January 2018 – OMG

I’m still keeping it simple, but hoping on making progress.  So my OMG is to bind and label the Choo Choo Quilt.  I have the binding cut and the label printed.  I will be attaching the binding by machine since this quilt if for a cutie 1-year old, so hoping that this will progress quickly.

The Mary-Thon had two Corrals – one was January – June and the 2nd one was July – December.  Each had a few extra weeks to allow for missing a week or two.  The Half Mary-Thon required a commitment of at least 30 minutes a day for 3 days each week, while the Full Mary-Thon was 5 days a week.  I chose to begin with 3 days a week, but often did more.

One Monthly Goal Finished – December 2017

Posted on December 30, 2017 by Quiltmouse

For December my OMG (One Monthly Goal) was to complete the Standard & Travel-size pillowcases to match the Choo Choo Quilt.  Bonus points (to me) will be if I could get the binding added & label made.
