April Accomplishments and May Goals

April was a great month for creativity for me. I finished 2 big projects and I think this poncho was the biggest one. I like doing crochet because it's mostly mindless but this poncho was required a lot of focus and attention. I loved every minutes of it and I can't wait for an opportunity to wear it next fall/winter.
​

My other big finish for the month was the Oak Moth quilt. This was another project that was a blast to work on.
​

I also got 6 veterans quilts quilted.
​

Finally, I finished this veterans quilt yesterday and I finished the blue shawl a few days ago. Both of these are ready for donation.

My goals for April were:
- finish 2 veterans quilts - finished 1, but have 2 more almost complete
- finish the Oak Moth quilt, including quilting and binding  -done!
- quilt 6 veterans quilts - done!
- finish 1 crochet project and continue the poncho and big blanket - I finished 2
- make family beach gifts - I haven't made them, but I have them planned and have all the supplies
