I have a folder loaded with favorites on my desk top but doubt if I will do them!

I'm no different than most of you, more ideas than time! First, I want to finish my Santa quilt that's on the design board now. It's the Santa panel in the middle & I'm surrounding it with a bargello & an outer border reserved just for the quilting. I have a couple of UFO's to complete, one of which is a DWR. Then I have 2 other UFO's that will be show quilts. Both original designs. One's a Lone Star & the other is a version of a Baltimore Album. I want to enter them in shows later in 2013 or 2014. I'm getting more proficient with my LA, so I want to design & make a wholecloth quilt. There are many, many ideas I have that will keep me busy probably the rest of my life! Happy quilting to all of us in 2013!

I have a lot of quilt patterns with the fabric in large ziploc bag. I am thinking of just closing my eyes and picking out one. Another option is to do 2 UFOs and 1 new a month. At lot of this depends on my 92 year old mother in assisted living as to how much help she needs.

If I emptied my bucket list, it would mean a thousand quilts - all different, so I will never get through them all. I would definitely like to make a french braid quilt, Surf Song bargello by Eileen Wright, a Mariner's Compass and a bunch of Judy Niemeyer patterns. That's one of the reasons I love this board - I can achieve some of my goals by living vicariously thorugh everyone else. lol

1. Finish Craftsy BOM blocks and put together.
2. Pick out pattern for the family reunion quilt in July - but have to give my niece the quilt at least 2 -3 months before that so she can long-arm it for me. Love that part.
3. Make quilt for DGD's bed.

There are too many other projects for my bucket list to even begin to count them. For the rest of this year and all through next year I hope to start clearing up my UFO's.

The first one on my list is Bright Nights Bargello, by Becky Botello. I have all of the fabric, 24 different colors. It might do me in as I have never made a bargello. Also something by Judy Neimeyer. I am hoping to start my NYB with the group on here this week. I want to make a Baltimore Album but I don't really applique. And I need to finish my Dear Jane. (will probably take 10 years). My list is endless and keeps getting longer. I just finished Carol Doaks 50 Fabulous paper pieced stars which I wanted to do for years. Thanks to Pokerdiva who ran a group on here.

Wow..it will be hard to limit it to just three.

1. A New York Beauty
2. A quilt with baskets
3. A Baltimore applique quilt

I went crazy last year and did three stores BOM. Think I will attack them first, then all the shop hop quilts I didn't start.
After that pineapple and chicken Buggy Barn fabrics are all waiting. Then several from magazines. Gosh, I may never have computer time again.

I need more projects like I need a hole in my head. I need to figure out the machine quilting and finish off the 11+ tops I have!! Can we say "UFO's?? and not the flying kind!!

log cabin, english paper pieced, mariners compass.
