That's not a new title or a new line for that matter. It's funny, no matter how many quilts you have 1/2 started or in a box ready to go (yes I've grouped my fabric to make a kit so I can start it but never started it), you always want to start another one.
There was a time that I kept on buying fabric until it was all hidden in storage, so I couldn't even see it. So that's when the idea came of making the kits and getting them in a container (most are in scrap booking cases - easy to see what's in them and easy to see the material). But then I didn't have room for the cases, so those went into the storage area. Making it stupid because now I couldn't even see anything. It was funny, at one point I had two kits of the same pattern I wanted to do.
When my husband started to mention how many kits I had, I started to buy patterns only, they were digital and didn't take up much space, but then I would collect the fabric for the ones I really wanted to do, which was all the ones I bought. So in the end, the same problem.
I did at one point start cleaning my room, and it is really going well with all the containers but they cover the extra door in the room (I have two exits - a barn door and a door to a small room that's listed as an extra bedroom), so that's not working. What will work, to finish some of those quilts, and that's what I'm doing.
So here's my list of what I need to do this month. The list contains two sections, painting and quilting because those are my two hobbies:
Painting:
- three cards that you can mail but you paint the images on them.
- seal mammal from the last post. It shows the video that I will be following
- Acrylic painting of Zeon National Park.
Quilt
- applique girl with RB blocks all around it. No quilt batting because we need a quilt that will not be too warm. The majority of the blocks needed are done. The Applique was a quilt cover that someone else did. I found it in a second hand store and loved the colors, so I'm converting it into what I want
- 4 more blocks from the Cozy Winter BOM from Apples and Beaver Cozy Holidays BOM.
- teddy bear
- Reindeer
- Female elf
- male elf
- bell with ribbon.
- steam engine
- snowman.
these are the ones left to do.
Those are my goals for this month, those two things. These are the extras that I want to do
3 more blocks of cactuses for a quilt I'm doing. The pattern is "Oh My Cacti" by Pen and Paper Patterns. The pattern is from Pen and Paper patterns. This is the link to the pattern if you're interested but I got to tell you, the pattern is hard and complicated if you're doing scrap pieces of material for each cacti or for a couple, because you got to keep track of every piece and I'm finding it hard. Have to label everything.- The Giant Swoon called Patchwork Swoon from "Thimble Blossoms" by Camille Roskelley. I love her work. I started it last month, and now I want to finish it. It was one of my kits that I always wanted to do. It's an old pattern that I bought 10 years ago. I'm using a Jelly Roll by Collage Bitterweet, something I purchased from Craftsy.com when they changed hands 10 years ago as well. It's sweet, and just right. As for the rest of the material, I used scraps that I purchased from a woman online that can no longer quilt because of her arthritis. It's very common in BC with all the rain. This one is not even in a container, it's in a paper sheet protector, so I really want it done. And I love the pattern. Hopefully, it will become a barn door. I'm doing it because I want to see if I can do it. One of those challenges.
