Winter Stitching

I've decided to hold myself accountable this winter and I like the idea that FairyFace Designs had about making a list and linking it up so I can try and keep a more organized list of what I want to do..


Here goes nothing..

1. Modern Christmas Table Runner Swap 

2. Elf Wall Hanging - top done, waiting to be quilted and bound

3. SewHappyGeek Wall Hanging/Table Runner Swap




4. Ruby, Pearl and Opal Quilt (have all my supplies just waiting to find some time!)

5. Swoon Quilt (3 down, 6 to go)

6. Houndstooth Quilt

7. Finish quilt design

8. Christmas Surprise Quilt (in the process of piecing)

9. Crochet cowl scarf

10. Sewing machine cover

11. Wall hanging (design i've been wanting to make foreverrrr)

12. Baprons (babies due before Christmas plus some extras to have on hand)

13. Participate in 2-3 more swaps (maybe host my own??)

14. Write some tutorials!

15. LEARN HOW TO FMQ! (Should probably follow along with Cindy's)

16. Finish my 2 P.I.F. projects

Alright, that should hold me over for a while - only 3 actual quilts on the list
the rest are things to motivate me and get me to try new things.. all attainable though!

Wish me luck!
What are your plans this winter??

Busy week(end) ahead of me, hoping to find some quality time with my sewing machine because I have a ton to complete before Christmas!!!

W.I.P. Wednesday #8

Wednesday's are rolling around way too fast..
Lately there's been a whole lotta "cutting things up" and not much "sewing them back together!" haha

Works in Progress -
1. Christmas Table Runner - Design determined. Stalking Done. Pieces starting to get cut.

I'm cutting up some "Figgy Pudding" that i've had in my stash

Just a better look at some of the fabric.. 
pattern picked out, we'll see how the rest of this week pans out for some piecing!

2. SewHappy Geek - Wall Hanging/Table Runner Swap - ZILCH done.

3. Surprise Quilt - SLLOWWWWLLYYYY starting to assemble. I was able to print on fabric this weekend (a total first) that went well until my printer decided to eat my fabric it was tired and didn't want to print anymore.

4. Which Witch - So, since I'm not a lover of Halloween I started the elf one instead :)
Not appliquéd yet, but pieces are cut!!
Hopefully appliqué this weekend, need to get some red thread..

Finished Projects
1. Scrappy Swap - 


I made this pouch for my partner and I'm still tweaking what scraps to send out, but this one is just about done!

New Projects:
1. I started working on something this week but I'm not quite sure how it'll turn out, I'll show you pictures once I'm finished with it.. I'm thinking of maybe selling them for the holidays, but I'm not really sure as that wasn't the purpose of starting this blog and I'm not totally sure thats the route I want it to take.. we'll see - stay posted and I'll let you all be the deciders!

On Hold-
1. Spanish Tiles
2. Swoon

Works in Progress - 6
Completed Projects - 1
New Projects - 1

Total Projects - 7
