I really thought I would finish more things than I did, but I still finished 7 different projects this quarter out of 21. I feel good about that. I keep getting more organized as time goes on, so all is good!

QUILT DIARY: Under the needle for January 2021
How has your January been? Here in California we have had the strangest weather. You may recall that last week we had sunny days in the high 70’s. It began to rain on Friday and hasn’t stopped. We had temperatures drop below freezing over the weekend. Crazy indeed!

This is my second finish for this quarter which puts me ahead of last quarter already (lol!). I am excited to have finished this table runner. This series has it all for someone like me who is a wee bit ADD. I like to work on multiple things and get bored easily. There is piecing, applique, embroidery, and quilting. There was the planning of the colors because I choose not to purchase the kit that is offered (but the pattern is free!) When I redid my kitchen, my main decorating color has been teal. I am not saying other things won’t look great, but I really didn’t have any nice table runners, place-mats or anything. Since I am going to do them, I want things to go more with the chosen gray and teal decor. This was my second such project. (See Christmas set here.) Out of my Quilty Box was this gorgeous fat quarters that I thought was perfect. This fabric line (Moda Walkabout) has been fun with the the stripes.

Quilt Diary: A look back on June and 2nd Quarter and reset for July and 3rd Quarter Goals
Sadly, the only project I finished second quarter was my Strawberry mug rugs in May. I just can’t seem to be disappointed with all the progress I did make on my projects. They just didn’t get finished. I didn’t even finish my June One Monthly Goal with Elm Street. But oh the progress I have made! I think Quarter 3 will be a big quarter for finishes.

I have been pondering since Friday what I would like to get done this month. I have quite a few things on my quarter one list and definitely need to work on them. So I pulled out the list to see what would be my focus of something that has been out there for a long time.
Quilt Diary: Christmas Table Glitz done!
Tutorial on making place mats
It was exciting to finish up my Christmas place mats, napkins, and table runner this past weekend. I am trying to use up all my left over Christmas fabric so I have started some hot pads with mini dresdens on (#tinydresdenparty2019) They were fun to do but more challenging then the typical dresden being about half the size. I have included a link to Quilty Obsessions website where the directions and template for the mini dresden can be found. Enjoy.
