ALYOF End of month Post


January is almost gone! What?! 
So it was Myra's Queen Month in our Birthday Bandy Group and I decided I would make a Wall Hanger Organizer from Patchwork Please!


I chose to make it in Myra's favorite colors and I am pretty happy with it! I do hope she will love it and use it a lot!

I purchased the Ebook at the beginning of January and I am sad to say the Customer Service at Interweave has not been helpful at all. It is impossible to download the templates from a mobile device. Call it Iphone or Ipad. Considering I bought it because I read on the move, and I print on the move, I found this situation pretty frustrating. I contacted several people and have only gotten One Reply. And that was, to log on a desktop and print from there. So, whah's the point in having this ebook on my Kindle? No answer to that I'm afraid.

Anyway, back to more pleasent matters. My goal for this month was number 96 in the Goal Setting Post here

Mini Quilt Swap:: El primero del año

Este block me encantó para probar. Se llama Migration block. Hay un tutorial gratuito que podés encontrar aquí.

This was a perfect To Try Block. It's called Migration Block and there's a free tutorial that you can find here.

La consigna era bien clara, Blanco, Negro y el color que eligiera tu compañera. La mía eligió Rojo. Y me puse manos a la obra. Es la primera vez que hago algo con unas reglas tan fijas y debo confesar que, si bien al principio tuve mis dudas, cuando vi el Mini Quilt acabado me costó despedirme de él. 

The rule was very clear. Black, White and a Pop colour chose by my partner. She chose Red. And I dove right into making it. It's the first time I work with such specific parameters and I must confess, that even if at the beginning I had my doubts about it, in the end it was hard to let it go.

Lo acolché con hilo de brodar de tres filamentos, a mano. Y el bies también esta cosido a mano.

I hanquilted it with a three count embroidery thread and handbinded it too. 

Esta de camino a California y espero que a Jan le guste.

It's on its way to California and I hope Jan likes it.

Ha sido un placer hacerlo. 
It's been a real pleasure.

Nos vemos!
See you soon!

As usual, Thank You Melissa and Shana!

And the accomplished goals are


January: Pillows for mum
February: Doll Quilt Swap
September: Flickr
October: Flickr
November: Flickr

I hope to see you soon!
Mariana
