Deadlines!

This year I am determined to work harder to ensure that I meet deadlines with time to spare. So far, I have  completed all my targets, except for Tag Tuesday, this month. All three of the pieces of work for the Material Girls exhibition were completed in time (just) for the exhibtion. This has now been and gone, for details of further exhibitions and images, look at our blog and website.


The reversible quilt above was my UFO for February. It was the second quilt I started (I think in Oct '07)  and the majority of the blocks were completed at that time. Several years later, I added the sashing and the binding, only to finish stitching it this week. It took me approx half an hour to complete, so I'm not sure why it has stayed as a UFO for so long.

This months UFO is to make all nine blogs of a BOM quilt called "Journey of a Quilter" that I purchased from Antique Angel. I now feel that this is too easy as I only have one to make, so I am going to push the challenge to included all the embroidery on the blocks as well. Plus I want to complete the whole quilt by the summer. Yesterday, I completed two of the blocks, many more are almost finished, so the target is possible with some effort.


My pages for the calendar challenge in March are ready and started, with February being fully completed. However, I failed to look at any of the other calendar pages last month, but with more free time now, I will make sure that I visit them all during March. There is some really fantastic and inspiration work, so even if your not taking part in the challenge have a look.



I haven't managed to make any tags this month, although I have planned all the designs that I want to complete. Hopefully, I will have caught up by this week and start blogging the new tag each Tuesday.
