Happy New Year

I have lots of work & sewing related goals for this year & here are some of them.
Quilt tops that need to be completed as quilts:

Hannah's Quilt.
A disappearing 9 patch quilt

Stars Quilt.
Stars made from 5in charms & HST's

Pinwheels Quilt
Quilt I did as "Life Of A Quilt", following a quilt top in photos

Speedwell Quilt

Busy Lizzie Quilt
A Stack & Whack style quilt (quilt top is complete, but I haven't a photo yet)

Quilts I want to make:

Log Cabin from workshop
16 blocks already completed & need to be sewn together & further piecing required for borders

12 Day of Christmas quilt

for ME... it'll be all mine, must do it this year :)

Commission quilt - I think I've decided on the fabric & style for this commission, will advise on progress when it happens.

Bloggers BOM quilt - a continuation of the BOM that I started in the latter part of 2011

Craftsys BOM quilt - a new BOM that i've signed up to, will have to see how time goes as to how much, if any, of this is completed.

Winter quilt - Lovely winter panel fabric that my parents bought me in Virginia(?), already received additional fabric to piece what I have in mind.

New York Beauty quilt - this quilt will be worked on as part of my college course, hopefully some weekly progress will occur.

That's about it for now, I haven't yet started on craft fair makes, accuquilt, christmas or cross stitch

Happy Stitching :)

TUSAL & Happy New Year

Happy New Year

I know I'm about a week late but things have been hectic around here. The twins have been enjoying christmas everyday for a good two weeks & a couple of days ago one of them even asked if Father Christmas was bringing more toys. I think we have just about managed to fit everything in the house.

I've done no stitching for days if not weeks & it feels like I'm having withdrawal symptoms, luckily next week gets back to normal around here (finally). Twins club is back on, nursery is back on & it means I get my "work" days back... hooray!

Here is a picture of my little orts jar for the year 2010. The pictures were taken on the 4th Jan as that was the new moon & the day in which we post for the TUSAL (i'm late again!). I'm quite pleased it's full, means that I really did do some stitching last year... I must remember to keep a list of all my finishes this year (if any!). Now the jar will be emptied & the TUSAL will start all over again :-)


I have lots of things still to post about & hopefully over the next week or so I may get the time to share some with you. They include:

• Stitching goals for 2011
• More stitching stash
• New fabric storage
• Folksy.com

Happy stitching :-)
