Progress Q2 and Proposed List of Finishes Q3

Four (!) finishes in Q2 2019 from my Finish Along List for Q2.

Finished

Wallet “Grete” No. 2

This was my first finish: A long overdue wallet for my colleague. You can read more about it in this post.

Gemstone Tumbler

And a very colorful baby quilt as the second finish. This project was almost on time :) All the details and many more pictures of this color goodness are in this post.

Plussquared

And here is a finish for myself. The second quilt I am keeping. Here is the link to the post.

Greyscale – Meadowland No. 2

I am adding quilts to my own pile! As always the details in the post.

And then I had two small in between finishes | And see what also happened :)

Hamburg Pouches

No individual blog post – but I mentioned them in my Monthly Check-In for May and they are on Instagram.

Fish Drawstring Bag

No individual blog post – “only” posted on Instagram.

QuiltCon 2020

QuiltCon 2020 – Austin, TX here I come.¹ My adrenaline was pumping as I registered for classes as quickly as my fingers would type on the keyboard!² Here’s my happy dance for being able to register for all the classes I wanted this morning!³

Build out of three quotes: This would have been the perfect caption

Did I finish as much as I had hoped for. Definitely not but that was to be expected. I always overestimate what I can get accomplished, especially when I count in vacation time :)

But I am on a good track and very happy about it. See for yourself:

Will keep you up to date :)

My Goal for 2019 is to get my WIP list down to 3-6 projects.

I am still not managing two finishes a month but I am getting the number down! This quarter I finished four and added “only” two. So far from originally 15 down to 12. Yeahh!

No. (1) Ocean Waves, (3) Whirly Girl are relatively close to a finish. And (10) the wallet is soooo long overdue. Also I think (11) the bag will be a not too complicated project. So I am hoping for lots of finishes in Q3. With three in Q1 and four Q2 it should be five now, right?

Best wishes
