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 For May my goals are: - finish 2 veterans quilts - quilt a large donation quilt for my quilt club - make family beach gifts - dye fabric for the new guest room quilt (Eclipse pattern) - start a symmetry quilt My YTD stats: Quilts - 3 Veterans quilts made - 3 Donation lap quilts - 3 Veterans quilts quilted - 16 Fabric Postcards - 7 Crochet blankets - 3 Crochet shawls - 4 Garments (sewn and cochet) - 1 Cricut projects - 3 Balls of yarn used or gifted - 20

Beautiful projects Vicki! I can see where your poncho would need some concentration while working on it.

That’s a pretty impressive list of accomplishments. The shawl looks great but like you said, I tend to choose crochet projects that don’t take a like of focus.

Your 2 big projects turned out great! You always have a lot of donation projects finished and I'm sure they are greatly appreciated.
