Bingo Update

Just checking in with a Bingo card update! I don't have a bingo YET, but I have completed over half of the experiences I'm hoping to achieve this calendar year.

Here's what I've accomplished so far....

• Gift handmade – Made Pop-Open Pouch for Felicity @felicityquilts on January 4

• Take a class or workshop – Improv for Everyone workshop with Maria Shell @mariashellquilts on January 3

• Make a new-to-me pattern – Made Treasure Pouch pattern by Larisa @stitchingnotes on January 19

• Finished the 2025 BOM – Finished Calendar Cascade BOM quilt on January 27

• Take a photo with one of my quilts and share – Selfie with Calendar Cascade on February 2

• Try a new skill or technique - Used decorative stitches on my Janome on February 23

• Hand-quilt a project - hand-quilted Pillars on February 26

• Participate in a sew-in or retreat - Went on Basket Case Quilters retreat March 19-23

• Make a scrap quilt - Finished Strings on March 18

• Participate in a multi-day creative challenge - IGQuiltFest March 1-31

• Add a new tutorial to the blog – Posted Making a Pieced Quilt Back on April 8

• Organize my fabric stash - Sorted and neatened every cubby on April 8

• Donate a charity quilt – Donated Strings + Full Circle (pieced and quilted by Cordelia @notmadebyrobots then I bound it) to Seattle MQG Giving Committee on April 8

• Donate to the guild free table - Donated fabric, pattern with templates, stencils, and Christmas scraps at meeting on April 8

So it feels pretty good to have accomplished all of those goals already. There are a couple more goals I'll be actively working on over the next several weeks - Enter a quilt show or exhibit and Finish the Dropcloth Floral Series. So I'll be back (in a few months?) with another update - unless I get a Bingo!!
