I wnat to do one of a dog sled team...and I have a picture of my grandaughter crawling on the beach that I am hoping to tackle.
I am sticking to picture quilting...piecing is definitely not for me...I have a bargello lap quilt sitting on my sewing table right now getting quilted...it doesn't lie flat, is going to have some wrinkles, and doesn't look like a bargello either...no more piecing for me:>

My resolution...Hmmm. I have 6 quilts in progress...some more than others. I would really like to finish at least two of them in 2011 plus start one for GD who is a freshman now. Figure if I start it now, I may have it finished in 3 more years. It is my own pattern/idea so is a challenge. If I can keep watch of this post by year's end '11, I will let you know how I did. :-)

My mom started one for me before she passed, I want to finish it along with other UFO's.

What patterns have you been wanting to try, and are willing to make a resolution that you WILL do in the year 2011?


Ok, it is funny you ask, the bargello is one I really want to do. I did the ocean wave this year. Met my goal.
Now Bargello, Purse Pattern from Buggy barn, for my one granddaughter.
and on and on...

I have soo many quilt tops stashed away..2011 I want to step up and start quilting and finishing them

I just got the fabric to do a French Braid. Have had the pattern for a long time but not the nerve. Will jump in after Holidays.

I'd like to finish all my ufo's!

In 2011 I want to get an embroidery machine. I also have quite a few projects already started that I want to finish. Would love to try a bargello, a log cabin and any new techniques I can learn would be fun. I am game to try most anything.......just don't care for the hand work stuff. lol

Once I have finished my sisters quilt which is all applique and will be hand quilted (still have 6 blocks to go!!) I am definitely, definitely going to do a Mariners Compass even if its just one block to use as a wall hanging!!! Of course I still have my Dresden Plate (just started) and Farmers Wife and ........ to complete!!!!

Oooo....good luck with the Mariner's Compass...those are really cool when they turn out like they should. I'm not that brave just now, lol. It's almost like an inside-out dresden plate. How exciting!
