february goals

in the nick of time....both the february mini AND the stars in a time warp got finished...first, the mini...

had to be hearts, right?  and used that lovely print posted earlier....i have only one valentine-y piece, so will be keeping this for myself.  linking up with wendy again this month....and here's the 'stars' quilt...

i think this was my oldest UFO, started back in 2014-15 i think...a barbara brackman sew-along...just needs a wash and its special label that barbara always provides.  a different repro fabric style was chosen for each week and i think i made 3 of each type, mostly all from stash but did have to get a couple of pieces from my go-to repro gal cyndi.  will be linking up with patty over at One Monthly Goal for this one...very time-consuming due to all the seams and per lori's definition, a most humble quilt.  generous twin size and densely quilted, as you can see from this...

this was nearly full when i started and wasn't sure i'd have any left but there are a couple of yards....and then this got put into the hoop...

my scrappy christmas trees....two rows done already.  this will go much faster than 'stars' as there are no seams and the batt is a poly.  can it get finished in march with 3 extra days?  we'll see...alas, no marathon olympics sewing time tho.   *** spring has almost sprung here in maryland so it was time to bring out my spring sox....

these were a christmas gift from my dear daughter...and horizontal stripes make even your feet look fat...LOL...which they aren't.  ***  it's an exercise vacation day so will catch up on a few tasks and more s'more sewing.  maybe that will be my march OMG, to get the top done and basted.  and i've already started the march mini too.  rising gasoline prices keep me pretty much within city limits, but i did get to lunch with a quilty peep this week, in a real restaurant with no masks...and lastly, 10 months today since the hip thing and am nearly back to "normal" walking.  it's been my primary work with a great payoff.  i do feel blessed indeed!

    Things seem to be looking up indeed. Your February mini is very sweet, perfect for this month. I also love your Stars in a time warp, wishing now that I had participated in that bom.

    Love your Stars in a Time Warp! I set mine on point as well so it looks similar. Congrats on finishing! Your mini is lovely too.

    Two great quilts, Grace! Love the stars. It's always interesting to me what happens to a quilt block when set on point. Just a change in perspective, I guess.
    Congrats on nearly normal walking. To some it may seem a little thing but it sure makes a body feel better (at least it did for me.

    What a fabulous February mini!! We all need a bit more heart these days. So much angst and destruction in this world. Your Stars in a Time Warp is gorgeous!! I don't ever worry about how old a UFO is, especially if it is finished!! Good Job!

    Love your mini. I have a pile of stars for my Time Warp quilt, and more blocks prepped to sew more of them. Yours is beautiful.
