After finishing my sister's quilt, I completely neglected my blog. I have LOTS of projects going on, but few are completed. Time to buckle down and get some projects completed. Easier said then done, right? We all have so much going on in our lives. I could list all of it, but you all know the list.
So what will I do to get those unfinished projects completed? I joined a club at my many-times named, favorite shop, Piece By Piece called the "Resolution Club." Joining fee is $10. For that $10 you get one Saturday a month of uninterrupted open sewing at the shop, snacks, social time, and help and inspiration, if needed. Upon submission of your fee, you must also submit a list of five projects to be completed by year's end. COMPLETED. The project, if a quilt, must be quilted and bound to be considered completed. At the end of the year there will be a social where we will show off our finished projects and celebrate our accomplishments!!
I sort of took the cheater's way out. I have T-shirt quilts to complete for graduation gifts and put them on my list. I also volunteered to do a T-shirt quilt for the 20th anniversary of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Scenic Shore 150 bike ride. Tim does this ride every year and the quilt will be auctioned off with the proceeds going to the charity.
So, here's my list:
1. Erin's T-shirt quilt
2. Robyn's T-shirt quilt
3. Anna's T-shirt quilt
4. Leukemia & Lymphoma Society T-shirt quilt
5. Morley S. Moose wall hanging
Ok, so the last one looks like it doesn't belong, right. EXACTLY!! I wanted to do something completely different from the other projects and something I could complete on my own without taking it to the quilter.
I have the top of Erin's T-shirt quilt done. Erin is a friend of a friend who wanted a t-shirt quilt made from her college sorority t-shirts sadly hanging out in a drawer.
Just this morning this went off the the quilter, who informed me that there are 20 quilts ahead of this one. This pattern is out of the You Did What??? With my T-Shirt! Great book. Lots of ideas and patterns. I will be making the other three t-shirt quilts from the same book.
I hope to not neglect my blog so much . . . Until next time.
