Quilting plans - what I did in January

New day - New Year - Fresh Start!

At least that's what I envisioned!  Fresh start being FINISHING a bunch of quilts!

January's plans - and it all started so simply.............

I re-did all my quilt lists.  To me, considering how SLOW (procrastinating) I work through some stuff - I decided to list SEPARATELY all hand work stuff, all STRING stuff, all APPLIQUE stuff - at least until some point when I could move them over to the quilting lists.  That was the plan!

There were those quilts that I had sort of not really almost started - you know, the ones I REALLY wanted to do, selected the fabrics and maybe sliced one strip of fabric from.  And that was about all.  Anyway - after last year's discovery that I might not even have a clue what the original pattern was - I moved all of those to WHIMs (wishful hopes in mind?) and there they sit!  They do NOT belong on the WIPs (works in progress) list!

And, of course, I wanted a group of FAST and EASY items so I could throw something together and GET IT DONE (such as when my number got close to the top on Stashbuster queen's list!)  Uh huh!

My January list:

1. Swap with Wendy
2. January numbers - the one I DIDN'T have - I substituted for LE my Tobacco Road quilt (at that point - only 2 strips of fabric sewn together).
3. January numbers - New Year's Mystery table topper.
4. Buckeye Beauty baby quilt - all sandwiched and ready to go.  If I was on a roll quilting wise - I could do THIS one as a swap.  If not - well there was the LE Tobacco Road

And that was it!

Of course - there was that cute Charleston picture that I wanted to change around - and - and .....

I decided that Tobacco Road would be a leader ender.  That decision lasted about 2 seconds.

RESULTS:


Swap with Wendy - DONE - for January anyway!
Only difference between this and the reality is
that the 4-patches are red and black


Tobacco Road - all pieces sewn together and started to assemble.  (sorry - no picture at this point!)

New Year's Mystery  Table Topper - still UNDONE 
No idea what I want to do re quilting it!


Buckeye Beauty baby quilt - still UNDONE.  One would have thought that since I didn't know what to do re quilting the NY mystery that I would have done this one.
NO idea how I want to quilt it.
Still, though, one would have thought.............




Charleston - ummmmmmmmmmmmm - well - uh - that started (very briefly) as a LE - and kind of took over.  Baby quilt ALMOST put together by the end of January (no picture at that stage however!)

AND I FINALLY got the binding hand sewn on the Log Cabin quilt.
Queen sized - with miles and miles and miles of binding!

                                And it's ..... SATURDAY!!! Hooray! WAIWO 11-02-13

                                My favorite trees - outside my apartment building

                                I'd like to blame it all on the cold and my boob surgery - but, honestly, I can't!  Let's just say that if wiring was all that was needed to light up all the holiday lights for Westfield for the holidays - and that since I'm the one who ate something like 2 pastries, 2 cups hot chocolate, and 4 doughnuts and was considering a 5th - then I should have the lights up and running - for the next TWO years - at least!

                                Am about to head out and take some pictures - mostly because I am totally T-bored with everything I have.  Not that these will have to do with flowers.... but - there IS a lot of other scenery... isn't there?

                                Have found - it is REALLy hard for one person to take pictures - especially since weekends are heavier traffic times - and almost every place (excepting for this tree) has NO WHERE you can really stop and take pictures!  Re pictures of the college - there were events AT the college (football game) and at Stanley park across the way - both today!  I had NO idea how the pictures turned out - until now - especially since most were drive...hold camera outside window with one hand.... hope a lot!..... and take the picture and keep on driving!  So - we'll see!  NOT done - will continue to working on taking pictures as time wears on,  I think.

                                STILL haven't made up my mind on the setting for Holy Toledo - but am thinking of Barrister's block - which is VERY VERY similar to Bonnie's!  Still would like to put this on point - but honestly - I don't have any of the same kinds of green I used and I'm VERY jealously hoarding all the rest of the greens while waiting for the mystery!

                                Design Wall for Week 43 - 10-28-13

                                Bonnie Hunter's Holy Toledo quilt with a different setting -
                                needs blocks sewn together, setting triangles, and borders on

                                Fall Pumpkin swap - actually done - has a stem - and I can't find my picture of the completed pumpkin.
                                Needs to be mailed

                                Improvisational placemat #1.  All 4 are completed (along with a "centerpiece") -
                                now for the applique, backing and quilting!
                                Baby Quilt #1 - STILL needs quilting - walking foot -
                                SHOULD be easy.  God willing!

                                Back to Square One Mystery quilt.
                                Working one step  a day to hopefully catch up!  Need a more current picture but I don't have one!

                                BUSY weekend - What I did!!! 10-25 to 10-27-13

                                Thursday and Saturday night I worked hard - until 1230 each night - 1 AM on this........

                                Holy Toledo by Bonnie Hunter
                                (Blocks are DONE!)
                                 Then Friday night I worked on the Y seams on this.  Rest was a piece of cake! But oh those Y seams!
                                Fall Pumpkin Swap - it's done - has stem on it.  Pieced pumpkin
                                 I also finished the 4th of the Improvisational quilts.  This little exercise was in response to a Color challenge that Vickie Welsh did.  She had shown a picture (by Seurat???) of a woman sitting in a chair - like in a sidewalk cafe - Victorian era - and she had the full leg of mutton sleeves - and was watching the sidewalk as people walked by.  The colors were as below and somehow this came to my mind in response to the painting.  The Improvisational quilt is supposed to help me free up my mind so that I'm not as restrictive as I usually am.  However - you can see (these are out of order) the progression from a rectangular shape to eventually a more trapezoidal shape.  Yes, these ARE placemats - no two the same in color, makeup of pieces used, shape (although 3 do come close!)  And no - they are NOT finished - along with this improvisational background, I want to applique (even with MY skills :(  ) a white plate with a single "taster" helping of fruit on it.  And when time comes to quilt - I think I want to use a combination of McTavishing (on the plate and again on the fruit - to emphasize it's fullness) and something else - not sure exactly what!  It is unbelievable the amount of time I spend on these 4 agonizing over my choices!

                                Is it.... Can it REALLy be FRIDAY again? WAIWO 10-25-23

                                Love this!  Went shopping and did all my running around!  Had a list - a long list of stuff I wanted - which I abbreviated A LOT at the grocery store - but still had a MUST buy portion on the list.  One of the MUST buy items was eggs.  I remembered eggs as I drove out my drive - and double checked to make sure it was on my list!  Remembered eggs again at the library - and triple checked - yup! on my list!  Remembered eggs as I walked into the grocery store.  Got home and unpacked everything and put it away.  Went to make dinner - and to make challah.  No eggs!

                                So - how could I remember so many times and make sure to NOT forget eggs, have a list and all - and STILL manage to forget them!  Ugh!

                                Went to Open sew Fri eve - stayed until 11 PM when I hit my wall and had to go home. (Open sew open THAT night until Midnight - last midnight open sew for the year!)  Wheeled my roll along sewing machine carrier and boxes and bags inside.  DID manage to put the roll along away.  Left all else where it was!  Went to bed - slept until 3 AM - got up, got in my PJs, turned off extra lights and went back to bed.  slept late Sat morn!

                                  I love versidd!  It's an anaesthetic that in combination with another anaesthetic gives me the BEST nap!  Best part - when I wake up, whatever procedure there was - is ALL OVER!!  Yeehaw!

                                  Along with this - tests thus far have been negative.  Today was the endoscopy and another procedure (which I do not want to discuss!) Slept right through  both of them!  A FAR FAR better change than the last time I had both procedures - when I had NO anaesthetic, NO pain killers - NADA!  Just me and the procedure - MAN I hated that!

                                  Anyway - home from there - and all I've done is sleep, eat, drink and sleep some more!  As for anything else?  - it all goes on tomorrow's!

                                      Improv placemat (and yes, I forgot to take a picture of this AGAIN!) -
                                       hope to get this done this week and ready for final quilting!~

                                      Yellow Brick Road baby quilt - will be FMQ - and I'm scared silly of that!

                                      Baby Quilt #1 - I need update of this - needs finish quilting and binding

                                      Holy Toledo - this is a very fun quilt to do!
                                      The pattern for the quilt is by Bonnie Hunter -
                                      and is published in her book
                                        Scraps &Shirttails II: Continuing the Art of Quilting Green


                                      Pumpkin swap - needs updated pictures!
                                      I DEFINITELY need updated pictures!  Did decide though to NOT put a face on the pumpkins!
                                      though I could pin one on if I wished for Halloween!

                                                            Big Blocks for Big Block Drive (Alycia's QOV Big Block Drive) - FIRST installment!
                                                            Needs only one more stripe on 3 of them and trimming for them to be done -
                                                            would then be 12 instead of 10 (either short term memory is shot! or I can't count!)
                                                            Aaack!  That would be 9 instead of the 12 I mentioned - and for sure I can't count!
                                                            (Personally I was a LOT happier when I thought I would have 12 ready!)
