April Goals and Winners of Giveaway!

 Time to share my UFOs for April. The first UFO is a block I won when Volume 2 of Quiltmaker's 100 blocks magazine was published. This block was actually made by Me and My Sister Designs. This block has been waiting for me to figure out what to do with it. Now I know. I am going to make a mini spring quilt to hang on my wire hanger. I have some ideas for it but you will have to wait to see it finished. I am linking this one up to Sew Bitter Sweet Designs.
 My second UFO is the last pillow cover for my DIL. I can't show you the design but it involves wool, embroidery, and applique. The reason I can't show the design just yet is because it is part of the "It's for the Birds" blog hop in May.
 Number 3 UFO is to get all these blocks appliqued.
 Number 4 UFO is to make the frame for this BOM and the one I will get in the mail sometime soon.
And last but not least try to get the last side of my daughter's quilt hand quilted. I better hurry before it starts getting to hot to have that quilt in my lap. :0)

So now for the winners of last month's Nothing But UFOs giveaway.
Teresa of Mama T Keeps You In Stitches is the winner of the giveaway for those in states.

Astrid of Grandma's Red Needle is the winner of the giveaway KaHolly made for someone in a foreign country. Thanks again KaHolly.  Astrid lives in a place called Mauritius. I have never heard of the place but it looks like a fascinating island.

Congratulations Ladies! Keep up the good work!

Now it is time to link up your April UFOs! List three and finish at least one to win a giveaway which I will show tomorrow. 

With Passion,
Carrie P.

Your BOM's are coming along. I love the snowmen blocks and especially love the Kathy Schmitz blocks. The little touch of color in them charms me :-)
Happy April!

I like your projects. It's nice they are small...gets them done faster! I just finished a few small quilts and it was fun to have them finished quickly! A new passion for me I think, but now I am ready to do something a bit larger...

That is so awesome that you have a block from Barb and Mary! They are so talented. I can't wait to see what you do with it and the rest of your goals!
