BOMs Away Monday is here:
Barbara's running her really fun program again for 2013.As I already have a huge (though shrinking) UFO list and a ginormous untouched kits list (gathered and itemized during our cross-country move), I'll be "shopping" from the Denizens of the Creepy Room for my NewFOs this year (scroll down on the Horizon tab to see a truly astonishing list). - Except when I need a gift and my birthday month - for those, I'm allowed to put together something entirely new if I want. I'm sure I'll want! ;D
Here's what I anticipate adding to the mix next year:
- January - Run, Kitty, Run - a special gift with one purchased fabric and the rest from stash
- February - HST baby quilt for my sister's first child, stash plus Kona background
- March - Hoot Twister (or use the pattern for Kristy's Dream that's saved, with quilting like here)
- April - You Must Be Croaking
- May - Tuscany Terrace
- June - My Tweets
- July - Quilting By the Bay's HST beauty
- August - something from a local quilt store! :D woohoo Happy Birthday To Me
- September - That Lanterns Thing
- October - Jovial 3D Trees
- November - That Bad Boy (yep, there's a story here)
- December - Martha's Holiday Spin
I figure My Tweets, Quilting by the Bay's, whatever I get for my birthday, and Martha's Holiday Spin will not be finished within the year. They are hugely involved quilts that will need cyclical attention. I can't stand to work on one project straight through for as long as I know those will need. Long-term friends are good, though. They make really fun runs of finishes when they're all close to the binding stage.
Here's what I anticipate finishing from the existing UFO list to counterbalance that inflow:
- Marissa's Moment of Caprice [finished!]
- (Heather's) Synergistic Wind Mills [finished!]
- Charity Wheelchair Quilt [finished!]
- Wagon Wheels West 2 [finished!]
- Wild Rose Cottage BOM [finished!]
- Mermaid Fantasy
- Devon's Earth Monkeys [finished!]
- Frog Lily
- Dragonfly Party 1 [finished!]
- Dragonfly Party 2 [finished!]
- Quiet Rebellion on the Pond
- Kelly's 1930s
- Hunter's Star Class
- Hunter's Star The Way I Wanted
So I should have 12 new friends and 22 finishes next year - most of them quite large quilts - if I can toe this line. :)
Yay for August! :D
ReplyDeleteInterested in seeing your Hunter's Stars. I still want to make another one in three colors...after I quilt #2!
How can you have so many quilts/kits/projects (OK - I had to laugh at the creepy room)?? You don't look like you are 112yrs old?? I admire your honesty, drive, acceptance of the inevitable, and organization. Glad to see My Tweets in there - I'll still be plugging away too. Good luck and roll on 2013!
ReplyDeleteYou have a lot of great projects to look forward to in 2013!
ReplyDeleteVery ambitious list! And a really, really fun one!!! Looking forward to seeing these come to life :*)
ReplyDeleteA great list - and NewFO is no pressure to finish, so relax and breath.
ReplyDeleteLove your list. The frogs are so cute!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great thing to plan for the next year - I'll have to check this out!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you've got next year planned out already! I'm looking forward to seeing all these :)
ReplyDeleteYou've got a really fun list. It's going to be a challenge balancing the NewFOs with the UFOs.
