It is May, how did that happen. Well it is time to set my goals for A Lovely Year Of Finish for May. I have decided that my big goal for May will be to get the memory quilt shirts cut. I have put it off long enough. By the time I finish it will be so hot they won't need quilts. If you've not read before I'm doing four memory quilts for a friend and her children. They suddenly lost their husband/father in December, and I thought it would be nice for them to have a keepsake. What I wasn't prepared for was my procrastination at actually cutting the shirts. But it has to be done and this is the month they get chopped.
I also want to get more quilts finished. I have bought the ruler base for my Avante and a couple of rulers, so I want to experiment with those. I have several quilts to use for practice, beginning with my Star Crossed quilt, ok it is Tucker's quilt. I made it for his dog bed that stays under my long arm machine. He is such a faithful quilt buddy, I wanted him to have a quilt on his little bed.
And my last goal for the month is to get another quilt cut. I really need to do two or three, but I want to get my PB&J blocks quilt cut out. It should be easy to cut and easy to piece so I want to get some work done on it. Right now it is just a bundle of fabric I purchased, but I love it and want to play with it soon.
May is going to be a busy month, but I have a three day weekend at the end, so hopefully everything will get done, and maybe even a little more. I am linking up with Shanna of Fiber of All Sorts and Melissa of BitterSweet Designs.
Good luck with your May goals. Tucker's quilt looks great and as a faithful companion he definitely deserves the best. I must set my goals for May but the difficulty is picking which projects to prioritize.
