Mid-Month Check in for June Goals

Checking in today for my June goals that I am doing for “A lovely year of finishes”

My Button

This month’s main goal will be:

  • Finish a baby quilt top
    Well I have two underway, a hexagon english paper pieced quilt and a wonky star quilt. I posted progress here for WiP Wednesday.

….the smaller projects that have been swimming around in my head are:

  • Market Tote for me (using the pattern from Patchwork, please)
    I have picked out fabric but I have not started yet 
  • iPad cover (again I have been eyeing the pattern from Patchwork, please) Changed to a coin purse.
    Completed and posted here

  • More Cushions/Pillows (there have been a couple I want to try from Pillow pop but I also have a couple of others in mind).
    Finished the one cushion based on the pillow pop design which I named “Sea Spray”, posted a couple of times here and here.

  • Hand-quilting on the Four Season’s in One Day quilt.
    Not started but did get a cool frame from one of my quilting guild friends that will may this easier.

Weekend Finishes {06.17.2013}

This weekend, I had some projects I needed to catch up on, one being a birthday gift for a friend. It took me a while to decide what I would make, I had one hundred and one ideas. I finally decided on making my first coin purse. After a false start (which we won’t talk of), I finally finished my little gift mid-day on Sunday and dropped it off an hour later (with instructions it still needed to dry for 8 hours). A little close I know 😉

Details: Coin Purse
Design: Michelle Wilkie (Squeek Crafts – that’s me)
Silver Frame + Glue: While Baby Naps (Etsy Store, glue can only be sent within the US)
Outside Fabric: Carnaby Street  – 60’s Waves Midnight (Purchased from: Moona Fabrics – Etsy)
