Summer Sewing Plans 2011

  1. Finish the Sherbet Pips Confetti quilt, and not let it just sit there for fear that my quilting will ruin it.
  2. Finish my Scrappy quilt completely.
  3. Finish the Boutique quilt, even though I don't like it, then let the kids have it for the garden and not get moody when it gets dirty by keeping in mind that I don't like it!!
  4. Do something with the mass of batik that reminds me every time I look in my fabric box, that sometimes bad ideas happen to the best of us, (a long story)!
  5. Keep up to date and do my total best with all the Brit Bee blocks.
  6. Keep up to date and try not to cheat on the mystery quilt.
  7. Make, and maybe send, at least one of my 'Pay It Forward' gifts... but I'm not telling.
  8. Make my Dad the Union Jack quilt I have been promising my Mum I'll make for him.
  9. Make my Mum something equally lovely for her birthday.
  10. Make the covers for the final 2 cushions I have been procrastinating about for too long.
  11. Cut and hem the 2 pocket squares I promised my husband last year - he bought 2 FQs that I can have the remainder of, IF I get on with it.
  12. Make a tray for dear son that incorporates a tiny Lego scrap he covets.
  13. Make a 'little something' for the girls, so that all my time spent at the sewing machine is not totally for other people.
  14. Do a Swap - maybe not the first Brit Swap, as having looked at this list, I think perhaps I need to get a few other things ticked off first, but maybe in August?
  15. Start the 'KISS'.
  16. Not buy any more fabric UNLESS I actually have a need, accurate requirements and time to complete another project, (hmm...may be the hardest!).
  17. Try to expand my quilting skills by joining in with more sample blocks and experiments a la BLG and BlindBob.
  18. Master a few more embroidery stitches, especially French knots.
  19. Plan ahead for Christmas!
  20. Design and make, and then repeat something I am proud of - not sure what yet, but a real long-term aspiration.
