April Progress and May Goals

Well, that's not a bad montage of projects for a month's worth of finishes. Granted these are all pretty small projects, they are still projects that are done!

The Summer Sunset quilts are not finished but the tops are together and that's huge! Karen's Safari quilt was started and finished in April. That's almost unheard-of. 

April was capped off with quilting 4 veterans quilts. These were all heavily quilted with feathers as practice for my feather quilting class with Bethanne Nemesch.

Here are my ending stats for the month:
Starting UFO 8
Finished YTD 3
Started YTD 2
Ending UFO 7
Other major projects - 1
Veterans quilts made -
Veterans quilts quilted - 18
Fabric Postcards - 1
Pet Beds - 6
​​Quilted for others - 2
​Crochet blankets - 4
​Crochet hats - 10
Doll outfits - 6
Placemats - 8
​Pillows - 2
​Donated items - 11

Even with all that done, I didn't quite get all of my actual goals done:
My goals for April:
- finish the Summer Sunset tops -YES!
- finish the feather quilting class practice on veterans quilts - YES!
- dye fabrics for vulture quilt border - YES!
- make some things with the animal print leftovers - not yet, but I have a plan
​- make a new set of fabric postcards for upcoming birthdays -  about half way there

May is a short month for me because we have our family beach week coming up at the end of the month but I still have goals:

1. I'll continue working on the green Club Noir quilt during quilt club sewing days and will probably finish the top at home once the blocks are done. It would be great to get that top finished this month.
2. Get the border added to the vulture quilt. This is really my primary goal for the month
   
3. Finish all the serger projects (pillowcases for the boys, walker caddies)
   
4. Make new postcards for upcoming birthdays
   
5. ​Finish cutting out all of the veterans/donation quilt kits that I have planned, including doing something with the leftover safari fabric
   
6. Quilt more veterans quilts, I'm way behind​
