Ohhh its that time of the month - where you pick your One Monthly Goal!!!
I got mine done last month... yay me - let's try for a streak!! Two months!!
So - this is actually one that I had really tucked away... I started in in 2005 - when my Grandma started getting really sick. She had a little dog - a Bichon Frise that she just adored. And so I went on line and searched for some dog fabrics - and I found a place ( that I can NOT remember now) that custom printed this Dog Fabric.
*Update * the fabric came from Hot Diggity Dog!!
So I ordered it, and before it arrived my brother called and said - hey - we need to get moving - so we drove to Grandma and Grandpa's. We stayed with her a few days then had to get back to our kids - so I started Stitching ......
and before I could finish the Quilt we were summoned back... I ended up staying at Grandmas for about a month .... and just tucked this little quilt back into the corner... until! I did a little searching for my projects for 2021.....
I apparently have quite a few blocks cut with 3 logs on them, and the logs are cut - and!! I have a paper that tells me ( sorta) what my plans were! and Some extra fabrics..... I think this now justifies any fabric purchase I make - if its more that what I think I need... its really for later when I pull it out again haha!!
Everytime I say I don't have any UFO's I find something... so I am kinda afraid to say this might be my oldest UFO - cuz I feel like something else will pop up... and I will be wrong... again.... of which I will NEVER admit to Bwahh ha ha!!
This is My February One Monthly Goal - and will be Linking up at Elm Street Quilts
my goal is to at least get this to a top stage, but my ultimate goal is to have it quilted as well by the end of the month... I won't hold my breath for bound.....
Linking to:
DEsign Wall Monday at Small Quilts and Doll quilts
Monday Making at Love Laugh Quilt
Sweet project - good luck with your OMG!
ReplyDeleteBest of luck with your OMG, Alycia. That fabric is going to make a darling quilt!
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how we tuck those projects away and then find them so much later. Good thing we don't do that with chocolate or money! (Those are never lost for long here!) Our first dog was a Bichon named Quincy. He was the best dog ever, so seeing your fabric brings back many loving memories. I just know you'll get this project done in February! Bichon power!
ReplyDeleteOmigosh, what a unique and wonderful log cabin concept. I love Bichons - they always seem so happy.
ReplyDeleteI actually HAVE this fabric too... and didn't know what to do with it. I have had (currently have one) bichons for about 20 years. I can't wait to see your finished product.
ReplyDeleteWhat cute fabric! So nice to be able to order exactly what you need. Now to get those blocks put together! So happy that the fabrics are yellow!
ReplyDeleteA great project to bring to life and to spark some lovely memories!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet memory working on this will be.
ReplyDeleteAwwww...how cute. I'm looking forward to a finish!
ReplyDeleteI have never met a Bichon but I was acquainted with a breeder when I lived in San Diego. She had pictures and pictures of them. Sweet little marshmallow puffs. And those button eyes and noses. Now, someone will say, "they are feisty little critters". I don't know.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you ordered the fabric from Spoonflower? It will be a sweet remembrance of your grandmother, so Valentine's day.
What a lovely tribute to your grandmother. The little dog is so perfect, my neighbor has one just like it! Good luck on getting your top done, I'll look forward to seeing it at the end of the month.
ReplyDeleteOh, that's so cute. I'm glad you've dug it out to finish in a tribute to your grandmother. Best of luck on getting where you want to go. It isn't as if you have another dozen things going on. LOL
ReplyDeleteThat is such cute dog fabric, it will be a fantastic quilt! Thanks for remembering the website, I might have to order for a special project.
ReplyDeleteVery sweet doggy fabric. My oldest UFO dates from 2005, so you aren't the only one with a UFO or two from the time period. What a fun project to work on as your OMG. Good luck.
