The 2014 A to Z April Challenge is designed to challenge bloggers to post Monday through Saturday during the month of April resulting in 26 A to Z blog posts. If you keep up. It helps in the preplanning to have a theme to tie your posts together and then to prewrite as much as you can beforehand. Since this is a blog about quilting, my theme is A to Z Quilt Designs. (You didn’t guess that?)
Originally I was going to participate in the A to Z April Challenge only on my family history blog, but then I wondered if I could do the same on this blog to challenge myself to do more posts. (I haven’t posted much here lately because I haven’t been quilting. Yes, for months. Seven months. It’s a tragedy.) I decided to put the EQ7 designs I’m always playing around with to good use.
I pulled 26 female names from my list of grandmothers, aunts and female cousins and matched them up to EQ7 designs—old and new—and plan to post a quilt design a day. (Okay, I had to pull a few names out of thin air because there were no X and Z names…)
The first design will be posted on the 1st of April. Enjoy!
See more details about what I am going to attempt in April in the A to Z Challenge page tab above.
You knew the moon was going to demand its place in the sun, right?
And you knew I’d have to link to the song, right?
I got a little excited last week about the sun and moon blocks after I basted the applique shapes down and decided to start appliqueing them even though it wasn’t on the to-do list. I did resist adding it to the list then just so I could cross it off. I have some self-control…
The sun demanded its moment to shine.
But I couldn’t resist using that post title without linking to the song… for your listening pleasure.
