AYOLF - February 2015

In my efforts to clear out some of my UFO's (and my conscience!) this year, I'm joining A Year of Lovely Finishes and hope to rescue at least one project from The Black Hole each month.

 

The monthly link-ups will work in nicely with my UFO Challenge at my Guild, so I can kill two flimsies birds with one stone!  At Guild, in January we turned in a list of projects numbered 1-12 which we would like to finish throughout the year.  At the meeting, our VP calls out a number, and we are to work on whichever project is listed at that number for the month.  If we finish it, then we can bring it in for Show N Tell to the next meeting and have our name entered for a prize!

For February the number "1" was called, and #1 on my list is to finish piecing the Bargello Tree Skirt by Martha Eddy....

I started this project at Runaway Retreat two years ago.  It is not an easy pattern, but definitely a rewarding one!  My feature fabric is a wonderful print by Jason Yenter ...

The selvedge is no longer attached, but I believe it is from his Winter Wonderland collection.  So far I have two sections complete and attached, with another almost ready.  That would put me at close to halfway done.

I remember spending about two days on getting this much done at retreat, so I know it won't go quickly.  I do think I can finish the piecing before the end of the month though.  One advantage is that I am going to retreat at the end of the month, so I can hurry up and finish it there if I have to :*)

Wish me luck!!!

Hugs & Blessings!
