Crafty Wish Lists and To-Dos


The worst part of the wedding quilt, was that it forced crafty-monogamy.  I trucked through that quilt and surprised myself with how well it went.  This caused an extreme boost in confidence, then an extreme need to work on new and exciting things.  Unfortunately I had weeks left of piecing, quilting, and binding.

Now I have a list and stash of project fabrics that I need to get through.  Big enough that I need it written down.

Waffles attempting to help.  He is tangled in my foot pedal cord.

Things to Complete In the Near Future
  • Social Tote for Mom's Birthday (it's this Sunday!)
  • 3 Box Bags and 3 Origami Bags, from Amy Butler's Style Stitches, for Dad's Birthday (it's this Saturday!)
  • Make Christmas tree canvases.  One is for Sarah's Birthday
  • Start my Tula Pink City Sampler Sew Along.  I have the whole Acacia fat quarter bundle to get me started.  Yay for Raccoon fabric!
  • Take a long arm class at my local shop.  I got my mom a cooking class for mother's day, but she asked to do this with me instead.  I'm super excited.
A now-gifted Divided Basket I made right before "The Wedding Quilt"

Things to Complete in the Not Near Future 
(things I already have fabric or patterns or both)


Wish list
  • Berry Baskets and Fabric Trays
  • Decorate with handmade items.  I don't have a single pillow, throw, or wall hanging.
  • Make a quilt for my bed, I'm eyeing Swoon right now
  • Make a modern quilt/throw for the couch.  The wedding quilt would have been perfect.  Perhaps make a modern HST quilt.
  • Schoolhouse Tunic by Sew Liberated
  • I want a Feather Bed quilt so so so badly for the guest bedroom
