January's Goal

OMGoodness I was able to meet my first One Monthly Goal at Elm Street Quilts in the nick of time.  Twenty Disappearing Four-Patches completed in January which brings the total to 45.

Admittedly, I procrastinated this month. The last twelve blocks were completed just this past week. Although I love working with red and white fabric, I noted that I did not feel like sewing. I figured out why; I was not happy with how my sewing room / office was laid out. I was not comfortable working in the room. The feng shui was off.  I rearranged the room specifically the location of the sewing machine.  I like it much better and hope to make more progress soon.

Heart Stitches

Yay! I have a fun needlepoint project to stitch today while I join other hand stitchers at Kathy's Quilts. I am revisiting something that I started in the fall.

I doubt if I'll get it finished in time for Valentine's Day but it is the perfect season to enjoy stitching on it. I love this fancy pink thread which will be the center of the white row.

Also, I am getting down to the wire for OMG hosted at Elm Street Quilts. I have six more blocks to piece by the end of the month.

It is my first time joining and it is a relief that Patty gives bloggers the last day although she begins the OMG link a few days sooner.

Turn 4 Patches Into 16

Now that the holidays are past, there is more time for sewing. I have returned to working on my red and white quilt which was started last year. This block is commonly referred to as the Disappearing Four Patch. I don't get it. The finished block is 16 patches. Lol.

I am using as many red and white prints that I can find in order to have a scrappy look. Twenty-five blocks are completed.

This photo is an example of the layout that I will use.

I surprised myself on how I figured out the order of how to sew and press to get all the intersections to meet and twist so they lay flatter.

This week, I am excited to link for the first time to One Monthly Goal at Elm Street Quilts. I need a motivational deadline. This is the link up:  Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal January Linkup.  My January Goal is to complete 20  more blocks which will add to a total of 45.

It's been awhile since I have linked with Esther Aliu's WIPS on Wednesdays, and I am delighted to participate again.
