The Snowbirds roll into town today! I am busy preparing an Uno De Mayo feast to celebrate! Yesterday, I made use of two crockpots, and the pressure cooker, and my Kitchenaid.
There'll be no pounds shed around here today haha!
It's possible my goal for May is a bit far-fetched, but I really want to knuckle-down and quilt Summer Gatherings. I try to select project goals that may not have otherwise been a focus, but are still manageable. This may not fit the bill, but I must challenge myself! Plus, it has been awhile since I had a 'real' quilty finish! You may remember Summer Gathering:
It was while working on Summer Gathering last summer that I first met Lara, of BuzzinBumble! Several online friends sent me fabric needed to finish this quilt, and I like to say I have a few friends gathered in this one!
To celebrate the release of her new book, Lara is hosting an amazing Blog Hop that kicks off today, with a fabric giveaway (Vintage Picnic!),
and all these books to be given away through the month!

ReplyDeleteWow, Winter Bloom is amazing! Good luck with your May goal.
ReplyDeleteSummer Gathering is a beautiful quilt and I love it all the more for the fact that it's how we became friends Heidi! Immediately afterwards you surprised the socks off of me with with the adorable Bee journal you made for me.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see your post on Friday! You cook up such great ideas in quilting that I bet you'll spoil your snowbirds with what you made for the feast too!
Love that photo of the quilt all pinned and ready to be quilted!
ReplyDeleteSummer gathering will be a lovely finished quilt.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your goal. Such pretty soft colours in the quilt.
ReplyDeleteOh wow I hope I get lucky this time.Love those fabrics!
ReplyDeletelooks like a fun blog hop, looking forward to following it. This is the first time I have linked up with OMG. Time to join in!
ReplyDeleteSometimes we need to set a lofty goal. And if you don't finish, that's okay too. Good luck.
