I'm a total newbie, but I'm starting on a carpenter's star.
I'm also eyeing the 3 dudes quilt as in the tutorial on man sewing. Also a zentangle quilt http://zanyquilter.blogspot.ca/p/zen...-tutorial.html |
DWR - WIP.... slowly, keep finding a 'quick' something getting in the way :-)
Broken Star - Texas Star variation, also a WIP... who knows why I started with 1 1/2" diamonds???? Mariner's Compass GFG - Finish an inherited piece started by my great grandmother..... must be a 1000 hexies drawn but not all cut out New York Beauty those are my current top 5... subject to change at any moment |
Already have my shelf stacked with quilts to make next year........if I ever get the ones I made this year quilted. Anyway, a wedding ring, storm at sea, Jacquiline de Jonge "Joy" (waiting for 1 more fabric), french braid to name a few.

My ultimate would be a Paula Nedalstern type art quilt
Mariners Compass A hand pieced quilt |
There are so many quilts I'd like to make but will probably never live long enough to make them. For sure, though, I plan to make the following:
OBW (still looking for just the right fabric for this one) Storm at Sea Bargello Eldon's quilt and Candy Necklace (designs by Edyta Sitar) Hunter's Star Pineapple (paper-pieced) blocks Easy Street and Orca Bay (designs by Bonnie Hunter) Gosh, and so many others I can't think of right now. |
Labyrinth
Tumbling blocks A black and white star quilt (not sure pattern name) Jigsaw puzzle Applique birds (forget the name--Birds of a Feather, maybe?) An art quilt (when I find the perfect inspiration) Little girl dresses on a clothesline That's just the list off the top of my head! |

I would love to make a bookshelf quilt...maybe one day !!!

I have two totes of dedicated scraps to do the Texas quilt-a-long (I know, I'm about a year behind) and a blue and "white" Shakespeare in the Park. I have a doll's cradle set and a flannel turtle for the grandkids before I can start those. I decided to add some hand appliqued flowers to some negative space on a scrappy that would be done if I hadn't taken a creative detour. That should get me through to next Christmas.

I don't have a bucket list like some of the lady's here. I think I would call mine a skill list. I sew on a vintage Kenmore 15813540 8 stitch sewing machine. I want to get better a free motion quilting. I want to learn to cut blocks with rulers better (so every roll matches up). I made 5 baby quilts this year that I did some applique work on. I liked doing applique and quilts turned out really good.I made four king size quilts. Those King size quilts were a pain to machine sew but turned out looking good. I made 3 queen size quilts. On one of the queen size quilt, I seen some of my blocks needed to match up a little better. I finish all the quilts I start. But like I said, I want to work on improving my sewing skills.
