I couldn't have said it better. This December of making no quilty gifts has been an eye opener & I don't plan to get caught up in the rush rush ever again.

Birthdays, mother's day, new babies... I want a year where I am quilting to improve and vary my skills. Where I have Time to fiddle and experiment without the pressure of hurry hurry hurry.
I'm really really looking forward to it! After christmas, I will re-organize my quilting corner and work on diminishing my scraps via string quilting. Then! Who Knows what Glorious creations await! I'm excited! |
My first project is to get my studio clean and re-organized. Then I have two baby quilts "owed" to a couple of friends. After that I want to make a king-sized pieced duvet cover; no quilting, though, at least not yet. I may someday quilt it so it's a quilt by itself, but I'm not wanting to take that on right now.
I have several other projects in mind, but these three are next in line. |
UFO's
|
I am going to make a green, black & white quilt for my granddaughter's birthday which is in May - Starting in Jan. should give me enough time. Not sure which pattern I will use though, have a few picked out that I think would look good in those colors.
|
I have a quilt I started in November and one that needs to be quilted. When they are done I am going to have the entire year to work on an over sized queen for my bed.

New quilt for our kitchen- there is a new line of fabric coming in Feb from Northcott that will be perfect. No idea of what pattern I will be using...
Learning EQ7 OBW- can't wait to try this! Work on paper piecing skills- finally got the basics down and love the precision- that may be a good combo with the kitchen wall hanging A quilted jacket A few UFOs but not really too much, just odds and ends. |
I've put my sewing gear away to regain the use of my dining room, but as soon as the holidays are over i'll be back sewing. a baby boy quilt 1st then I'll dive into all the charms and fabric that santa is bringing
|
I'll be on to a Twist and Turn Bargello Quilt. 5 UFO's to finish as well (3 table toppers, blue jean quilt & 1 made from scraps from the Night & Day quilt).
