I think we are starting book 2 tonight, I’ll have to check with her and go find it in the basement. She’s so excited to watch the movie and she loved reading the book together every night before bed. Hoping to get as much of it quilted as I can this weekend, but I’m taking Cassie to the gym tomorrow for a makeup session, and then I’ve promised her we can watch the first Harry Potter movie since we finished the book last night. Not sure what I’ll do in the wider border yet, but it will be something simple. I’m planning on quilting around each pentagon after I stitch in the ditch on the sashing. I just spent the last couple of hours cutting the batting – of course that had to be done twice because the first time I wasn’t thinking and had it folded in half when I cut for the width and only had half of what I needed! – and then doing the basting with the Free Fuse Powder that I talked about in my last post. ![]() But since I’ve finished my OMG projects for the month (post to come soon) I decided I needed to work on something. I finished this quilt top last month and wasn’t planning on quilting this this month. Posted on FebruCategories 2022 UFO Challenge, Finish, OMG 2 Comments on February OMG Results Pentagon EPP Quilt Update I’m determined to get things off my UFO list this year, no matter how small they are! Linking up to OMG finishes at Elm Creek Quilts. It’s so cool the things they do at school to celebrate these special days during the school year. ![]() ![]() It’s 2/22/22 and my little 2nd grader was so excited to wear 2 different shoes, a tie and I did 2 braids in her hair today. House is empty today, I only have a few household chores to do, so I’m hoping to get a lot of the quilting done today. Since I finished these projects, I basted and started quilting another project, I posted about that last week. I have 3 more of these runners to make with holiday fabrics, we’ll see if I can fit them in soon. It’s pretty easy when you use charm packs. The first one I ever made was using 2.5″ squares and that was difficult. I’ve made Cathedral Window things before, using the Missouri Star method. The other project was the Valentine’s runner for my island. I even put a zipper in the side – first time for me! – and the pillow insert is a little small, but that’s ok, I think she’ll like it anyway. I knew I’d be able to finish these small projects this month, but I didn’t think I’d finish them so quickly! The first one is a runner for my sister’s makeup table and since there were extra pieces we didn’t need for the runner length, I made a small pillow for her that matches. ![]() I should be back soon with a finish – that quilt will be bound soon! Posted on MaCategories Cassie, Cross Stitch, OMG March OMG Projects I’ll have to check on that soon so I can start working on them. I need to find out how many kids are in my son’s 5th grade class, I’d like to make one for each of them and donate them to the school. I’ve also been pretty busy this month with orders, it’s time for everyone to start buying graduation gifts and Class of key fobs are my biggest seller every year. So far this is a pretty easy stitch, I think I’m about 15-20% done with it already after only a couple of evenings of work. I love the colors, the design and I plan to finish it the way they did on the website. There’s a companion cross stitch piece that I’m going to do as well, Stitch-o-graphy. They are doing it as a SAL, but I’m not following that I’m just doing it on my own. Since I finished both of the SAL and had time left before the next sections would come out, I started working on Quilt-o-graphy from Fat Quarter Shop.
