I've decided to structure my goals for Q4 a little differently. I've broken things into 3 categories: general quilts and gifts, kids quilts for Project Linus, and mini quilts for my A Mini A Month personal challenge. I don't have pictures of everything, but I've got pictures of most.
General Quilts & Gifts
1. Verona's Quilt
This will be a twin-size quilt for my niece. I asked my brother and sister-in-law if I could make the quilt for when V is ready for a big-girl bed.
2. Car trash bag for Mom
When my mom was here, she saw the trash bags in my car and in A's car, and she said she wanted one for Christmas. I asked for fabric suggestions, she said she wanted covered wagons, of course! She gave me absolutely yards of this a while ago and I've been slowly using it up. (You can even see some in Verona's quilt, above!)
3. Sewing Machine Cover
I'm going to use batik scraps and a tutorial by the Crafty Gemini
4. Business Card Holder
Another tutorial by the Crafty Gemini. I hope to do this one before going to a work conference next week.
5. Tim & Nichole's baby quilt
My cousin and his wife are expecting, and I finaly picked out a pattern! This will be I Spy, of course.
6. Scrap Dance
I've been doing the mystery quilt hosted by Carole at From My Carolina Home. The big reveal was mid-September, so I'm finally assembled and I just need to finish it!
7. Car carrier for Munchkin
My kid is crazy about trucks, and he just got a small fleet of matchbox-style cars from his Abuela for his birthday. I'm planning on making him some sort of carrier and/or play mat for Christmas. I've seen a variety of patterns, included those recapped here.
A Mini A Month
8. Batik Hexies
I have a plan for a batik hexie mini, and I plan to take this to my work conference next week. I figure if people can knit during conference sessions, I should be able to do a little EPP.
9. Vintage Holiday
I want to have some hand projects to work on, and this felt embroidery project that I found in a magazine looks like a scene out of my childhood.
10. Singing in the Rain
I just made a mini of this fantastic Tartan Kiwi pattern for someone else, and I want one of my own!
11. Trip Around the World (kit)
I was given this kit ages ago!
12. Alaska Cutout Quilt
I bought this pattern on my honeymoon to Alaska and have been working on it for about a year. It is very slow going, as I started by hand quilting. I'm considering switching to machine stitching. We'll see.
13. Puffin (kit)
Another Alaska honeymoon purchase.
14. Dandelion (embroidery)
I already said I wanted to have some hand projects prepped to work on, and one will be an embroidery project, though it will likely end up in a quilt once it's done. I plan to adapt this pattern from a magazine.
Kids Quilts for Project Linus
15. Dinosaur
I found this great fabric in the craft bin at my (now former) library. I plan to do some machine blanket stitch now that I have a machine that can do that!
16. Circus
This was a fabric donated to my local Project Linus chapter, and the other ladies decided that I needed it. I plan to pair it with some circus-themed I Spy squares.
17. Jelly Roll Race: Moon & Stars
My friend Snow recently gave me a big bag of 2 1/2 inch strip scraps, and I sorted them into 2 Jelly Roll Race quilts. This is the first one.
18. Jelly Roll Race: Purple Sparkly
And this is the second.
19. Pink & Gray Strips
I am really into strips right now, and I just hosted an I Spy swap for 2 1/2 inch strips. I plan to take all the pink & gray strips and use a pattern from the Fat Quarter Shop's online tutorials.
20. Blue & White Strips
I'm pulling the blue and white strips from the aforementioned strip swap for this Blueberry Hill pattern--the name is a fantastic coincidence!
21. Lexington
I came across a great sale and bought this mini jelly roll that will be perfect for a pattern I got from a local quilt shop hop over the summer.
22. Green, white, & brown mini jelly roll
Did I mention that I'm into strips right now? Another great mini jelly roll deal, and I plan to use an online tutorial I recently found.
23. Girly with Pink Butterflies
This pink butterfly & flowers fabric was another donation to the local Project Linus chapter. I've pulled some of my more girly I Spy squares to pair with it
24. Snow's blocks
My friend Snow started a BOM and is now bored with it, so her finished blocks (but unfinished project) has been passed on to me.
25. Wizards & Stars
My mom gave me this wizard fabric, and I bought some batik fabrics with stars to go with it.
I have no illusions that I will finish all of this, but I never know what I am going to be in the mood to work on, so I like to cast a wide net of project possibilities. Thanks, Finish Along, for being such great motivation!
You have a lot of lovely goals and fabrics Emily.
