2012 Goals - Updated: Jan 29th

Hi!! I have a long list of things that I would like to make. I tried to categorize all the projects as already started, gifts and want to make!!! I will make my "Goal List" once I get all these lists done!! Here are my lists:

The already started, just need to be finished list:

• Frosted Flakes - Top is done, need material for the back, to quilt it and bind it!

• DONE!!! Table cloth - just need to bind it!
  
  
• Checkered Past - red and white quilt

• Happy Go Lucky - a Crazy Mom Quilts quilt - I want to quilt this one like she did, with little circles. Just need to practice a little and then get to it!
  
  
• DONE!!! Light house by Sweetwater - top is done, just need to decide on backing!
  
  
• Christmas Tree (circles) wall-hanging
  
  
• How Lovely Are Thy Branches - wall hanging - paper piecing is going to kill me with this one!

Gift List:

• Cor's wedding quilt - The top is done and the back is about 75% done! Need a little more material to finish it off!!
  
  
• Stars Around the Garden - this one is going to take a lot of patients to finish!!

  

• Prairie Corner wall-hanging for Grandma Anne
• I am making my whole family Christmas stocking for next Christmas.

Haven't started but would like to make list:

• Intersection by Sweetwater
  
  
  
• Down home tote by Sweetwater
  
  
  
• Evening Empire Dress by Anna Maria
  
  
• Socialite Dress by Anna Maria
  
  
• Waste Knot - this is going to be my scrappy quilt of the year!! I did a practice block a while ago. It will be an easy quilt to make!
• Mosaic - I want to do this is bright colours and white
• I would like to make this Shirred/Stretchy Scarf.
  
  
• I would like to do something with Sweetwater's fabric line: Reunion!!
  
  
• I just saw this on Sweetwater's blog... I love the chair and the pillow with the circles!!! I am sure I could make that pillow and I would love to have a chair like that!

• I was going through the book marks on my computer and found this one too: Kaleidoscopic Kites
  
  
• I love this one too ... Wonky Star Mini quilt on Fresh Lemons. She used this tutorial (which I have tried before) on The Silly BooDilly Blog.
  

Sometime in the future list:

• Granny Squares - I think I could treat this as a quilt-a-long and complete one square a month!! This one will take a lot of work!! I do love it!
• Boxed in ... I just like this wall-hanging!

• Pieced Border Quilt - I do like this one and think we could make it in a weekend!! - I moved this one b/c I do like it and think it could be a future choice!! And because I added two more to the want to make list!!
  

How do you like all the backwards quilt patterns?!?!? I am going to start with the to finish and gifts list! I'm sure that I will add to the want to make list!!

Can't wait to see your list!

Cor's Wedding Quilt

Hey ...

I forgot to tell you ... I have the top almost done. I need to put on a couple of borders to finish up the top. What do you think we should put on the back? I was thinking of a black or navy and adding in some of the left over material. What do you think?

Checking the "TO-DO" List!!!

I haven't up-dated my to-do list since May of 2011!! Let's see what I have accomplished!!

1. DONE - Kristy's T-Shirt quilt
2. DONE and is on my bed!!!Brown/Blue/Green/Red - Brick Road
   
3. Cirlce one that I started last summer. I can't find material for the back of this quilt. I have the top done just need to find a back. Still searching for material to back this one with!!!
   
4. Happy Go Lucky - This is the one from Crazy Mom Quilts Blog - I loved hers so I made my own version. This one is ready to be quilted!! I have bright material to go on the back of it!!! I want to quilt this one using circles, like she did, just not brave enough to do it yet!!!
   
5. DONE!!! I use this one on the couch!!! Strip Maze
   
6. DONE!!! - I gave this away as a wedding gift!!! It was hard to part with it b/c I loved it once I got it finished. Bento Box
   
7. DONE!!! Flower pillow
   
8. Wall hanging for Grandma L - She really liked this wall hanging so I told her to buy the pattern and I would make it for her. She picked it up at our quilt show and got it from the Quilt Patch too. At this same time my Mom bought a welcome sign. I got to make that too. She said that is was a good deal for her ... she buys the pattern, I make it! - I need to get on this asap!!!
9. DONE!!! Triangle ruler - I have used this one three times now!! The quilts are endless with it!!
   

This list isn't that impressive. I have done so much more than is on the list.

• 3 skirts for my nieces
• a quilt for Jack
• a quilt for Richard
• Finished the top of the quilt along Mom/Dad got me for Christmas when I was in Taiwan. Just need to get it quilted.
• Finished the top and back of the quilt for our bed. I am going to call about getting it quilted sometime this week.
• 2 sprocket pillows
• Christmas tree wall-hanging shower gift.
• quilt art wall-hanging
• Sweet water quilt - striped one - need to quilt this one too

Looks like my to-do list will include a lot of quilting!!! There might be more but that's all I can remember.

I'm off to the sewing room to make my new to-do list!!!

New year- new goals

Howdy,
So a new year makes me feel like I have a new chance to get stuff done but of course I need to figure out what I want to do. So I propose we each make a list of what we would like to do this year and then see what we actually get done. I'm going to take a day of so to figure it out and then I'll post. You do the same. Maybe I'll actually finish up some stuff?
Also I haven't seen pictures of the quilt you actually managed to give away yet.
