May finishes

My quilting/sewing goal for the month of May was to finish sewing the blocks for Emily's quilt.  I did it!!  Yeah!!  On Friday I started laying out all of the blocks to begin sewing the quilt top together.  Here's what it's looking like so far:

Also, remember today is the last day to cast your votes for the blogger's quilt festival at Amy's Creative Side.  My quilt is #81 under the baby quilt category:)



Blogger's Quilt Festival

I loved looking at all of the quilts during last year's blogger's quilt festival.  It's hosted by Amy's Creative Side and corresponds to the actual quilt market they hold. It was held this past weekend in Portland. 

 

This year I thought I would add one of my quilts to the festival.  This has been one of my favorite baby quilts I've made--oh wait, it was my first baby quilt:)  Any many more to come I'm sure!

May goal

Another month of quilting goals to link up to:

Lots of baseball games going on for the kids this month so my goal is to finish up these 9-patch blocks for Emily's shortcake quilt.  It feels like I've been working on them forever so it will be nice to be done with them:)

Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day:)
