I'm making a list of quilting things I'd like to accomplish this year. I figure if I write it down (or type it here), that's a step in the direction of making it happen. But I consider it a fluid list, subject to change if my creative muse takes me in a new direction.
1. Good Tidings, from Miss Rosie. Directions are in an issue of Australian Homespun that I just happen to have.
2. Brand New Day, another pattern from Miss Rosie. This is a WIP I blogged about in December. I am making it with my hoarded Folkart Christmas fabrics designed by Robyn Pandolph back in days when she designed for Moda.
3. Another applique quilt - I am thinking of a design from the Quilting with My Sister book that would make a nice wall hanging for my sewing room.
4. School Spirit - a gold and blue quilt for the Parents Association auction at my daughter's school
5. Finish my Dresden plate UFO - this is my portable project. I knew it would be a long-term endeavor when I started it (in 2007 I think) - long-term, not life-time.
6. Make something that is atypical for me. I think this will use my turquoise and aqua fabrics, the fat quarters I've been collecting for a couple of years.
7. Skill expander quilt - My skill expander in 2009 was Shasta Daisy, my first machine applique quilt. I have a WIP based on a variation on the kaleidoscope block. I have not worked with an isosceles triangle before, and a block with 8 pieces coming together in the center is a challenge for me too.
That's seven goals on the to-do list, which is probably more than enough. I am sure to be side-tracked by fabric I can't resist and new patterns I see. But I have good intentions.
What about you? What are your quilting plans for 2010?
