A new month and a clean set of goals to play with!! And my head has been spinning lately with ideas for new projects. I couldn't possibly live long enough to make everything I want to make.
One main thing that I want to happen is to quilt and bind the Fish School quilt. I searched high and low for a "fishy" print to use on the back of this one, and finally found this one called Aquarium - Under the Sea by Timeless Treasures. It even has the same pale aqua in the background that is in the fish row of the quilt - and most of the bright colors from the strips show up too. My plan is to quilt this one myself and I have a plan already. Wish me luck!!!
What else is on my October list? Lots of ongoing things and I'm sure a squirrel or 2 will cross my path before the end of the month. There is always some new sew-along online that tempts me, or some new project I see in a quilt shop. And lately I've spent almost as much time dreaming up new projects as I have sewing the actual projects.
And our guild quilt show is in the middle of October, so there will be more inspiration for new projects going on there I'm sure. I just know I'll see something I want to make either from one of the trunk shows or from the vendors there. But here is my very basic list to get started:
- Monthly sew-along projects
- choose fabric for NEW Saturday Sampler
- weekly Farmer's Wife Sampler blocks
- Pillow of the Month (Halloween pillow)
- Simple Whatnots - I've fallen behind in Club 10
- Squirrels & PIGS & other new things
- cut out the tote bags for Olivia (music) and Sophia (animals) for Christmas
- Block drive (patriotic Jelly Belly Bar )
- Pick a PIG - ????
- Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC21) in Neutrals or Lime Green
- Home Is . . . - choose a final layout for the quilt
- Bunny block
- Twinkle Star blocks
- Ohio Star blocks
- Tulip Time blocks
- sew Wisdom block into rows
- UFO and WIP projects - make some progress
- APQ UFO Challenge #8
- make more pillowcases
- more blocks for Checkered Stars
- navy blue Sew Together bag
- Fish School quilt - quilt and bind
- Quilt the little Lori Holt Bee Patriotic project
- Cleaning and Organizing my sewing space
- clean off my cutting space
- organize the patriotic fabrics

ReplyDeleteYou picked a fun background for the baby quilt. Good luck with all your plans for the month.
ReplyDeleteGreat backing fabric. I’m eager to see how you quilt it.
ReplyDeleteThat is a perfect fabric for the back! This quilt will be a beauty. I know how it is...my attention span is lacking as I have not finished anything in a while:)
