Friday check in: wrapping up April and goals for May

 

Tra la! It's May!
The lusty month of May!
That lovely month when ev'ryone goes
Blissfully astray.  

 I did say, "Rabbit, rabbit!" first thing today but I also remember listening to Julie Andrews sing  The Lusty Month of May on our Broadway cast LP* of Camelot.   

(*LP -- yet another archaic term from the 1960's.)

April was  productive in terms of quilting.   My April OMG was to make the Trip Around the World quilt.

 I made six quilts from Villa Rosa Designs patterns for the VRD Six Quilts in Six Weeks challenge.  

I finished the guild mystery and made an I Spy quilt for Baby D, due in July (shower at the end of May).

Barb-the-quilter quilted these for me.  I made the red/green earlier this year and the homepsun Aunt Vina in 2024.  

The stash report.  Fabric IN, April:  5-3/4 yards, $27.32.  Fabric OUT, April: 60-1/2 yards.

Fabric IN, YTD:  6-1/2 yards. $37.32. Average: $5.24/yard. Fabric OUT, YTD:  259-1/4 yards.  Net DECREASE: 252-3/4.  

I feel very virtuous. 

My goal for May is to make at least two placemats for the 2027 Rotary project.  I have a batch underway.
