Getting it Done and NewFO

It's the last day of November -- Time to REPORT!
My NOVEMBER Goals were:
 1- Borders on Midnight Flight-  I have some parts pieced for the Border. One side DONE
I still have to decide which color of the MODA Swirl will be on the inside.
So I will Link-up for the last time with the Jo & Nell's Bonnie Challenge HERE.

 2- Make Pieced Sashings for ALOHA LUS - haven't work on these, much :(
 3- Block of the Week - Loyal Union Sampler - kept up with the BOW -DONE
My Blue and White Sampler is looking fun. I found a piece of blowing snow for the Block of the Week this last week of November.  We are taking December off on the Yahoo Group. 
Maybe I'll get more done on the ALOHA Loyal Union Sampler sashings.

Like I showed in my late Mid Month report, HERE. I did finish some of the October goals as well
 I got three quilts moved to the Flimsy/TBQ list. They are pictured up in the To Be Quilted TAB also.
 The oldest one is from 2009 SBS Sarah's Choice Star Swap.   
We sent a signature square with our blocks so I have these sewn together to add to the backing.


 There will be a LINKY with Pam Buda sometime after December 1st to show the Nabby's Dowry Quilts.
 I still have time to get mine quilted, LOL
And Parchezzi is ready for quilting.

 The Link-up for the NewFO is HERE
November's NewFO was my Lori Holt SAL with her NEW Book Quilty Fun!
All parts of this SAL are completed and on the group Flicker page so 
I am eligible for the Prize of the Gracie Girl Stacker.

AND for December I've already started my NewFO--- along with a Multitude of BONNIE HUNTER Quiltville fans all over the world sewing this week-end instead of Black Friday Shopping.
I'm doing scrappy Blues with a red fabric from Nancy Halvorsen called Bittersweet.  
There will be more of these units to show on MONDAY for DWM and the Link-up over at Quiltville.

DECEMBER GOALS- 
1- Work on Celtic Solstice 
2- Make the Weekly parts for the Quilty Fun SAL
3- Guild Block of the Month - Lotto- 
That's all I'm committing to for this month.  It getting busier and I have to have time to wrap gifts and decorate and cook some goodies.

2013 "Get it Done" September Goals/ NewFo Link-up

AUGUST 2013 Goals:
1- WW Fair Banner- NOT DONE (maybe next year)
2- Borders on Somewhere in Time- Blue CUT, but not sewn
3-Make 3 more Blocks and sew together - Midnight Flight, add Border - PARTS DONE
4- NON Quilt Related- Make Blessing dress - DONE

I didn't do as well as I thought I would on my goals but as you saw on my DWM post, I did a LOT at the Fair.

My NewFO was my Pickle Dish/Gameboard quilt that is now called "PARCHEEZI"
This was a class I started in August so it counts as a NewFO. 
 Linking up to Cat Patches HERE


I am ready to sew all the Blocks together and add the border for September. Picture shows the 9 sets of 4 all trimmed and pressed.

September 2013 GOALS:

1- Parcheezi- to flimsy
2- 3 more Midnight Flight Blocks, sew to Flimsy
3- Somewhere in Time (blue)- Borders
4- Star & Crown- Binding

Linking up HERE for Get it Done Challenge

I have Quilt guild next week and could possibly have the Flimsy tops to show.  I know that I should only show my "FINISHES".  My Sew n Vac friend told me that. I might forget if I've shown them so IF I get them to flimsy I might show them now. I'm saving the Star and Crown to 'reveal' at the Walla Walla Valley Quilt Festival.

End of July! New-FO & Get it Done...

I did OK on my July Goals- 2 out of 3 isn't bad considering I had to quilt Rebekah's Baby quilt 
all by myself and went on a Retreat.
JULY Goals:
1-Get 2 Baby Girl Quilts Quilted and Bound, 1 DONE, 1 Needs Binding
2-Cushions and Pillows for the Porch - Nope
3-Re-Make Stitchin' Heaven Quilt -BLUE -Center is done, needs last borders

Sneak peek at quilting on Baby "Katie's Choice" quilt for Grand-daughter #6, Grandchild #19. Because of limited throat space I had to just meander in the center blocks.  The full "reveal" comes on Friday after the Baby Shower.
                                                       "Somewhere in Time"- Blue version 
 Center all sewn together after I "frogged" one 4-patch and put it the right way.  
I'm so glad there was only one and that I found it while sewing it together.
 27 "Midnight Flight" Blocks
 I found 1- 4-patch turned in one of the blocks I finished at Retreat.
Taking pictures has saved my quilt boo-boos this week.
****For my NewFO, I started the Fair Banner****
 HERE on July 15th so it counts as my NewFO.
This one will be one of  the August Goals for sure!  Only 24 days until I set up at the FAIR
AUGUST 2013 Goals:
1- WW Fair Banner
2- Borders on Somewhere in Time- Blue
3-Make 3 more Blocks and sew together - Midnight Flight, add Border.
4- NON Quilt Related- Make Blessing dress

While I was at the Retreat, DH got my front door and porch painted the 'right' color.
I'll Link up with Judy L HERE and with Cat Patches HERE
