An honor... my March goals and the winners

Before I go to my March goals I have to share something so special it leaves me speechless and that has amazed everyone in my family... "Me Speechless". Ever since Kelly has announced to me she was going to start her I have been so excited. I know everyone who has connected with Kelly will agree she does lovely work. To want to share that talent with others is an amazing gift. A gift that keeps on giving. But the gift of receiving a quilt named in your honor is absolutely the ultimate gift for a quilter.

That is what my friend Kelly has done! She has named this quilt.....

Acadienne (even spelled in french and it is even made in the Acadian colors.) in my honor and I cannot begin to tell you the emotions that overwhelmed me when I saw it for the first time! No words will ever express my gratitude!( I was just so darn happy just to know and be friends with a quilt Designer...that was an honor in itself!)

Thank you Kelly soooo much! The most precious honor is to have come to know you and call you "Mon Amie"! Good luck in your enterprise. I have no doubt you will be successful!

Now my March goals...........I hope to finish my "Stone Cottage". I have indicated before on another post I do one block a day so by my calculations I should have the top all done by the end of March! I am making this quilt in "In The Pink Two" By Buggy Barn.
Next I will do my BOM

in the Kansas Winter....

Now this will be the ultimate challenge for March! Quite a while ago I decided I had too many fabric remnants on my hands; but how does anyone throw away fabric, no matter how small the pieces are? So I found this pattern.....

A quilt sampler by Lori Smith....That will surely take care of a lot of fabric pieces....

I got about half way with this quilt and made the decision to put the blocks away (not to be forgotten) so I just brought them out this month. I am going to put them together and do a few projects .. Not sure what, yet !

Next I am going to machine quilt these projects.....Miss Émilie's quilt, a table runner, a table topper and a wall hanging! I am on vacation and Hubby is going away to watch the 2010 Brier (Curling) in Halifax, so the sewing machine and I will have an inseparable relationship for a few days!

Next I am going to bind my ....

Heritage Square, hand quilted by Agnes.........
I will probably do my binding as I Skype with Kelly..
