ALYoF April Finishes party....

My Lovely Year of Finishes April goal is finally a table runner...
no longer a UFO...
Cinnamon & Cocoa is a Bunny Hill Designs pattern from 2009.

I love how it turned out...now to finish the quilt that goes with it. 

It's called Rabbits Prefer Embroidery, also designed by Anne Sutton.

 I have the embroidery blocks finished...

probably finished them about 5 years ago...a red set of blocks

and a brown set that I forgot I had finished stitching.

The other goal for Aprils ALYoF was to get the blocks cut for one of two batik quilts that are on my 'to do' list...look...one top is finished. 

The pattern was in the February 2009 issue of American Patchwork & Quilting magazine.  

...hopefully I will have it quilted this week and I can stitch the binding when we go to Canada next Friday.

It's a finish...

...and just in time for Melissa and Shannon's ALYOF linky party.

Here is my May finish...it is a Many Trips Around the World.
You can find the free pattern here.
I decided on all pink fabrics and no borders.
...a peek at the back 

 and the front.
