February Finish

Material Girls WIP (Works in Progress) challenge for 2020. We made a list of 10 projects we want to work on this year. Each month I select one and see how far I get. You don't have to finish, just get it out and work on it. 

I mentioned this in my previous post and now I have a finish to share.

I was quilting Frolic trying to get it ready for Best of the Valley. Then I thought "why am I pushing this?" sooooo . . . I put it away and got out a different project.

A few Christmases ago I put out tops and kits and asked family members to look them over and see if there was one they wanted. I was honest and told them I had no idea when I would actually get around to putting it together, but if I knew someone wanted it I might start sooner. This is "Donna's Quilt". Such an original name!! This was a kit from Fons and Porter, purchased who knows when. I pre-cut the strips before visiting my dad and was able to get a good start one evening using the machine I'm leaving at his house.  I was surprised how easily it went together.  I'm just sewing along and then "It's done!" Why not get it basted?  Why not get it quilted?

Another project "finished and out of the house". (However, she won't get it until after a trunk show in early April)

Donna's Quilt
56 x 70 inches

I used rulers for the straight lines and inner spiral curve.
The feathers were all free motion.

I was at Costco last week and saw these gardening gloves.  They looked very much like a new pair of quilting gloves I had just purchased.  However, these were $10 for 10 pair of gloves!  MUCH cheaper than the quilting gloves AND they work well!  The grip makes it easier to hold rulers when doing ruler work quilting.

Thanks for checking in.
