Now that we are moved into the new house, I'm hoping that 2012 will be a better year for completing projects. In 2011, I didn't really get a lot of projects made due to time spent moving, planning the house, over-seeing building, etc. I have a few UFOs that should be quick to finish once I get my quilting frame setup again, but I do have quite a few projects that I would definitely like to finish up this year.
- Purple Squared Quilt
- This quilt is already pieced and a good portion of the quilting is done already. Since this is a smaller quilt, I'm quilting it on my DSM versus the frame. At this stage, I need to quilt the borders and then apply the binding.
- 06MAR2012 Update - This quilt is now done!! :-) I haven't taken a photo yet, but the quilt looks pretty good. I think I may have to bring it into work so that I have a little bit of home here.

- Shine on Bayou Cane Quilt
- This quilt is already pieced, but no quilting is done yet. I already have backing material, so its ready to be loaded onto the quilt frame and quilted, then attaching the binding.
- 22JAN2012 Update - Backing is washed and pressed. This is ready to go onto the frame to get quilted.
- Beginner Sampler Quilt
- This quilt is already pieced, but not quilting is done yet. I have already layered the quilt and pin-basted it, so its ready for quilting. I plan on quilting this on my DSM.
-
- Labyrinth Quilt
- This quilt has the top pieced, but no quilting done yet. I have to still pick out a backing for it, but once that happens, it will also go into the pile for the quilting frame.
-
- Orca Bay Mystery Quilt
- This is a mystery quilt that Bonnie Hunter is running in 2011. I have step 1 almost done and would like to be able to make this entire quilt top and quilt it in 2012.
- 03JAN2012 Update - I have all 224 QST blocks made for step 1. I also have about 32 string pieced blocks made for step 2 (out of 72) and 40 HST blocks made for step 3 (out of 350). I'm going to have to force myself to set aside the string blocks for a little while so I can concentrate on getting Purple Squared quilted.
- Intermediate Sampler Quilt
- I have 4 of 30 blocks made for this sampler quilt that I designed. The hardest blocks are the first ones and then the piecing gets much simpler. I'm hoping to get this pieced and quilted in 2012.
-
- Scrap Quilt
- This is a quilt made up of 2" (finished) squares that showcase all the fabrics that I've put into quilts so far. I have about half of the blocks made and I hope to be able to piece this entire top in 2012. Since it is a scrap quilt though, its my "leader-ender" project for my other sewing. It will get worked on as I complete other projects.
-
- Lone Star Wall Hanging
- This quilt is a request from my husband. He would like me to make a really large wall-hanging to put in our foyer. I still have to design this quilt and then get fabric for it.
-
- Heat Wave Quilt
- This is a quilt from one of Judy Laquidara's books. I bought the fabric a few years ago, and just haven't found the time to make the quilt. This is definitely on my to-do list since technically all the fabric is in "the stash".
-
- Memories of Monet Quilt Kit
- This is a kit that I bought about 2 years ago. The pattern is gorgeous, but again, I just haven't had the time to make it yet. I would definitely like to get this one done, too.
-
- Taos Quilt
- I bought this pattern from Whirligig designs and its an awesome pattern. I don't have fabric yet for it, so its at the bottom of the to-do list for 2012.
-
- Ocean Waves Quilt
- This quilt is also one that I haven't really designed or purchased fabric for yet. I've always liked this pattern...simple yet beautiful. This is another at the bottom of the list since if I don't get it made, its not a huge deal.
