My resolution is to make a second quilt for our bed - so I have one for fall/winter and one for spring/summer. Only difference will be fabric selections. Also resolve to start working on next year's Christmas gifts so they will be done and ready early. Also have dressmaking software to learn and start making clothes for me!

I signed up for a class in Feb-March to make a jacket from a sweat shirt. It's something I have wanted to do for a long time.
I also need to make gift quilts for a new baby (due in a few days) and a wedding (next June).

My goal is to finish as many of my UFO's as possible. And I have quite a few! Even though some are completed tops that just need to be quilted. In that case, I am hoping to have the $$$ to have one quilted every 2 or 3 months!

Trying to use up stash also. Get projects done that I have put off. This means using all the fabric that I purchased to do those projects. My want to do list is getting bigger.

If I tried to use up most of my stash before buying more, I wouldn't buy anything all year! I can't imagine resolving to do that -- I can barely make it through two weeks of rain without needing a "new fabric fix" (but swapping on this board helps!)
I have a "green queen" UFO to finish by October, the Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt to FINISH & not let it become a UFO, and resolve to use up at least 1/2 bushel of flannel scraps before doing any other sewing for my charity.

I plan to do hand applique and hand piecing in 2011. And perhaps do some hand quilting.

My quilting goal for the new year is to finish all my projects well before the last minute, and finally make something for myself! Oh, and no quilting on Christmas Eve anymore! (this year doesn't count)!
