February 2024 - Fun Finishes

Already two months down in this new year, it seems to be going quickly! I had a good month with a work trip to San Diego, a visit from my cousin and her family and lots of crafty time.  San Diego skyline at night  San Diego Gaslamp Quarter I finished my first quilt for the year, this one was a UFO from 2021 that I made at a Shipshewana retreat. I got the pattern and fabric from Pumpkinvine Quilting, which used to be in Middlebury, IN - sadly closed now. I purchased the Sew Kind of Wonderful quilting ruler last year and this is the second quilt I've done with it. I quilted a combination of ruler work and freehand quilting and had a heck of a time with thread breaks. I think that it is time for my machine to have a spa day after quilting 170 quilts! I had the machine serviced once since I got it in 2011, so it's probably time. I am so glad to have this one bound and finished and ready to gift. First quilt project and first completed quilt UFO for the year!  Urban Chained quilt, p
