100 Day Hustle Round-up

Phew! 100 days since I wrote my list? Are you serious? Where did the time go???

I guess its time to assess and see how I got on with my list.

• Make a 12 inch block for Leonie in return for the beauty that she sent me- DONE!

(Sorry if you're sick of seeing photos of this butterfly!) Not only is the block completed, but the pattern is available to all who are interested.

• Make stock for two markets in November - DONE!

Thankfully I already had a fair amount of stock, but both markets went off beautifully and there was no lack of stock.

• Try out some EPP and make something really really cool - DONE!

I loved my first experience of English Paper Piecing and am already planning my next project.

• Turn the first Kiwi Block into a cushion - DONE!

Not only is this done, but the pattern is now available for free on my blog.

• Finish the Tilda Quilt - DONE!

The next three projects were looking as if they weren't going to be done, but a late pre-Christmas boost meant that all three were finished in time for Christmas and I have two very happy children to show for it.

• Make some Summer pyjamas for both of my children- DONE!

I haven't blogged about these yet, but the kids each found a pair of pyjamas under the tree on Christmas Eve.

I was going to use some cute and girlie fabric for Rascal but then I remembered that when my Lucy's Crab Shack fabric arrived her initial reaction was to ask "What are you going to make for me with it?" The girl's got good taste, so why contaminate it with cutesy pink?

Don't look too closely at Rascal's pyjama shorts though- the print on the shorts is upside down (oops!)

• Make some Shorts for Scallywag- DONE!

He loves them and won't wear anything else these days!- I may have to make him some more...

• Make a new dress for Rascal- DONE!

Rascal's new favourite dress. She loves that it twirls and she loves the little red riding hoods.

• Make some oven gloves for us- DONE and in daily use!

• Test the paper pieced patterns that I have designed (2 so far)- SORT OF!

When this goal was written, I was thinking of the pukeko block that I gave you a sneak peak of and the butterfly block. I haven't touched the Pukeko, but I have done some other blocks, so lets say it counts as a partial success.

• Finish creating blocks for the sampler quilt and turn this into a quilt top.- FAIL!

Still about eight blocks to go until I have enough to make this top! I will have to get back to this project as its been on the backburners for far too long. I really am looking forward to seeing it complete.

• Find the perfect backing fabric for the Sunshine quilt and turn it into a finished quilt.

 Complete fail- hasn't been touched for months- I MUST get moving on this again!!! I'm stuck with indecision as to what fabric to use for the backing. I don't even have the right fabrics to piece a back so I'm going to just have to get over myself, choose something and get on with it! There is no official deadline for this quilt, but I really do have to get it finished at least before my birthday in April!

Well that was it! I must admit that I'm a bit gobsmacked by just how much from my list I managed to achieve. All that now remains is to thank Kelsey for hosting.

Now its time to plan some fun new projects for 2013- I can't wait!
