I have a list started--in my head, but nothing actually started yet~

I recently found the Fandom in Stitches site, with tons of cool paper pieced patterns for harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and all the various fandoms that are popular. My ODD is obsessed with a few fandoms, so I plan to learn to paper piece and make her a twin size quilt with blocks for all her interests.

My 2014 Christmas quilts are at the long arm pro as we speak. I do this deliberately so it does not stress out me , and the person that does my quilting is in the slower season. I started in December of 2013 on next years gifts.

Yes I have my Grandsons Queen size done. I have 2 more Queen size quilts to make for 2 Granddaughters. Then I'll do the small stuff.

I'm doing the Wishes BOM on fatquartershop.com so I think that might be someone's gift this year. And the quilt my daughter wants is actually a rendition of the churn dash I made for my husband that I called Ugly Quilt (I think hers will be more fun to work on). But I still haven't come up with a pattern for my mom yet ... and I have half a dozen UFO's I'm thinking about trying to finish to make some quilts for gifts.

I really like the idea of working on gifts a year in advance. Maybe I should get moving on 2015!! ;-)


ETA: I'm thinking about making my mom's quilt with 30s repro fabrics ... just haven't figured out the pattern.

I start the week before Christmas for the following year. got two twin sized quilts done so far, hanging in my closet waiting to be wrapped. will make towel set for the bathrooms, kitchen sets with potholders. ornaments for everyone, small gifts for my husbands boss lady. small gifts for all my friends, and stuff for charity also.
Also, this year, am making 3 cousins pillows for all the holidays, just did St. Pats crazy quilted pillows, ready to mail. and also the pincushion of the month for the swaps. oops, can't forget birthdays. open for suggestions all the time.

I have a set of four placemats made and a few small items.

I have - and I'm so excited about it. I made the Eleanor Burns log cabin wreath, with the intent of gifting it to my daughter, but I love it so much I'm keeping it for my self. I will make her another one. I have a son and a daughter, 2 grandkids, 3 brothers (1 sis in law), 3 sisters (2 Bro in laws), 2 sisters in law on my husbands side, 9 nieces, 5 nephews and 12 great nieces and nephews - my goal is that they ALL get something I've made for Christmas in 2014. Yikes, I'd better get cutting an sewing.

Blurb said something about being a member? Are you? How does one be, other than playing Dice game as mentioned or can I just download. I thought I would like to offer it at guild meeting..( I am co-librarian), and of course make one for show n tell!
