April Makes

April was a fairly good month on the sewing front - lots and lots of bee blocks saw me caught up (finally), and I managed to finish a quilt and two cushions. Well, the Architextures one was technically a March finish, but I couldn't show you until yesterday, so let's say it's an April finish?



1. Reflected Textures Pillow, 2. winged square, 3. Bronwyn's block #2, 4. Nicky's April blocks, 5. Boat block, 6. Bronwyn's Block #1, 7. Charlotte's block #2, 8. Charlotte's block #1, 9. Sashiko cushion, 10. Mario full11. Not available12. Not available

 A lot of my April sewing time has been devoted to piecing together and starting quilting my Retro Flowers - so although it's still a work in progress, it's getting closer to the finish line :o) I'm really hoping it will be done in time for the Blogger's Quilt Festival this month! It's also going to be my May goal in A Lovely Year of Finishes (and it's on my FAL list, so triple whammy!)

    Love that pillow and the bee blocks were worth being caught up. They're looking fab. The quilting on the Retro Flowers is looking good. Fingers crossed all goes according to plan. :) Here's to May!
