March Goal - Pick a Patch of Potted Plants

 I chose 12 projects to complete for the year 2026.  I do tend to stray away from my goals, unfortunately. So I will declare a March Monthly Goal and see if I can finish these within a month. Plus, with the UFO Challenge, maybe I will keep my goal.

For the Month of March, I would like to finish Potted Plants. This is one of the projects on my Annual Goal.

There is a space on my Camper that I can hang small quilts. This one would be good to hang in that space. It's kind of outdoorsy, too, for a camper. I think I can just hang my small quilts with those Command Strips - I do not want to drill any unecessary holes into the camper walls.

Completed Swallows Quilt

 This is a quilt that I started a little while back. I put it on my 2026 Challenge and I decided to try to finish it in January. This was my original post where I just had it basted. Surprisingly, I did finish it! 



The back is just plain orange and so is the binding. I had a little extra orange fabric so I figured that I might as well just use it for the binding, too.


I really like my new Swallows quilt. I kind of like the size of this one, too. It will be good to throw on my legs or just lay on the back of the couch. This pattern is by Elizabeth Hartman and it came in a Sew Sampler box.

I am definitely not the best at posting blogs (or Instagram, or Facebook, or anything else). So this challenge might help me to make a few blog posts, too.

I am linking up my finish to Connie's Completed January quilt project

Thank you, Connie, for helping me along with my unfinished quilt projects.

A Red Heart for February

 

The Color of the Month for February is RED. Seems logical. I sewed this heart block. It has yet to be attached to anything yet - possibly a small basket down the road. 


I am linking my Red Heart to Connie at Freemotion by the River.  Thanks, as always, to Connie for these small challenges throughout the month. Sometimes I need a push to get started and keep me going.

Teal Mittens for a frosty day!

 I thought that I would like to participate in the Color Challenge of the Month at Freemotion by the River. Plus, along the way I can actually sew some of the cute patterns that I receive monthly from Make Mine Mini membership. I have sewn a few, but I would like to try to sew one each month. 

This month, I decided to sew the Mittens and combine it with the Teal Color of the month. Of course, I had to take a photo of my mittens in the Pennsylvania snow. This is snow on my front porch.


Thanks to Connie for this fun Color Challenge!
