2014 Finish-Along: Quarter 4 Goals {2014 FAL Q4}

I missed the last quarter post for listing the finishes. Not that I finished anything! So busy! I have been working on Halloween Costumes. I am determined to get them done before Halloween. 1 down, 3 to go!

So... Here is my goal list for this quarter! Is it sad that I am still carrying over the list? ;)

1. Labyrinth Lap Quilt... I am still debating the backing for this, if I really want to use it...but I have nothing else...

2.  My band shirt memory quilt... Still trying to find backing fabric for this... I would like a large print musical theme but that seems hard to find...

3. This is baby girl's baby shower quilt.  No extra signers. I think it is time to just sew it up. She needs a momma made quilt. 

4. This is my checker-board quilt. It is still hanging on the design wall. It should be an easy sew, right?

5. Jelly roll quilt... I still need to fins a good enough yellow... Separate the rows and add in the sashing...

6. The Dinosaur quilt that was *supposed* to be Little Man's birthday present (last year). I think before his birthday I had one border around it. At least I have started the quilting! Sad thing? He says he is scared of dinosaurs now! Oh no! 

7. This circle quilt. It was supposed to be for the fabric challenge, but honestly, I know I am not going to be finishing it in time. I seem to sew so slow... But it'll be cool when it is done! I am not sharing what it is going to look like when it is done, but you are more than welcome to guess! ;) I just hope it looks as cool finished as it does in my head! LOL

8. These are supposed to be some Peasant Tops pattern by Tie Dye Diva Patterns (affiliate link) for Baby Girl. I was working on them, then got carried away with something else and I hadn't gone back to them and now, sitting in a manilla folder in the craft room. Better finish them before she cannot wear them! 

9. This is going to be Little Man's Going to Grandma's/&or/Grandpa's over night bag. It is going to be the Dorothy Day Tripper by Swoon Sewing Patterns (affiliate links) ...

10. If I have enough left over I also want to make a Tiny Explorer Backpack by Diedelbug Handmade for him when we go to MOPs meetings, the Zoo, and anything else that seems to fit with learning and fun. ;)

So, for now these are my goals... I seem to keep adding and not subtracting. I also have a bag I am working on, but prefer to keep that secret. I am hoping to finish that soon though! It depends because Brandon said he was going to make the hardware for me! So excited! 

I hope to at least finish the Dino and circle quilt...

2014 Finish-Along: Quarter 3 Goals {2014 FAL Q3}

I missed the last quarter post for listing the goals and I wish I have worked on some of my WIPs and UFOs! But I have been sewing a lot of clothes for the kids. They need it, they seem to grow so fast.

So... Here is my goal list for this quarter! Is it sad that I am just carrying over the list? ;)

1. Labyrinth Lap Quilt... I am still debating the backing for this, if I really want to use it...but I have nothing else...

2.  My band shirt memory quilt... Still trying to find backing fabric for this... I would like a large print musical theme but that seems hard to find...

3. This is baby girl's baby shower quilt.  I am still thinking of just foregoing trying to get other people to write on a square. I'm kind of negative in thinking about this... I love it, and I love that it is messages for her. I love her. This is something that potentially can be with her for a very long time. (I even have backing for it!) I haven't pursued having people writing on a square because no one is responding, yes it has been a while... (Maybe I can bring some squares into the guild?) ... She is going to wonder why some people close to her never wrote on a square. Oh well ... maybe it wont be so hard when it is finished?

4. This is my checker-board quilt. I discussed sizing with Brandon and he doesn't want it bigger than the table, because he doesn't want to play on the floor... But... I don't like wasting fabric and want to use as much of it as I can, so it's going to be a little bigger than the table.  ;) 

5. Jelly roll quilt... I still need to fins a good enough yellow... Separate the rows and add in the sashing...

6. The Dinosaur quilt that was *supposed* to be Little Man's birthday present. I think before his birthday I had one border around it. Now at least it is ready to baste, quilt and bind! He still doesn't know about it! 

7. This circle quilt. It was supposed to be for the fabric challenge, but honestly, I know I am not going to be finishing it in time. I seem to sew so slow... But it'll be cool when it is done! I am not sharing what it is going to look like when it is done, but you are more than welcome to guess! ;) I just hope it looks as cool finished as it does in my head! LOL

So, for now these are my goals... I seem to keep adding and not subtracting. Not to mention a few things for blog tours and such, but I don't think those count? 

I hope to at least finish the Dino and circle quilt... But clothes for the kids is a little top on the list. Samara grows out of things so fast!

2014 Finish-A-long: Quarter 1 Goals {2014 FAL Q1}

Ok... Here is my list, pretty much the same as last quarter because I almost finished one, but not quite... Christmas presents took a lot of time. And Nikolai's birthday party. And, it was all totally worth it! :)

So here are the list of items that I am going to try to fit in between now and March, in between clothing items that is...

1. Craftsy Block of the Month 2012 quilt... Wait, what? 2 years for this one? my goodness me! All that is left is the binding. I can use my new wonderclips that I got for Christmas from my mom! :)

2. Labyrinth Lap Quilt... I am still debating the backing for this, if I really want to use it...but I have nothing else...

3.  My band shirt memory quilt... Still trying to find backing fabric for this...

4. This is baby girl's baby shower quilt. Nope, still sitting on the wall... Just like this...  I am thinking of just foregoing trying to get other people to write on a square. I'm kind of negative in thinking about this... I love it, and I love that it is messages for her. I love her. This is something that potentially can be with her for a very long time. (I even have background!) I haven't pursued having people writing on a square because no one is responding, yes it has been a while... (Maybe I can bring some squares into the guild?) ... She is going to wonder why some people close to her never wrote on a square. Oh well ... maybe it wont be so hard when it is finished?

5. This is still meant to be a checker quilt. I discussed sizing with Brandon and he doesn't want it bigger than the table, because he doesn't want to play on the floor... But... I found the line at the local quilt shop in Sahuarita!!! So it can be bigger than the table! ;)

6. Jelly roll quilt... I still need to fins a good enough yellow... Separate the rows and add in the sashing...

7. My new project... We got this for Nikolai's birthday. Brandon decided he wanted to get him and rc car so it got pushed back to Christmas. But, because I wasn't given time on the weekends to work on it. I was just barely able to get the other gifts done, and they turned out awesome! So this one is just for whenever it gets finished. 

We found this panel at the quilt shop in Sahuarita and it was the only one! Had to get it! It took a while to decide what to do. Just decided to border then quilt it with minky on the back (Nikolai loves fuzzy!)... So I have one more border, quilt and bind. He still hasn't seen it!

So, for now these are my quilting goals... I hope to at least finish the BOM and the Dino quilt... But clothes for the kids is a little top on the list. Samara grows out of things so fast! We are starting to enter the 6-9mos. sizes! We see how big she is on Wednesday!!! :)
