In March I set a list of 10 items I wanted to get done. I forgot that March break was there where I basically was at the mercy of my school-agers and I got really sick with the flu the week before that.
Here is the
summary of my goals and how I managed.
1. Complete my daughter’s queen-size quilt!! This was my biggest success especially as her birthday was in March. I will do a separate post soon on this with all the details. Here is a sneak peek at it on the bed.
2. Knit alpaca wristers (FREE pattern link)
3. Knit ER wristers with sock yarn (Did Not Happen)
4. Cut pieces for a king-size quilt. I not only did this but I got a lot of it pieced also!! I’m using “The Big Star Quilt” pattern by the Missouri Star Quilt Company. (FREE pattern link)
5. Longarm Quilt a queen-size quilt for a client. I was waiting for the client to make some decisions so it is delayed until beginning of April (Did Not Happen)
6. Longarm Quilt a generous queen-size quilt for a client. This is waiting until I can get to my mother-in-laws and use her king-size frame (Did Not Happen)
7. Longarm Quilt 2 baby donation for Project RED
8. Crochet 2 squares Stay-Cation Afghan (Did Not Happen)
9. Knit TR hockey sweater. I am using a Mary Maxim pattern for a Child`s Hockey Sweater. I love how it is turning out so far, despite some bobbin “how do you use these again“ moments.
10. Create 2 items and post to Etsy shop. I did this also and made a pretty Spring Cloche hat and listed it on the shop. (FREE pattern link) The second one I did not make but I added a few listings. I am aiming for one new creation to add to the shop per week to get my inventory up.
What are my April goals? Check them out on my Crafts page. I keep them up to date if you want to know what I’ve accomplished during the month. As I write a blog post I also include the link there.
What do you hope to create in April?

Thanks! Yes, I was so busy I gave myself a stress injury. This month is going to be much slower.
Thank you! It is the first quilt I've made with such bright colours. Both my daughter and I adore how it turned out too.
Thanks, Holly 🙂
I love the "Quilting Queen" title. I'm going to start calling myself that around the house 😉
Thanks for the blog feedback.
This month may be a disappointing churned out rate due to my sore arms but it does ebb and flow.
OMGoodness the quilts are so beautiful!!! I have wanted one for so long but that is simply not a skill I have been blessed with. Absolutely Beautiful!
Thank you! It sure takes a lot of patience but I do love the end result.
