DONE - Apirl OMG

I un-stuffed and re-stuffed and re-attached the leaves:

April OMG - Pineapple

I want to repair this pineapple pillow I got in 2004:

The leaves were chewed up by a puppy and pulled out, so they need to be repaired and reattached.  Perhaps I can shift the fabric a bit to make the bite marks less noticeable?  Also, I'd like to make sure the tag on the bottom is completely removed.

March OMG - done

I said that I would: "quilt this, echo-stitching with machine quilting and hand-quilting with pearl cotton on the inside of the rings.  (( And post about it on time!  :P ))"

And I did.

It is not 100% complete, but that was not my goal.  I just wanted to make progress, so I am pleased that I got done what I did.  :)

March OMG - Double Wedding Ring

Linking back to our host: http://www.elmstreetquilts.com/p/omg-one-monthly-goal.html

Last week, I got to take a class with Victoria Findlay Wolfe on Double Wedding Rings.  This is what I came up with:

Here it is ready to be basted, but the kitties interrupted...

And then before I posted those, I got distracted with the quilting, so this is what it looks like right now:

My One Monthly Goal is to quilt this, echo-stitching with machine quilting and hand-quilting with pearl cotton on the inside of the rings.  (( And post about it on time!  :P ))  I am hanging out with my Victoria, who is home sick with a fever today, so while she is sleeping, I am making progress.

February OMG done

I am not sure if I will be allowed to link up still, but I did finish this in February and it is only 10:45p my time on the 28th.  :P   I finished up the binding the other day, but she has been holding on to it pretty tightly, so I haven't been able to take a good photo...

She likes it.  :)  <3   That is what is important.

OMG - February

This month I will finish the binding on a quilt for my daughter.  She will be 6 years old on the 18th.

Purple Zebra - DONE!

Ha!  I am not very good at this blogging/posting picture-thing...

 As I was taking the above photo, my cat, Sheree, (like the French 'mon cherie') came up and made the fabric all wobbly.

A mostly flat view.

And one of the back!

This was a good goal because I tried something that did not come easily to me.  I got a bit frustrated because my stitches were not very straight or even.  But this was my first attempt at embroidery and I did enjoy parts of it a little.  I liked using the pearl cotton for the hair.  And purple is my favorite color.

I think the part I liked most about doing this OMG (which I told serveral people about!) is that I can see how much I need to keep up the momentum to finish things - I got distracted after day 4 or 5.  Lots of stitching yesterday/today because I procrastinate...  :P
