I've umm-ed and aah-ed for a few days, wondering if I will be able to fit in an extra project this month as a One Monthly Goal. When I started signing up for OMG on Heidi's Red Letter Quilts I told myself I would use it as a way to rummage around and find projects that hadn't seen the light of day for a long time.
Keeping in mind that goals should be achievable I've set myself a small one for March. In 2014 I started the quilt Snowflake Land from Quiltmania (too fun to resist) and I had high hopes of making a block a month....
This is how far I got —
So my goal for this month is to finish Block Two. Below shows where I was at when this quilt went into hibernation...wish me luck! (I have about 23 days to do this - no sweat huh?!)
I'm also linking up to Super Mom - No Cape - every Monday Susan has a linky party where we can share our hand embroidery projects. Thanks Susan.

And while I'm blogging I thought I'd quickly show you the two stitchery blocks below. I told myself my evenings were going to be filled with needleturn and EPP this year and I was going to have a break from handstitching... hmmm... something happened and I ended up starting Tiny Teacup Teddies...a Rag-tag Stitchin' design by Michelle Ridgeway.
These have mostly been stitched in Cottage Garden Threads, I love the variegations of these. (Don't forget you can always click on a picture to see more detail).
OK time to get back to work :-)
'till next time,
the tiny teacup teddies are a delight and your other project looks an exciting one to be doing too

I love those threads! These are the cutest bears ever. You know, if you decided you didn't want to finish that original quilt, block one makes a WONDERFUL wall hanging!
ReplyDeleteAll your blocks are lovely! Your little snowman is too cute!
ReplyDeleteThose snowman blocks are amazing!! Can't wait to see the next one finished. The tea cup teddie is lovely too.
ReplyDeleteLove the snowmen. They are great blocks. A worthy goal. Could you pls tell me which edition of Quiltmania this pattern is in. I would like to find it.
ReplyDeleteLove your stitching on the teddy blocks. They are so adorable. Sometimes we can't stick to our plans when these temptations come along.
Love the snowman blocks, they are very cute! And those stitchery's are gorgeous! Michelle has amazing stitchery patterns!
ReplyDeleteGood luck on your block two, block one is adorable, wonderful fabrics :) Such sweet stitcheries by Michelle! As long as you are doing something enjoyable in the evening, I wouldn't be bothered with worrying about your resolution just now. I find resolutions come together gradually through the year, not so much straight in at the start :)
ReplyDeleteSetting the goal for one block is a great way to keep the project moving along Raewyn. It will be so cute when finished!
ReplyDeleteMaybe those variegated threads are why you could not resist doing more stitcheries. :) Those teddies could be why too. Very sweet!
Nice blocks
