I like to start in January after the tree is down and the boxes of decorations are put away. That is perfect sewing time because it is so cold here for Jan-April that I don't go out much at all. So I sew.....if I am not done by April or May they get put away until October when it starts getting cooler again.......I don't quilt in the summer unless it is an emergency gift.....not many of those...
|
I don't like to quilt under pressure, so let's start our gifts in January.

I have already started oin next year. I also have my first class Jan 15. It is for some gift ideas Cant wait to get started
|
How about right after Christmas? Then we can enjoy the rest of the year without worrying about Christmas. Except ---- we will still need to do some projects when the Christmas 2011 fabric comes out.

I really think some people love to "complain" oh I have to finish "x" amount by tomorrow. No you wouldn't if you'd have started earlier. Please don't get mad at me!! Like I said, I'm really anal and have to have things done in plenty of time. I'm also really slow quilting so it takes me longer than a day.
Peace & joy everyone!! that plan flew right out the window. So I had all the shopping to do right after thanksgiving. I did finish all 5 memory quilts tho. Made the fudge and cookies on Dec. 23rd. We always have our company over on Christmas Eve, and that leaves Christmas Day for us only. So I can now collapse!! |
I plan I plan, but then that gremlin named mess up her plans gets in the way,so I end up further further behind..Sigh .. One day I will catch that gremlin and I will be able to do all that I write on my calendar and get it done !! LOL
|
Let me know how you caught the gremlin, if you ever do!
|
I am going to start in Jan.. This became too stressful at the end.
|
Yea I say that all the time but the thoughts don't seem to turn into action.

I still have plans to make coasters, mug rugs, placemats, etc. Do I have them made yet? NO......
Oh...She did recently get a package of Fat Quarters but I had it sent directly from the internet site! I'm sooo bad! Nor have I finished the Christmas Quilts I was going to give, and somehow, don't see that happening this Christmas! |
I make that vow every year. So far it hasn't worked out too well. LOL!
|
Please remind me again in July
|
Great idea. I will be retiring in June, so I'll be able to start in July on my gifts. That's the plan anyway.
|
I needed to start on Christmas for next Christmas and that didn't happen sooooooo. Guess I'll be stressing again.
