Hmmm - mixed feelings about Quarter 1 - I think that's always the case. There are so many new projects at the start of the year, that I find this quarter is more about starting than finishing! If I'm honest, every quarter is about starting, but some quarters I finish more than I managed in the last three months! You can find my original list here.
I have a final finish to share with you today: a little bath time embroidery hoop. This has been on the list for a while, but when I actually sat down and got on with it, it didn't take long at all! I was inspired by this picture on pinterest. Which I then discovered was based on an illustration by Kurt Halsey - if you do a google image search, he has some wonderful drawings! It's not identical, but I like it. It's stitched in Finca #16 perle thread in stem stitch, back stitch and French knots on a scrap of Architextures cross hatch in Lake - for this reason it's going to hang on Jessica's wall, because I used that same fabric as the background for her baby quilt a year ago!
As for the rest of the list.... My favourite finish this quarter is the My Small World quilt. It's been nearly 2 years in the making and I didn't always like it. But now I absolutely love it.
I also finished Mia's big girl quilt,
And a quilt for Baby Finn
I finished to zippy pouches: one for my hand sewing threads...
...And one because I just love anything Harry Potter!
That's it. There were so many projects on my list that had I just knuckled down and got on with them, would be finished by now. But no. They are destined to reappear on the Q2 list...
