Rolling Along With Riley!

That is the  

Riley Blake Challenge!

This needs to be submitted by July but I will feel 

much better if it is done by June.

My summer quilting schedule is tight.

This is my ALYOF for May.

For Baby Harry!

 They say that babies need stimulating colors.

I think this will give Harry allot to look at!

 Many times I prefer colors that are not so traditional.

I think that is covered here. 

That is lime green on the back !

 I attached a hanging sleeve if they want to hang it too.

This month has been extremely busy but I have been able to complete

my AYLOF's for April.

Any Thoughts?

This quilt needs to be quilted during March.

I need it for a gift in April.

Any Thoughts on the quilting?

There is one HST on the left (near the center square) where the contrast is not great.

Would you leave it in or take it out and replace?

This is also my March-ALYOF Goal.

Febuary ALYOF Goal

Well I am coming late to the Febuary goal table !

Being away has set me back posting the ALYOF for this month--but here it is! 

 Starts with left over scrap strips all differant widths.

 They are then cut to 1 inch strips.

Then twisted to make a twine.

There is many uses for this but I have sewn mine circular with a zig zag stitch. 

Just like the cloths line bowls are.

I choose this for my project this month because it is great to travel with .

However a bit messy!

 I will post the completed project the begining of March with ALYOF.

January's ALYOF--Ho Ho Ho!

Late or early?

Guess it really doesn't matter.

It is DONE!

A few weeks ago I designated this to be my 1st ALYOF for 2015.
That post is HERE.

Sorry about all the shadows!

This one was fun to play with all kinds of stitches.

You can hardly see it in the photos, but I Micro-stippled our

name at the bottom.

Do you have a soft spot for Chalkboard Art?

I Love it!

What Am I Doing?

 I agreed to make a quilt for my sons friend.

In my spare time.

Looks pretty self explanatory

(album cover)

Shouldn't be tough!

Paint the back ground and add some applique.

Do some quilting and wah-lah!

REALLY!

I never considered that I didn't have "Spare Time"

 There is only 21 letters on the cover!

I am claiming to have this quilt done as 

my May "ALYOF"

Have I mentioned how wonderful "WIP & ALYOF" is?

These two linking parties are two of the best things I link with
that keep you committed to finishing projects!

I have not been a gold star member but I have been faithful

to the pursuit of getting it

 DONE!

Gotta go get something done!

Summer Solstice in April

 

 

I am quilting this great pattern by Marelize's quilt called Summer Solstices

 

   

I had big dreams when planning the journey for this beauty above! My overly energetic personality and plans went astray as I came down with the "Super Quilter Syndrome". I know this is a foreign disease to most, but when it hits--IT HITS HARD! In hindsight, I should have seen it coming but I was in denial. As this seeped into all aspects of life I found I was just too weak! My brain kept saying--Oh What's A Little More-I can do it!   

 

So..... as I often do, when this energy zapping disease hits--it is time to get REAL! Time for the Super Powers of Mediation, Pondering, Prayer and Reflecting. Once the head is finally clear it is time to "Eat That Frog" Which is my Go-To prescription for just about everything!

 

 

The quilt is now in its final stages!



 These are the fabric I used.

 

 

FYI

Marelize's is having a giveaway and this pattern is part of it. 

Go check out her site at Stitch By Stitch. 

 

This quilt is my ALYOF-For April 

(A Lovely Year Of Finishes).

 

 

 

 

To Marelize:

I will be sending you my photos and requested information very soon.
