Anyone got quilt plans for 2014?

After the holidays I will start the blocks for the Civil War quilt. I'm not rushing it and will just work on one block a week. I'm just starting another quilt , Summer In The Park, and I still have one quilt sandwich and ready for me to take the plunge and do the quilting and another hanging on the design wall that I haven't found the fabric I want for the backing and border.
Oh, and I just bought fabric to do the Lone Star quilt featured in the McCalls Quilting magazine Jan/Feb 2014 issue. I'll need more time to reread the directions and just go slow. Never heard of crosshairs before so need to do some research. All of this should take me into 2015 :)

Yup I do. First to do the projects in bags. There is at least a dozen. Then create and make my wizard of oz quilt. And somewhere in there manage to attend a retreat. Maybe the october one so that I can have the opportunity to meet the original retreat gang

One thing for sure, is to finish a quilt I started working on this year. Other than that, I need to think about it.

Oh I have big plans, but probably won't get half of them done :lol: I need to make 4 quilts out of my Dads shirts (having a hard time cutting those up). 3 baby quilts have to be done by February, pinwheel, just about every project inthe last Quilting Quick,y magazine, some of those cute fabric boxes, some table runners,wine totes, ...........the list is endless! Too bad I have to work during the day!

I am jealous, wish I livedon 'that side' of the state and couldpop in for some classes!

I have the stuff to do a second Googlies quilt, it was so easy and fun, I decided to do two because dh wants to put bunks in the bedroom we have for the grandkids... So, that will be cute. I'd like to do a block of the month perhaps... Not sure. I still have yet to do a Jelly Roll race but do have the fabric I want to do it with...

I guess I need to look at my list I made last year, check off all the completed projects, start a new list and go from there.

I think I want to take some actual quilting classes and learn to FMQ well and maybe to Long Arm. Jenny is starting to offer classes at the retreat center and it looks like there will be something to do every month, I probably will take advantage of some of that.

This week I will finish the quilt for Heather.......daughter. I plan to stop working on Dec 14th when we go on holiday and only sew things I want to until Christmas. Between Christmas and New Year I will make the quilt that is on my conscience (I won't go into it but its for someone I don't care for and hence don't want to make this quilt but I will feel better once its done)

After that I have orders for 3 king size quilts for some 'posh folk' which Heather predicts will open some flood gates. that's the first quarter of the year taken care of.

I am hoping to clear out my train crash of a work room in between the above. My friend Caroline has a 'winter project' for us to do which consists for her making a quilt and co ordinating curtains and for me to drag her away from her brown and green colour scheme which she has clung to for 18 years.

Wish me luck with that!

SIL? As for the first of the year, you've got your work cut out for you with 3 king size quilts!

I've completed quite a few things this year mostly gift quilts, with that said my quilts and projects got bumped to the back burner so 2014 will get off with getting my UFO's finished. I have an embroidered advent calendar to finish, an embroidered table topper, and a quilt top to finish before I start any more.

I have lots of quilt plans. A graduation quilt for my niece with this line of fabrics http://i403.photobucket.com/albums/p...pse9fcf8f0.jpg
My quilt group also makes graduation quilts for the seniors at a children's home our church sponsors.
Finish two for a girls home in India
One for my Grandma
Two for myself I've had for four years that I keep pushing to the back of the to do list. One of them a reverse applique out of this fabric http://i403.photobucket.com/albums/p...y7/006-4-1.jpg
Is that only 7? I thought the list was much longer! Maybe I'll actually get to my quilts this year :)
I'm also wanting to do the Serendipity quilts in Jenny's tutorial, but I don't want them limited to Christmas colors. My group makes quilts to give to people who are sick or hurting in some way, so I'm still looking for a jelly roll with 3 or 4 pretty colors.

I know I won't be doing the BOM this next year, because it's been discontinued on Wednesday nights. The only day offered will be Saturday and I always work Saturdays. Not very happy about that! But then, neither are several others! I will be doing the next club that replaces Thimbleberries, and am already signed up for that.

My goal is to complete projects that are in the works. That may include piecing to fmq'ing, to cutting fabric I have bought for planned quilts.....I know there are at least four of them!!!!

All in all, I will be a busy woman!
