One Monthly Goal May Goal Setting Link-up

Welcome to May!  We had 102 goals linked up for April - lets see what this month brings!  (Did you see the overall announcement for the sponsors and featured designers for 2019?  It will blow you away!)

New to One Monthly Goal?  Welcome!  To join, share a photo of your project, some words about what you want to accomplish in a blog post, an Instagram post (tutorial) or a post on Flickr and add that photo to the link-up.  Return at the end of the month and share your results.  You can read about the event and the rules on the main event page.

We have wonderful sponsors this month - three (3) winners will be randomly chosen from those that link up in both the goal and the finish event.

I'm excited to introduce Angie from Gnome Angel as our featured designer for May!  Angie is a quilt designer, author and an amazing QAL hostess.  She shares her passion for being creative and her goal is to inspire people to follow their dream.  Angie's book Fussy Cutter's Club: A Boot Camp for Mastering Fabric Play is a beautiful guide on how to cut up your fabric with intention!

Angie has run countless quilt-alongs and 100 day challenges which have brought quilters from around the world together as they shared their blocks.  For the #100Days100Blocks2019 event, Angie has designed Kinship: 100 Block Fusion Sampler.  Kinship is a blend of 8″ x 8″ and 4″ x 8″ patchwork blocks that borrow from the traditional and reflect the contemporary and is perfect for the beginner looking to solidify their skill set, or the confident sewist who’s looking for a new take of scale and design.  

The Kinship pattern comes in 3 different techniques each offering the quilter a different method of block construction: traditionally pieced (by machine or hand), foundation paper pieced (FPP) or English paper pieced (EPP).  The #100Days100Blocks2019 event starts on Monday, July 1 with the posting of block 1 and finishes on Tuesday, October 8. (Follow #100Days100Blocks2019 for a daily countdown and sneak peak of all the blocks.

Angie is offering one lucky winner (from the US or Australia) a fabulous prize - Kinship: 100 Block Fusion Sampler Pattern, a Marti Michell Perfect Patchwork 6.5” Fussy Cut Ruler and a Marti Michell Perfect Patchwork 8.5” Squaring Up + 8” Fussy Cut Ruler.   

You can visit Angie from Gnome Angel on her blog, on Instagram, on Facebook, and in her shop.

My goal for May is to quilt my Converse shoe quilt - so fun to make in all these colors!

Now it is your turn to link up - what is your goal for this month?  (A goal could be to finish a quilt but it could also be to attach a binding.  Whatever it takes to help you move forward and make progress on your projects!  And as long as the project involves making something with a needle and/or fabric, you can link up!)
