Getting it Done - January!

Never Too Hot to Stitch!As 2013 begins, I'm going to try and stay organized and on top of my projects....  And I will be joining many other bloggers out there both completing projects and starting new ones up!

Lynne at Never too Hot to Stitch has a great challenge going, encouraging finishing one project before starting new ones...  This sounds like a great idea!

A Lovely Year of FinishesShanna of Fiber of All Sorts and Melissa of Sew BitterSweet Designs are hosting 2013 ~ A lovely year of finishes. For this challenge, my January challenge is to finish my daughter's skirt. Sorry its currently lost in the sewing room... Here is a photo of the fabrics - it the blue plaid, and the blue woven solid underneath....

As well as joining Leanne at She Can Quilt! for the 2013 Finish A Long 





So what is on my list?   Its going to be a simple list, sewing items anyways, as my main goal is home renovations and moving my longarm machine to my new studio.

  1. Start the Starburst Quilt A Long by choosing fabrics.  
  2. Load the Quilt from Sew Happy Quilt's Quilt A Long onto the lonagrm.  (UFO)
  3. Finish a skirt for my older daughter. (UFO)
  4. Embroider a blanket for my son's band fundraiser.  (DUE Jan 15)
  5. Block for Quilt Guild BOM (January 11)
  6. Jelly Roll Race Quilt at Guild Meeting (January 11)
  7. Rennovations
    • Empty both Rooms
    • Remove carpets, wall, one door
    • Rewire, possibly adding a sub-panel for the room and better lighting.
    • Frame in closet, buy a closet door.
    • (I think there is some discussion about insulation and the ceiling.... but.... that takes time....)
    • Patch Drywall, Repaint
    • Re-floor (maybe some in-floor heating?)
    • Move Stuff!
I am also considering Quilt Sampler QAL to practice my free motion quilting....  but really don't need  another project right now.... so I really think I'll skip this unless it has a longer time schedule...  I also was thinking of doing the Dare to Dresden Blog Hop over at Sew We Quilt!
