Today, I am squeezing under the wire to report my mid-May goals update. I am linking up with “A lovely year of finishes”.

My Button

My goal for May was simple….finish 9 small projects (which included the list below)

  • Etsy order for Chair Bags
    Completed and sent. See this post
  • Madrona Road Mini Quilt
    Finished and posted yesterday.

  • 18″ Pillow for Quilt Guild Pillow Swap
    Underway, pattern chosen – using a pillow pop design. 
  • Finish machine quilting “Four Seasons in One Day” Quilt
    No more progress
  • Start one of the mini quilts (see side bar)
    Not started.

So overall, I don’t think to bad, about 50% of projects finished or underway. I also completed a set of pot holders which I blogged about here.

The cushion cover, I am still working on the design but I am thinking of using a design from the book Pillow Pop. See the flickr group here.

Don’t forget to go and take a look at the mosaic contest over at Stitch in Color, voting ends tomorrow.
