OMG - 03 finished

Oops! I did it again :)

I have completed my March OMG goal on the very last day! Again!

I'm sorry but no daylight available. So just a crappy pics on my table.

The back is again the local print like the previous one I made.

OMG - 03

Here we go again. Time to set up a One Monthly Goal :) I'll be making cushion in March.

These nine hearts were my side project in February. I have completed the front side. So I need to quilt it and assemble. Sounds doable.

As a little side project I'll make something with the scraps from hearts. This is where I'm currently at.

OMG - 02 finished

As usual I completed my goal on the very last date with just a few spare hours left. February 29th which means extra day this year :)

The size of the cushion is 16".

The back side is simple. Just a hidden zipper. The newspaper print is a local fabric which have no name and I'll run out of it soon.

The quilting is simple too. Just a few straight lines.

I completed it just before the sun went down. As side project I had 9 small heart blocks which will end up as cushion No.2 and probably as my March goal.

OMG - 02

OMG, it's already February 7th and there are only few hours left to link up our goal - one monthly goal. I'll go with this heart block which I would like to turn into cushion.

As a side project I'll be working on more hearts. You know, February :) I tested this small heart block and I want to make 9 of them and turn them also into cushion. If I don't suceed it might be my March goal. We'll see.

Q1 - cushion 5X

Here we go! My first finish from Q1 FAL list.

I got this idea when I was making the list back in January.

It doesn't have perfectly matching zipper but it is hidden anyway :) I'm breaking up my own rules.

See. The back is just plain and simple.

The whole design is pretty simple. It is a gift for male for 50th birthday so I was not aiming for anything girly and fancy. Each cross represents 10 years. 50 = 5 crosses. Plus the cushion is 50x50cm. The binding finished the cover pretty nicely.

1 goal down, 4 to go .. I'll be linking up with:

Q1 FAL list

Let's make a list! Q1 FAL list. I'm taking different approach this year. Have you noticed? :)
I'll stop putting on my wishful list and actually concentrate on projects I want to give or use. Plus there is not enough space on that board :)

1. softies - well that is ongoing project. I almost made it but still need to fill up and finish.

2. bag redo - you could also see that one last year. The plan is turn it into fanny pack. I need to put my phone and keys somewhere when I don't have pockets available.

3. cushions - that is my OMG goal for January. Still untouched.

4. pouches - not much progress on this pile either

5. cushion 5x - that is my latest idea. Make a Bday cushion for someone who turns 50 soon with 5 X on it. We'll see.

That's it. Sorry for bad light but daylight is something I don't get too much lately and I only have few hours left to link up my list. Yeah, nothing like a deadline pressure!

OMG - 01

Hello New Year! Don't you love new beginnings? I do :) I would give myself many NY resolutions if only I knew I'll going to keep them. I know I can keep them for a week or two, maybe a month but I can not go on the whole year that would actually mean I have to change myself, my behaviour, habits and I do not want to go that far. I rather stay negligent and I'll let things go and flow.

Of course I want to be better :) to myself, to others, to blog more, to do things that makes me happy more often. Everyone wants to do that and I guess that is natural.

I'll start the year with OMG goal just because I love the name of this linky. I try to link and finish at least 6 OMG projects this year! That's a neat resolution isn't it?

For January I picked up cushion making. Two cushions to be precise. I have this pretty fabric and I know exactly to whom am I going to give them. Nothing fancy, just plain pretty cushions. I need to buy appropriate zippers because zipper must match. That's rule No.1 right!

Q1 - pig cushion

Pig cushion is finished. Time to check another project of my FAL list. 3/6 is my current score.

I wasn't sure how to quilt it so anyhow was the way to go :)

When I plan to use cover as gift I like to bind the edges inside. No threads sticking out anywhere.

The only disadvantage of such binding is the corners are not perfect as there is a little bulk inside.

I'm fine with that though. The back is plain and simple.
