Here's my April photo.
Here's my Tis the Season wall hanging although at this stage I have planned it as a rail hanging. My house has quite a few railings - going around the central staircase and between some of the rooms. So I attached the tape so that I can hang it on the rail for Christmas.
The fabric is Adoring from Moda, and is the same fabric I used for my Tis the Season quilt. I was hoping that there would be enough to do the patchwork bag but even though I have quite a bit of yardage I don't really have enough variety to do the hexagons. Anyway I still have a month or two to think about that.
Now onto May.

April done, now for May
Just checking in with my finished April project. I still need to put some kind of hanger on the back, and I'm unsure if I'll do any quilting on it, or leave it as is-we will see. Now to go and look at May's project!
Thanks

APRIL - Done!
As a poet said, Cristmas is when a man want! So, here we are in April, waiting for Spring to arrive... it´s a little bit late, you know....and our task for this month is a little wall hanging for Christmas!
This is mine, done since last March, but was waiting for a little sunshine to have it Catching the Sun!

Better Picture and April's Project
I posted a very blurry picture of my pincushion last week, but thought I'd put up a better one since we've got some sun today.
I've also decided to use the stitcheries I started for the quilt from TTS some...years ago that have been languishing in the WIP/UFO pile for the April project-I just have a little bit to finish on the third one.
Hopefully, I get an earlier finish for this month's project, as well as moving something out of that pile!

I have made a start on April's commitment. It may only be by finishing one of the stitcheries... but as I said... it's a start...
