Once You Catch Your Breath After Christmas ... What's Your Next Project?
#82
Well I don't anticipate I'll be starting anything new, I am in the midst of several WIPS. Before the end of the month I still have to do my final row for our round robin row quilt...and my homework for my year long colour class, and my homework for the Border Creek Mystery quilt so I have plenty to do when I don't even consider the several quilt tops I have on the go.
Sign ups for the winter session of quilt classes is January 7th and I've told myself I'm NOT signing up for anything...UNLESS I can get a couple of my quilt tops finished.

I have a big list for this next year. I got the computer/Robot for my long arm for christmas and I plan to get alot of use out of it. I am starting a new Hoffman BOM in March, I have a Judy Niemeyer quilt (Raindrops) to do, I have an applique quilt (Mexican Rose) it looks like Mexican Tiles, to do for my mother and a Sports quilt to do for my son. I hope to get some quilts stocked up for gifts for next Christmas so that I'm not stressing about getting them all finished on time next year.
Merry Christmas to all.
Merry Christmas to all.

I went last year and it was a great show I was inspired and made many more quilts this year but not show quilts. Gave two bed quilts, three cuddle nap quilts and a wall hanging of Mt Diablo as gifts for Christmas. Enjoy yourself.

I found some kitchen towels that my mother started hand embroidery on, they have little animals on them. I've had them in my craft closet since she passed in 07, but I didn't know it till I went looking for something else and found them.I want to finish those. I got a new Ott magnifying light for my birthday in November and it really helps a lot to be able to see what I'm working on.

I purchased a couple of pre-cut bundles at Early Bird sales in November. I will sew a "pickety sticks" quilt from a batik bundle and a "turning twenty" quilt from a beautiful fat quarter bundle consisting small florals in pinks, aqua, yellow and green.
I have been pretty disciplined about completing projects I have purchased fabric for... I don't want to get ahead of myself and I don't have a lot of storage space for bundles of fabric.
Merry Christmas and Happy quilting in the New Year

I have a "rescue" quilt from a garage sale. Cost $5.00. It must have been a first attempt at quilting as it was being done by hand, without a frame or hoop., just pinned together. Stitches were from almost invisible dots to larger than toe catchers. The squares didn't match at corners, but that fabric in the top is of a good quality and well worth what I paid for it. It is a king size... I need a new full size so I have taken it apart and will redo it all and probably just tie the quilt instead of quilting. Have a pile of baby quilts for charity to quilt and that comes before quilting on the redo. For your quilt, get something that really shows off the crosses, not the quilt part. Hope that helps.

I'm determined not to start anything new but to continue to finish up UFO's. I've made really good progress this last 1/2 of the year. I have several tops (hmm, don't we all-LOL). I'm going to start finishing them and quilting one a month.
