As I stated here, for my April ALYofF goals I actually had two goals. First, I wanted to complete my first QAL. I enjoyed creating this finish as I successfully turning these:
into this, my My Whimsical Flower Garden Quilt: (read more about this quilt here)
Secondly, I also wanted to begin an animal/nature quilt with my Second Graders. Please stop by here and check out the fun we had. You'll also find a tutorial there that I created for any of you interested in creating a quilt like this with kids.
I'd like to thank:
Shanna of Fiber of All Sorts
and
Melissa of Sew BitterSweet Designs
I find myself really motivated by the ALYofF challenge this year. I can't believe we are at the April and May begins this week....is anyone else feeling like that?? Stop by & check out everyone's April finishes & thanks a bunch for stopping by to see mine. Oh! And tomorrow's Tuesday Archives themes are: Boys and BOM (WIP and/or finishes). I'm looking forward to to seeing what posts you find in your archives this week.
With smiles!
