Quilting and Beyond: January 2019

New year, and a few new goals for 2019, since I was able to get quite a few finished in Q4 of 2018. I am hoping to not add too many to the list, as I really want to make some of these ones, that I already have all of the supplies for.

1. Elephant - Violet Craft - I have the fabric and have started sewing this one.

2. 2018 Block of the Month (BOM) by Quilt Addicts Anonymous - I have the top together now, but it needs to be quilted and bound.

3. More baby hats from this yarn

4. More baby hats from this yarn

5. Crocheted temperature blanket - I am a bit behind, but am making progress. This won't be finished this quarter, but I want to keep track of it.

6. Sweater out of this fabric - I have the fabric, and will use one of the Annelaine patterns I have, probably the coffee and tea pattern.

14. Running Zebra - Paper pieced - Have the pattern and fabrics will be pulled as I go from my stash.

15. Zebra Head- Have the pattern and the fabrics will be pulled as I go from my stash.

16. Giraffe - Violet Craft - I have the pattern and fabrics (Cherrywood of course) all ready to go, but am waiting till I finish the Elephant to start this one.

17. Mountains - Violet Craft - I bought the pattern this summer when in the Seattle area and can't wait to make this one. It may even get finished before the Giraffe. Can you tell I am really liking Violet Craft's patterns.

18. Baby Hats out of this yarn (2-3 hats depending on what pattern I use).

19. Baby Hats out of this yarn (2-3 hats depending on what pattern I use).

29.Set Sail by Jaybird Quilts - I really need to finish this one soon, as the baby is due before too long.

30.Ribbon Candy by Jaybird Quilts - I have the blocks done, just need to put them together, quilt and label.

31.Good Fortune mystery quilt by Bonnie Hunter - I have all of the sub pieces done and then got an ear infection, so once I am feeling better I can't wait to start assembling.

Mid March I am at Quilt retreat for 5 days. Here are the projects I plan to complete from the new Jaybird Quilts patterns I just got! Thanks to my friend at Quilt Addicts Anonymous I was able to order some of the patterns I was missing from my collection.

33. Lucky Charm - Using scraps from my stash.

34 - Mini Tasty using Rainbow fabric from my stash.

35. Nova - using Rainbow fabric from my stash

36. Jawbreaker - from my scraps of rainbow stash.

37. Biscuit - I will use scraps from my stash to make me a new pin cushion.

There is a glimmer of hope that these will get done this quarter….if I try really hard:

38. Grandmother's Flower Garden (Queen) - This is my ongoing handwork project. I think I still have quite a few more to make.

39. Pixelated Wolf Quilt - I still really like this wolf, but it is slow moving due to the number of triangles per row, and not having a place to lay the whole thing out.

And that is another long quarter list….but here in the Midwest it is winter which means means more time inside and only minimal time outside. Once again I am hoping to work on the newborn hats while my son is at cub scouts, and while in waiting rooms. I am hoping to finish at least 12-15 per quarter in 2019 to donate to the University of Iowa hospital. They need approx. 2000 hats a year.

Can't wait to see everyone else's lists and finishes for the new year.
