2018 Finish-A-Long - Q1 My List

1/15/2018

6 Comments

 
You know how you have the best intentions for a week and then things go awry, well that is my last week and why I'm posting my list for the first quarter on the last day to link up!  And yes, still time to link up and you can find that post HERE.  Worked out great for me that this year the Finish-A-Long has longer link-up dates, giving us all more time to participate.

Since the first of the year I've been thinking about my list and debating on what to include this first quarter, it's hard sometimes.  I know a lot of you include your entire list, but my list is crazy person (which I am) long (think 35-40 ongoing projects) and I like to narrow it down to a small list each quarter that I think I can actually finish or at least work on.  Sometimes I struggle to make the list because I'm not sure what I want to work on or how much time I really will have to sew.  This quarter hopefully will be the end to our year long house addition (FINGERS CROSSED!) Once the addition is done, I'll have a small sewing space which will involve a lot of moving and organizing to make the space work the best and most efficiently for me. I'm wanting to take my time and do this right so the rest of the year can just be spent sewing and enjoying this new addition.  So you can see my dilemma this quarter as I'm not sure I'll even have a chance to really sew.  I'll make a list anyway with high hopes of finishing at least  a few things, so here we go.

1.  Bee Sewcial Flowers Quilt - I'm not sure if this one will turn into a finished quilt but I would love to at least get started and do some embroidery on the blocks and at least start hatching out a good solid plan for these wonderful blocks.

2.  Ladies Waterfall Raglan - Carried over from last year, I want to make at least one top for myself in this pattern.  Now to find what I did with the printed out pattern...

3.  City Sampler Quilt - Carried over from EVERY SINGLE QUARTER last year I will finish this quilt this year!  Now that our addition is almost done our bed will need a nice finished quilt on it and since this one was made with that intention, then it's time to get it done and put it to use.  I just have to quilt the background as each of the "blocks" are already quilted.

4.  Bee Sewcial Triangle Quilt - The top is together and I'm just working on the back, would love to get quilting on this one.
5.  Bonnie & Camille Scrappy Log Cabin Quilt - This one is another for our bed, so it will be queen sized.  Right now it is just blocks, but I know how I want to lay them out and I have all the supplies.

6.  Once Upon A Time Cross Stitch - Not sure this one has ever been on my list, it's been a WIP for about 4 years now, I've been stitching on and off, but this last year I really committed and worked on it a little almost every single day.  My goal was to be finished by the time our addition was done and I'm really close to meeting that goal.  So I'll be plugging away on this one to be able to hang it on my daughter's wall when her room is done.

There it is, my list of 6 projects.  I'll be thrilled to finish 2-3 of them, so wish me luck.  I wanted to say a quick Thank-you to all of you playing along this year, it really means a lot to me have you join us for the first quarter of the year and hope that you will join us for the entire year once you see how great it is to finish up those WIPs!

Oh yes - a wonderful list!! Though I love several of them, fingers crossed for the City Sampler so you can see and use it on your bed every day. You're SO close!

I have that cross stitch in progress, too! I have a hard time finding time to cross stitch and then actually pressing pause on it to work on quilting. I need to figure out a better way to manage my time. lol

You have a list of many lovely projects. The flower blocks on the blackish background will be gorgeous with added embroidery. That is a great idea!

I too only included what I think I will achieve first quarter. Realistic goals are a must for me. Good luck!

I love your Bee Social blocks. Maybe it is that they are solids and I like the boldness of them, maybe just because they are gorgeous :) Good luck getting some of these done!
