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!
- Make stock for two markets in November - DONE!
- Try out some EPP and make something really really cool - DONE!
- Turn the first Kiwi Block into a cushion - DONE!
- 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 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!
- Make a new dress for Rascal- DONE!
- 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!
- Finish creating blocks for the sampler quilt and turn this into a quilt top.- FAIL!
- Find the perfect backing fabric for the Sunshine quilt and turn it into a finished quilt.
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!
Excellent list of Achievements! I'm sure the quilts will be done when it's their time! :)
ReplyDeleteWell done! You managed a stack of projects in that time! Loving your paper pieced patterns too!
ReplyDeleteI'm absolutely in love with your sampler quilt and your tilda quilt love love love
ReplyDeleteand yeah for completing lists !! !!
Wow, that's a LOT of great stuff done in so little time! Never mind the so-called fails. I second Leonie, they will be done when they want/need to be done. :)
ReplyDeleteWow! You really go a lot done! Love the PJs and the butterflies!
ReplyDeleteThat butterfly block is incredible! Nice work on your list! :)
ReplyDeleteYou definitely got a lot done. I just love the butterfly and kiwi blocks. I really should learn to paper piece...
ReplyDeleteSuch a great idea. And I am so in love with those PJs, I want to make some me-size! Well done you.
ReplyDeleteOh. My. Goodness. BUSY LADY!!! Where do you find the time! I really need to get some time management tips from both yourself and Deb! I really don't know how you all do it! Love all of the pieces, and dreaming of the day I wake up to find my self with an ounce of your talent!! But my natural ability with a sewing machine in nul!

Beautiful things as always :)
ReplyDeletekiwi! :) they're all so pretty. good work!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat projects. I can't wait to see the sampler quilt finished.
ReplyDeleteWOw, overwelmed by all the paper piecing you've done. You put me to shame I have never finished my EPP small quilt I started many years ago, I tacked on edges and made it my son's baby quilt! Took it apart and started hand quilting it and then freaked when I couldn't decide how to finish it. Its become an heirloom with old dresses of mine in, Laura Ashley hexagon kit (when they made those) and so the list goes on. The best part is somewhere there's a photo of my grandmother looking at it 6 months before she passed away.
ReplyDeleteEverything is very lovely!
