Anyone got quilt plans for 2014?

[Sandy Navas]

Don't make my brain hurt too much . . . I have a very long list of UFO's that I wish I had time to finish before 2014.
* Quilt three tops that are sandwiched - Al's RW&B, the 3Dudes Christmas Hidden Wells, and the Animal Print Swap top
* Finish Aunt Hannah's Sun Bonnet Sue - after deciding what I'm going to do with the mess - think I've narrowed it down in my brain
* Get that 3 color top cut and finished - I bought fabric on a shop hop 2 years ago - green FQs in my album
* Make my oldest DGD a new quilt
* Pull out those two HUGE matched FQ stacks and make 2 KS tops
* Use up those Bali Pops
* Start a scrappy patch

***STITCH***

No joke - the only definite plan I have for 2014 is to make sure the UFO IQ is done!
Many friends are having grandkids this year so baby quilts are probably in my future.

My sewing room better be clean by the end of this year.

Next year,
I want to actually take the time to watch the Craftsy classes that I have already paid for.
Take a class at a LQS
Finish at least three of my UFO's.
Get better at FMQ (the Crafty classes should help with this)

Hmmmmmm.... Good question!

I, too, have UFO 's to finish.... That goes without saying....
I have a toddler Falling Charms to get up on the design wall.
A friend has a died for a quilt....using Ellie Ann.
I really want yo get started with the little Bereavement quilts.
I have a Halloween layer cake to use for a grandson.... It will be a Double Sliced... I think.
I want to do a layer cake DNP. I have a pretty black and white layer cake to work with... Will probably use red cornerstones.

There are it her ideas floating around in my head.... Who knows what will actually get done.....

Oh... If I can afford it, I want to take a class in FMQ...

Gson#3- wants a "green" quilt.. color green that is- still purchasing the greens for it

GD - finish her quilt.. Light into Dark ufo.

And finish any charity obligations that didn't get done in 2013.

inventory my stash.... and decide on my next project/ quilt - I am loving the reds!!

Maybe a class at my LQS.

Who knows what else may step in and take over...

I made a list last year thinking I will make a quilt for every season/holiday. Only thing I got done on that list was a christmas quilt I just finished and literally hated every stitch I did in it! Turned out okay, but for some reason I just hated the whole experience. Never happened before and it was weird. But it is nice and keeps me cuddly while watching TV.

Then I recently thought, why bother? I am in Southern California...I don't need a quilt in the hot months...May - October! Why make quilts for those seasons/holidays?? 2012 I made quilts for every grand child. So next year, I have to..
1. Finish the Bargello I made for my daughter. Done, just have to put a label on it and do the binding.
2. Finish the civil war theme quilt I made for my son. I have the top done, and got the back and batting..just have to get it done.
3. A quilt as a wedding gift for a first cousin once removed in April
4. Finish a quilt I have been designing for my guest room..top is done, now need the sides (bed spread size) and then to finish.
5. I want to find and create a quilt with houses on it. Applique or piece the houses, but for some odd reason, houses have been a little favorite of mine to make..haven't made anything out of it, but a wall hanging about 20 years ago, but I want to make a town or street scene or something like that...FOR ME!!!

as far a quilting goes, that is all I have planned. But I want to get some decorative throw pillows done for my living room and finish decorating the guest room and hopefully re organize my sewing room and get some usable furniture in there to make it look nice instead of just a room with fabric, two tables and 2 machines sitting there! Also need to focus on some household decor too...things on the walls etc... just spruce up the house. Maybe get into quilted wall hangings.

I have so many projects to finish before Christmas that I have not really thought about next year, yet.

UFO's go without saying, right? However, there is one I really need to get back to - the kaleidoscope one that is my avatar!

What I know that I want to do:
* a square in a square from the 2 black and white swaps I was in (charms and strips)
* more paper piecing - I tried it for my mug rug and really liked it

Not awake enough to come up with more - think I am going to head for a nap.

My plans are the same as always. PICU, COC, Bereavement quilts and I need to get a few together for Brook for the pregnancy center. She probably thinks I forgot about her, but I just had a busy, rough summer. Would love to make a quilt for myself. Someday.

I just need to finish up things I've started. Then I'd like to start my Dot quilt that I've bought fabrics for this past year. If all else fails I think I will take all my stash to Jean and we can start our own fabric store.

I have been quilting (on and off) for years, but I feel I have nothing to show for it. So this coming year I plan to make quilts only for me and my husband. Also, I plan to make some wall hangings and things that I can use to decorate my home.

I am working on some BOM classes on craftsy and think they are amazing. I don't have any quilting friends, so doing these classes feels like I am part of a community.

There are some designs that I would like to try, Lone Star, Amazon Star, etc. And definitely work on FMQ. I think my biggest hindrance to FMQ is that I get so tense, and then can't go for very long. Perhaps one of my 2014 resolutions should be to only FMQ after a couple glasses of wine!
