Happy April! I am so ready for spring. I hope it is going to come around my way soon, although today is supposed to be in the 50's. Yippee!

What the question is, what did I accomplish this month? Well, not as many finishes as February, but I have a lot of nice starts and some new quilt tops.


1. Casserole Carrier
2. 2014 Pantone Challenge Quilt
3. Mod Olive block
4. RMQG QAYG Demo sample
5. Tree quilt top and quilting
6. Tree quilt back and board basting tips

A Weekend of Sewing

 Well, the weather here is back to winter. I guess that means more sewing, so not such a bad thing. I finally got started on my Mod Olives project, after everyone else has finished theirs. I must say I really like it.
I struggled a bit with it, but I think the next one will be easier, especially if I keep working on it.

I also finished off quilting the trees on my Tree quilt.








I'm quite pleased with how the trees turned out. I'm ready to move on to the next section of quilting, I just need to order some more Aurifil # 5004 grey thread before I run out. 

And speaking of yummy Aurifil thread, my Pantone quilt top won the Pantone Challenge. Yippee, Skippee, I have some Aurifil thread coming my way! Check out the other winners On the Windy Side.




I'm linking up today to Anything Goes Monday at Stitch by Stitch

Joining In the "Mod Olives" Quilt-A-Long

Jenny at Sew Kind of Wonderful is having a Quilt-A-Long (QAL), using her Quick Curve Ruler. I joined one of her QAL a couple of years ago and made my Urban Nine Patch baby quilt that I just love. So, I think it's time to join in again.

Sew Kind of Wonderful
Last night I went into my stash to look for fabric combinations. What do you think of this?























I've ordered some Kona "Coal" for the background, this was the darkest grey I had in my stash. I think "Coal" will be darker but a bit warmer. I also think I'd like to get a little more "Text" fabric for the centers of the block. I'm pretty excited about this project, I haven't done a QAL in a while. Yippee, Skippee!!!
