Mouthy Stitches Mosaic

I joined my first swap of 2012

It's called Mouthy Stitches and it's being hosted by

Cindy, Susan and Hadley

I have been in swaps with all of these ladies before..

it's sure to be mouthy haha 

When I saw the people hosting, mixed with the swap 

(its a zipper pouch swap and FQ of scraps)

I figured this was perfect to start the year with.. 

Anyway.. I made my mosaic and thought i'd share

picture links back to flickr where the original links for pictures are

The swap is filling up, but if you're looking for an amazing group of talented ladies to swap with combined with a simple-ish swap that will ease you in.. I recommend signing up!

:)

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??

Oy, did it again..

I'm a total sucker (for quilting)

I decided, just now, that I would join... another swap!!

:)

Okay, so I make it sound like a big deal, and I may have promised myself not to get overloaded with the holidays coming up and personal quilting that needed to be done.. 

but i can't resist!!

The lovely Kat is hosting a Scrap Swap and is taking sign-ups until Sept. 30th.

It's a scrap swap with all of your combined scraps measuring approx. to a fat quarter, a small goodie and something that pertains to your area that you live.. it is international though, so if thats a deal breaker for anyone stop here..

BUT - if you find yourself like me and can't resist a good swap with such an amazing community of people.. JOIN!

It'll be over by October (plenty of time left for holiday quilting... at least thats what i'm telling myself!) haha

Sew Happy Geek is also organizing a swap that I couldn't help but join!

Something different and new as well - check her out if you have any interest in this type of swap - signups are closing soon!!

In other sewing news, I was actually productive last night but forgot to upload pictures, so that will wait till tomorrow.

Till next time!
