    Default Anyone got quilt plans for 2014?

    Last year was my first year at quilting so I took a class and made a sampler. Then I took the BOM class from Craftsy.

    This year, I joined two BOMs at my LQS. One is done (made a leafy quilt) and the other is waiting for me to decide on sashing. My sister and another friend also joined the Sugar Block Club and are anxious to finish that in December when we get the last block's instruction. And we all did versions of the local shop hop quilt.

    With the new year approaching, we've been talking about what to do next together. We really enjoy doing the same pattern and marveling on the colors and fabrics each one of us has chosen. So I've been scouring the internet, looking for a project. I found Delightful Stars and Aiming for Accuracy at Mishka's Playground and really like them. We might do one of them, but I'm still searching.

    Besides doing a pattern together, we also do our own things. I'm working on a t-shirt quilt, a fidget quilt, and stuff for church.

    What are you planning on doing?

    Lots and Lots of plans.

    One thing for sure is a Civil War Sampler. I bought my friend a CW layer cake and matching FQ's of lighter shades of the fabric from the same line, and Barbara Brachman's book. I also bought myself the same fabric. So, we plan to make sampler blocks with the fabric until it is gone and then get more!

    So many quilts to make - so few years to make them...

    I have no idea yet, I have a few things I could do... but not sure. I have two different sets of repro fabrics that I love and I need to find projects for those. 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.

    I have no definite plans for 2014, but I took inventory of my stash yesterday, and every quilt better have a jelly roll in it. I have way too many stashed. And no more JRR quilts, I have them all over the house and have gifted them to practically every family member! On to a new use of the esteemed Jelly Roll!

    I have been gathering fabrics for a blue and white quilt, and also for a low contrast (aka low volume) quilt so those will be my 2 New year projects. I have a magazine pattern for the blue & white, but no pattern yet for the low contrast. It doesn't seem worth it to do an elaborate pattern with low contrast fabrics, but I don't necessarily want to do a one patch pattern like bricks either. So I don't have plan for that one yet.

    I have no definite plans but here are a few that I would like to accomplish:

    1. Quilt the Maple Leaf Log Cabin quilt.
    2. Take a class at the LQS
    3. Make some memory quilts of my brother (to give to family)
    4. Finish my Ellie Ann quilt
    5. Organize my sewing room

    I'm sure I will find a lot of other things to do/make also.

    Here's what is on the list so far:
    1: Finish the tennis quilt I started for my daughter to take on the road. Her college tennis season starts in January so I need to get busy!
    2: Make three "50th" birthday quilts for childhood friends. They actually turned 50 in 2013 but I'm behind!
    3: Make a baby quilt for a colleague having a child in April.
    4: Make a quilt for me. I bought some beautiful low volume fabric at Hawthorne Threads in October and need to decide on a pattern.
    5: Set up my Bernina frame and learn how to use it.
    6: Learn how to use my new Bernina 780 (especially the embroidery module)!

    So much could be happening for the family and I in 2014, so it's hard to make long range plans on the quilting. I'll be taking weekend by weekend!
    * I'd like to save up for a new sewing machine and/or a long arm machine.
    * I'd like to attempt the Big Star pattern.
    * I like to condense my scraps into beautiful creations...love scrappy!
    * I would love to have my sewing room more organized and user friendly!
    * And provided we move from Missouri to Arkansas could change all the plans/goals above!
    Cross your fingers please!

    I make of list every year of what I aspire to make in the following year. I hit the target pretty well in 2013. I have two large quilts to make for family and two large UFOs to take care of. These four quilts may take a few months. I also want to keep with the Groups I belong to...PICU, Bereavement and Cyber Elves. I always make a small bright quilt for the summer and normally give them away. I'm keeping the Double Tumbler quilt (Summer Bazaar) I made in 2013. It's one of our faves and it was so darn simple! I'm thinking of doing something with Lone Stars next year.....just thinking at this point. I love the Vin du Jour line by French General and want to make something special with it. All of this and I have jury duty January through April 2014 so I will be somewhat tied down.

    I hope everyone achieves their quilting dreams in 2014.
