January Accomplishments and February Goals

2024 got off to a great start for me with the completion and donation of 102 surgery drain bags. I didn't really intend to make that many but I started cutting fabric and had a hard time stopping!
​

I also made 7 pet beds for donation, finished my purple cardigan (that I wear often) and finished a blanket for a friend. 
​

The two biggest projects that I worked on this month are the Red Sunset quilt and the blue quilt top. The blue quilt top is done and read for quilting. Red Sunset needs to be off the longarm in the next week, there are a lot of veterans quilts that need quilting!

I've got 3 crochet projects underway, not including my travel hat bag. In January I finished off 7 balls of yarn and donated 4, for a total of 11. My yarn stash is starting to get under some semblance of control.
