I made a 'book' of my quilting projects, what stage they were in, what was needed to finish them, etc. When I got to page 83 (each page is a different project) I decided 2014 was the year I was going to finish up some of those projects and get myself under control! Wish me luck!

Mine are the same as last year. Only 2: Use only stash fabric unless I need something to finish a quilt and finish UFOs.

I am determined to finish my younger son's quilt that I started in 2012...it's a tumbling block in batiks. I also have begun to cut fabric for my oldest son's but only into FQ pieces which Ned further cutting... If I could get these two queens done in 2014, I'd be a happy camper.

Finish at least one UFO.

1) Clean out my sewing/craft room to make room for quilting.
2) Learn how to use my serger.
3) Learn how to free motion quilt.
4) Complete some kits for myself.
5) Get a jump start on gifts for next Christmas.

I resolve to set aside 1 day per week including all through tax season for sewing or cutting kits.

I resolve to just work on whatever appeals to me at the time and enjoy it.

My resolutions are all of the above. I have tried to finish some UFO's, but didn't succeed. I have so many plans, and not enough action. I have a lot of tops to sandwich and many in various stages of construction. I rent time on a long arm, but I want to use my dam to quilt them. I think my plans are too big and I am setting myself up for failure. I need encouragement.

In 2014, I want to use up some of the fabric that is already in my house. I also would like to finish projects that I have already started and not start a new project unless I finish something. I plan on not buying any more fabric unless it is a piece to go with a project that is in progress.

I want to stick with what i have started. I have read that so many have 4-5 projects going, that would drive me nuts. So to prevent this, i will stick with what i have started. Yes i do have a "wish list", but it is for me and my collection of quilts im making for someday family to enjoy and remember me by. To be able to continue learning the world of quilting. I have other projects to make such as candle making also and come spring =gardening etc., so i will try to stay organized and continue to learn different techniques to make my quilting world a better place to be.

I got this info from another QB person. Other than your stash, you do need to buy fusible Pellon fleece. I can get more out of the yardage than they suggest because of a little pre-planning on cutting it. I just watch for sales. Then you mail the finished bags back. They will send you the pattern and material for one bag to begin with along with an extra emblem if you want to do another one. I had 15 emblems sent to me a few weeks ago.

My church group makes baby through adult quilts for Salvation Army from donated supplies. Sometimes rural fire departments want quilts to hand out to people. I also finish baby tops that are donated to various social agencies and/or hospitals. So just ask around.


I hope this gives you some ideas.

This is perfect for me!

I want to machine quilt like Linda Taylor!

To stop making small quilts for everyone & get back to just the quilts I want to make for my children (6) & Grandchildren (8.5) the .5 is due any day. And try to stop complaining about my bad back post 6 surgeries :( That's going to be hard. Oh and keep on saving for a good quilting machine, my dream machine Janome 6600 or at least 6500.

To do more piecing of tops and try to finish the ones I started, oh yeah, and not to work as much!

That was my resolution until I got a gift card for Amazon and in my wish list were a number of quilt books!

Finish the quilt I'm working on, then the one I'm buying fabric for. After that I still have a lot of learning to do and would also like to do at least 1 charity quilt.

To complete the projects for family gifts I've committed to make them, to use quilting as a way to help me lose the weight I know will make me healthier ( my struggle is evening snacking- when I'm sewing I'm not as tempted to do this- Dr says get rid of 30 lb to avoid the Diabetes lurking in my gene pool...), to practice, practice to improve my FMQ skills, and at least watch and listen to the Craftsy classes I have to learn from even if I'm not doing the projects they're covering at the time. :-)

My resolution is to "JUST SAY NO" to other than family that wants some kind of sewing or machine embroidery done. I have UFO's and many quilt kits put together and four children awaiting their first quilt (so am I). Been quilting for many years; have accumulated way too much fabric I couldn't live without, and still don't own a quilt for myself. 2014 garden season will have less canning to do also!!!

It's still 2013. You can keep your resolution for 2014 if you shop now!!! Quick!! Head over to Amazon and start shopping :p

love that one too :)

finish ufo's and wip. that should take me an entire year. only buy fabric that is needed to finish those said projects. tougher than hell that one is.. majorly tough. but was just gifted with about 10 yrds of fabric I dont care for and now think oh crud even more fabric that I need to use up. so no shopping I think for a while.

What an ambitious list!!! My goals for 2014 include these:
Make each grandchild a Xmas themed quilt.
Make each child a quilt for Xmas.
One granddaughter is graduating in June......needs a great memory quilt.
Reorganize my shelving, as we dramatically downsized.....my hubby is building as we speak.
Most important.....use my stash before going out and buying.......
Whew!!!!!!
