018”
Quilt Diary: 2018 Goals
