A List

Greetings!  It's been a while since a "quilty" post and it will probably be a bit longer.  I haven't had the time nor the energy to sew anything.  Probably due to the fact that I'm not sure what to work on first.  So, let's make a list!  I love lists.

This is what I would like to complete in 2011.  It's going to be a very short list because I like obtainable goals.  LOL!

- a Bliss disppearing 9 patch for my bed

- finish Amelia's Magoo. The one Mary made for her granddaughter got me thinking about Amelia's.  It's so close to being finished that I just need to do it.  Maybe I'll search for it and pull it out of hiding so that I can't ignore it anymore.

- A spring wall hanging for my living room.  Since I made one for christmas and the hardware is now on the wall, I might as well make something that will take me through Spring and possibly Summer.  I'm thinking either stash busting some string blocks or doing an extra large Maverick star.  I've always wanted to make a Maverick star.  Here's my chance, I guess.

- couch pillows made out of "Pure"

- couch pillows made out of "Make Life"

- Christmas stockings for my husband and myself

- work on my pinwheel blocks

- finish my Jelly Roll Sampler quilt top

- work on my BOMs. I am SO behind with this one.

That's it.  That's what I want to work on and FINISH in 2011.  We'll see how well I do.  LOL!

AND
Don't forget about the upcoming "Be Mine" blog tour happening next week!  Every blog on the tour is going to have a project for you to see and there will be some giveaways (I plan on having one!) and the Fat Quarter Shop is doing a giveaway too!  So come on back on the 9th to check out the start of the Be Mine blog tour!  Here's the list of the participating blogs:

I've been M.I.A.

Hello there.  I hope all is well with everyone.  I haven't posted anything in almost a week.  I haven't had much going on in the sewing/quilting world, really.  I went back to cutting and prepping fabric for a quilt top that I started months ago but again, I have put it aside for other things.  Cutting is B.O.R.I.N.G. 

I started a pinwheel tablerunner for my cousin for her 40th birthday.  I'm making it out of Blush.  I have one pinwheel made.  I had big plans to sew some yesterday but Amelia and I had a very late night out on Saturday.  She and I didn't get home until almost 1 a.m. on Sunday morning so we were both tired and just plain lazy yesterday.  I walked into my sewing room yesterday about 4 times and each time walked out.  I just couldn't concentrate.

What I do have is a new "To Do" list for the rest of the year.  I'm sure you don't want to hear about it but I'm going to list things here so I don't forget.

• blogiversary/birthday giveaway items
• work on Amelia's Halloween costume
• embroidered wall hanging for me
• pinwheel tablerunner
• finish cutting fabric for B/W/G quilt top
• Dandy Bag for Abby
• Basket for Katrina (order fabric)
• throw pillows for Amelia's bed
• cut Yellow Brick Road kit for Amelia
• make a Nifty Notes for me (Carol has made several and they are too cute.  I have the pattern, just haven't use it yet)

Sorry for the most boring blog post but I felt I should post something.  Hopefully by the end of the week, I'll have something with pictures to show you.

Enjoy your day!
Jen
