A month ago I decided to try to quilt 3 quilts a week. I was trying to reduce the 53 quilt tops needing finishing down to around 20. I sold 15 tops and quilted 10 in 30 days, but I started 3 new ones. Let's see, that means I have 31 that still need finishing. I didn't quite meet my goal of 3 a week but I'm pretty happy with my progress. I finished the binding on this Kaffe crosses quilt last night. It is 47" square.
Yesterday I went to church sewing circle in the afternoon and delivered 12 travel pillow size pillowcases for one of our service projects. On the way home I had a few stops and at one of them I found the limited edition Lindor truffles. You have to really read the package because they have a blue package they carry year round but it is a different variety, not nearly as good. I also discovered this peppermint bark on milk chocolate last year on sale after Christmas. It was priced the same as last year's sale price so I had to get some of it too. I know it freezes well since I tested that last year.
You have certainly been busy working on your goals! I admire your ambition and you do deserve a treat! Thanks for the tip on the Lindor truffles. I am going to look for them in our stores. I love the truffles.
love that quilt. I didn't think about freezing that candy! Now I will have to pick up some next time I am out. You sure sold a lot of those tops - good way to cut down on the ones that need to be quilted.
Love the border fabric on the quilt! You have a real knack of picking out border fabrics that I know I would never think to use. Thanks for the heads up on the chocolate. I love mint and chocolate!
You make a big dent in your completed quilt top collection. Beautiful, colorful cross quilt. Love KF fabrics : ) Can't imagine having candy around long enough to freeze. haha
I've always loved your crosses quilt! Mine is still hanging on my design board. Now that I see how gorgeous yours looks, I might be tempted to finish mine. Chocolate in the freezer? I don't think that would work at my house.
Those Lindor truffles are a favourite - I'll have to keep an eye out for them. The chocolate bark looks pretty good too but I don't think that we can get Ghiradelli chocolate here. Oh well, guess I'll just have to settle for truffles...:). You are making great progress - it's amazing what you can do when you have a goal, isn't it?
I like how your crosses quilt finished, and I also think you've accomplished an amazing amount in a short time! And, oh, how I wish you hadn't told me, because now I know I'm going to be looking for that Lindt. LOVE their truffles! Like I need any help. LOL

I love the border that you put on that quilt. It's satisfying to be making progress anyway. I can't have chocolate in the house, even the freezer!

ReplyDeleteI just bought some Kaffe fabric to make a barn raising quilt. I am excited to dig into it sometime in the next month.
