I've got a fairly long list. I always list more than I can finish because I never know what I'll be in the mood to work on.
General Projects and Gifts
My dad, a big tea drinker, has used the same tea cozy for my entire life. It's pretty shabby. He asked me to make him a new one. I've got the embroidery done, now I just need to create the cozy.
2. Devin's baby quilt
My good friend Devin had his second child last year. I'm making an I Spy quilt to match big sister's. This is finished except for the last of the binding--I'm waiting for baby's name for the label that will get sewn into the binding.
3. Extra for Miren
The baby from #2 also has a big sister. I'm still waiting to hear from her parents what Miren, age 3, is particularly fond of, so this one is undefined so far. It will likely be either a pillowcase or a small pillow.
4. Giselle's Baby Quilt
I have a coworker expecting a baby boy this spring. I'm mostly done with this one, I just need baby boy to arrive so I can add name and birthdate to a label and sew it into the binding.
5. Island Batik May Project
Here's a sneak peak of some of the improv from my May Island Batik project. I know, improv, me? But it will be glorious!
6. Island Batik June Project
The theme for June is "Try a Technique." I've got several ideas and fabric pulls for all of them, I just need to choose and get started.
July's project will feature Aurifil thread. Check out the beauties that I will be working with:
Mini Quilts & Pillows
Pillow Menagerie
I am slowly making us a menagerie of animal throw pillows four our couch, as I got rid of the big cushions that came with the couch because they were so big it was annoying. The following are pillows I have patterns and fabric for, and I've spent time getting the pattern pieces enlarged and color coded.
8. Lion--pattern is from the zoo animals collection by Kristy @ Quiet Play
9. Giraffe--pattern is from the zoo animals collection by Kristy @ Quiet Play
This was my hand-sewing project on trips in 2017 & 2018 and I finished the embroidery! Now I just need to turn it into a finished project. I'm super close to having this one done!
Project Linus
11. Dog Gone Cute
I made a Dog Gone Cute block for one of the women in a quilting bee, and I liked the block so much I made a second for me. I am slowly making my way through all of Lorna's amazing dog blocks.
12. Snowmen
I liked the Snowman block by Sherry of Powered by Quilting so much that I'm doing a whole quilt of snowmen! I've made 5 blocks and I want to make 4 more and then have fun with different embellishments.
13. Postage Plus Leaders & Enders
I've been using 2 1/2" squares as leaders and enders and will put them together using the Postage Plus pattern from the book by Cheryl & Paige.
14. Patriotic Stars, part 2
These were my bee blocks from April 2018. Most of them were turned into a door decoration, but I still have a few blocks left to turn into a donation quilt.
15. Blue Forest Animals
This was a fabric donated to my Project Linus chapter that I really liked. I have the blue print cut into 10" squares, plus 2 other fabrics and a plan.
16. Elizabeth
This is a fat quarter quilt that is mostly cut and partially sewn.
17. Penguins
When I was Queen Bee in Stash Bee this January, I asked for penguin blocks. I'm so excited to create this Waddle of Penguins!
18 & 19. Sailboats
In Bee Inspired, I asked for simple and fun sailboat blocks for a charity quilt. I received enough to make two quilts. Ahoy, Matey!
20. Hidden Stars
I've been doing the QAL hosted by Sherry of Powered by Quilting from her Hidden Stars pattern. I have most of my sub-units pieced and think it will go quickly once I get the blocks assembled.
So there's my crazy long list! I know I won't get all of these done, and I'm okay with that.
You have a very ambitious list but hey we have to have goals!! Cheering you on;)
