Project Quilting--Hope Springs Eternal

I was excited to see the first prompt for this year's Project Quilting challenge.  It is one of the few times I've had an idea right away.  Last week I went to Los Angeles with Sarah for the annual IMTA Convention.  There she competed in several acting and modeling categories hoping to catch the attention of talent managers and agents =) We had so much fun!

One Monthly Goal—January

I'm working on getting back in the saddle this year.  I missed my OMG most of last year!  The first week of this month I'm out of town with my Sarah, so I really only have 3 weeks to work on this month's focus goal.

February OMG Goal

So, I didn't get my January goal finished ... I'm working on it slowly but surely.

Lesson Learned

Saturday evening Sarah talked me into a much-needed haircut.  For years now I've always given the same request:  trim with long layers.  Up until two days ago, I always got the haircut I wanted ...

Well, today my hair is 3 inches shorter and the layers are, well, extreme.  Oh well ...  Next time I'll be more specific about what I want done.  I guess I'll learn to live with it for now.

January OMG

It's been a while not only since I've posted, but also since I've really focused on my sewing.  This year I re-upped for another stint in Stash Bee after taking last year off.  I've also made a sort-of master list of projects to focus on this year.  For another post ...

Still in Process ...

This was going to be my big finish post for the year, but I'm still not quite there.  Here are some progress photos.

July OMG

For this month's goal I finally settled on making Sarah's Girl's Camp pillowcase.

June ALOYF Finish

About half way through the month, I really didn't think I'd meet my goal.  I still had 32 Drunkard's Path units to finish and all 4 blocks to piece together.

June OMG Goal

I've been really out of touch for the last couple of months.  I'll hopefully work on getting caught up over the next little while,

Sooo, I didn't meet my goal last month.  I made significant progress on marking the quilt, but I didn't even get it sandwiched.  There was a confluence of events including a big work project (read: extra hours) and spring break that means
