Coming clean - new projects - new page

As I have managed to finish 14 projects out of 20 UFOs this year I have allowed myself to start 

some new projects....and have started a new page on my blog to hold them all as these aren't 

UFOs...not yet anyway!

I know what you are thinking - here she goes again.......ok it's true I didn't mean to start so many.  

Guess I haven't reformed after all - once aquiltaholic, always a quiltaholic...

First up - 1 Oakshott Flowering Snowball  - blaming Mary Dugan for starting me on this one ....

just got a black border to add all round and this top will be all done.  Did I say, it is all Oakshott 

fabric?

2 Scrappy Siblings Together Quilt - instead of scrabbling around trying to get quilts ready in July 

I thought I'd be organised and scrabble around beforehand!  I want to make several of these using

the same block but with different layouts.  All in a good cause.  My first one...

Sheila and her quilting classes have been helping with this project - they have provided lots of 

blocks and so I have a second one ready, and more blocks are coming to finish off a third I hope!  

This one, rather appropriately I feel, reminds me of an Argyll sweater and those generous 

Ayrshire Scottish ladies - not quite Argyll but close!

3 Clamshells quilt - I bought the Sizzix die and if you have the die, you have to use it right? 

 I took this project on holiday to Spain, where I stitched up an 8x8 panel.   Must say it went 

quicker than I had expected so I have made two more panels since and have one cut up and 

ready to stitch.  I am really enjoying stitching it all by hand - no really I am!

4 Nordik Quilt - my Stingy Bee quilt so I'm getting help here with my sampler style Scandinavian 

themed winter quilt!   Lots of blocks recevied and a few more to come then I think I will not be 

able to resist finishing this top off!

5 Handkerchief corners - I am determined this next coming 12 months to really reduce my 

scraps so there will always have to be at least one scrap quilt on the go if I am to succeed!   

Wish me luck I'm calling that project Climbing Scrap Mountain - no exaggeration!  

This is a pretty block to make and very easy to do...

6 Blueberry Park Chevrons  - I have been buying hand screen printed fabric from Karen for ages 

and have quite a collection now especially since I joined in her fabric club.  

I have wanted to showcase it all in a very special quilt because everyone needs a Blueberry Park 

Quilt don't they!??

As you can see it will be a mix of BP fabric and other prints....

I tested out a couple of ways to put these together and think I have a plan I can go with

So there you are!

Just hope that if I can keep stitching I will get down to a sensibly sized list sometime!
