I managed to get quite a few things finished in quarter two but a few have had to be rolled forward into Quarter Three.
And this week I really went through all my cupboards, drawers, boxes and such to unearth all sorts of things...so be warned it's a long list and not everything will be completed this Quarter and I'm ok with that.
First up my mosaic of my quilt projects - some from before and some new additions!

And this week I really went through all my cupboards, drawers, boxes and such to unearth all sorts of things...so be warned it's a long list and not everything will be completed this Quarter and I'm ok with that.
First up my mosaic of my quilt projects - some from before and some new additions!
The Quilts
Top Left and clockwise
1. Double Wedding Ring aka Hoopla Quilt; 2. KLT applecore; 3. Alhambra quilt; 4. Bring Me Flowers; 5. Oakshott Christmas candy quiltlet; all rollover projects from last quarter.
I
made good progress with the first two recently and hope I can finish
those this quarter. I am also hoping to make good progress on Alhambra this quarter.
I am adding 6. Britt's quilt, a top handstitched
by a friend who passed on years ago at the age of 50 - it has taken me
this long to be able to think about quilting it; 7. a new Scraptastic Sampler; 8. Greek Cross baby quilt needs a bit more quilting and some bits need requilting;
I don't need to finish any of these this quarter but will if I can. I will be writing tutorials for the Scraptastic Sampler and sharing them during #ScraptasticTuesdays - starting on 9th August, which happens to be our link up day! If you want to join in you will be most welcome.
The Clothes
Next I have been
inspired by so many of you to take up dress making again. I used to
make clothes for myself back in the day when that was the cheap thing to
do.
I bought some
patterns some time ago and they have been far down my previous FAL lists this year but now is the time to tackle these as I would like to make some
clothes that really fit me well. I would also like to dabble in
altering patterns - something I used to do when the kids wanted strange dressing up costumes - combining features from different patterns.
12. Juniper trousers in Ink Washed Linen ; 13. Jasmine top in Park Life Leafscape and 14. Abacus Grow in charcoal; 15. Zinnia skirt in silk (I bought in India before we had children!!!) and 16. Burgundy silk; 17. Dahlia dress in viscose; 18. in Liberty Varuna wool; and 19. in wool paisley; 20. A-line skirt in grey fabric by Yoko Saito & Lecien; and 21. in Charleston Farmhouse Dahlia Leaf by Free Spirit; 22. Yoked dress in Bird fabric; 23. (middle photo) PJs; 24. (right photo) Knickers;
The Knits
25. Crochet bag; 26. Rosebud Scarf; 27. Giant knit scarf;
I can't even remember when I started these. Time they were finished as they are not useful in the state they are now!
The Other
Thirdly here are a few smaller projects, some new, some old, to keep things interesting
28. Handbag kit from U-handbag; 29. Superman backpack;
30. Covered boxes; 31. St David's
Cross cushion to go with my quilt; 32. Test block cushion; 33. Bolster cushion 34. Trellis design runner; 35. Trellis Design Large Cushion; 36. London Skyline pouch; 37. Dala tote bag; 38. Sashiko fabric basket; 39. Liberty Stars
The Siblings Together Quilts
I am currently taking a break from making quilts for Siblings Together this quarter but will be back to making more for the charity before the year.
Just in case I finish all the above these are the quilts I have in hand to make for Siblings Together
40/41. Circles Quilt x2 ; 42/43/44. QAYG Tile quilt x3; 45. Superhero quilt;
46. Butterflies Quilt
I have never had this many projects on my list before, nor had such a variety of projects. Wish me luck as I think I'm going to really need it!

Not sure how many hours are in your day, but I wouldn't be able to finish this list in a year, let along three months! Maybe you live in some alternate universe or the twilight zone where time slows down..... Good luck
ReplyDeleteGood luck! Though if anyone can do it, I think it would be you.
ReplyDeleteWow! I thought my list was long!! Happy Sewing!
ReplyDeleteoh I do wish you luck! wowsers!
ReplyDeleteoh, oh..... i am happy, not to be alone with an endless TDFL=ToDoFinishList;-))
ReplyDeleteI think mine is much longer and i know, i need more than one year for it, because i love to start new projects.

I honestly don't think you need luck as you seem to be steaming on without it, but it would be mean not to say 'good luck' and mean it!!
