FAL list Q1
New year, new list... although a couple of these have been ongoing for some time this is what I'm hoping to get done for the Finish A Long in the next three months.
1. Bee AMH Feathers Quilt - just a teeny bit more quilting and then binding.
2. Rose Star Quilt - not sure how many more I will do, I really need to work it out but it's still not big enough to be a useful quilt. Thinking about it this probably isn't going to get done but whatever, I'm aiming high.
3. Draft excluder - a commission, needs stuffing and sewing up.
4. Reward chart - another commission. I've planned a design and have gorgeous felt and scraps just waiting to be sewn up.
5. Trimming cushion - using these pretty vintage trims, pieces cut and should be simple to sew.
6. Ottoman - again pieces cut just need to get my act together, my legs need this!
7. S is for Stitch
quilt - I'm up to 'S' so a few more blocks to embroider and only a couple more weeks until my friend's baby is due. The ABC block of the week is 'P' so here's my 'pineapple', not a design from the book but I'm substituting a couple (also see 'J'!).
8. Little doll - I've already put about 6 hours work into this. Not a fast make for a free magazine gift kit but she's so adorable I don't care! She needs shoes and putting together. She was designed by Danielle Thompson of Kitschy Digitals and was free with Issue 34 of Mollie Makes.
9. Clutch bags - Using pretty FQs, I'm making some simple clutches for my Etsy shop / future craft markets.
10. Star Flower Quilt - Need to sew two more rows together and add borders, I think the border pieces are what's putting me off finishing this one but it's been languishing for a while and I know I will enjoy quilting it.
11. Butterfly Quilt - my lovely Bee A Brit Stingy friends have made some gorgeous butterfly blocks for my middle daughter's quilt. I need to make an Alice Brooks one and some applique flower blocks. Since I have no idea how I will quilt it (maybe by hand?) it may not get done this quarter but hey I'll chuck it on the list just in case!
12. Thread catcher - I've got some cute Japanese linen scraps that should be put to use

And I have good reason to get that one done because the theme for this month at le challenge is 'The Rising Sun'. Originally the theme was inspired by Japan but could equally be interpreted as the new year, the sun or anything that you think of! The blog has had a revamp too so end over to le challenge, follow us for inspiration and link up 'the Rising Sun' projects on 15th February for a chance to win a $25 gift certificate to the Fat Quarter Shop.

stitching and beeing
I've finally started my S is for Stitch blocks and trying to catch up with the ABC BOW, they are on 'O' now. Although I will probably try to overtake them since it's going to be for a baby due late this month.
I've had issues with my bee blocks from December. I actually finished these Scrap Jar Stars last month and thought I'd posted them but found them today. So sorry Janet, the good news is I'd forgotten the siggy so I did that today and they'll be in the post tomorrow!
I also had endless problems with my Simply Solids bee block, cut some bad snowflakes, then ironed the fusible web to the wrong fabric, then ran out of fusible web. All my silly mistakes, anyway it's done now Jo, I hope you like it!

So here it is, my proper WIP list... not as bad as I thought it might be - I have a lot of projects in my head that I've not starting working on!
Rose Star Quilt - I'm still sewing rows of rose stars, slowly. I haven't got to work on any more but I will need to do that (the pretty green, blue and purple one was done by my lovely friend Nicky!).
Star Flower QAL - All the flowers sewn, hexies cut so need to get them put together.
How Far Will You Go QAL - Sewing the binding on.
Pattern testing - two more rows to sew!
Stitcheries - making progress
Shush ABC BOW - I had this cute panel that my auntie gave me and I decided to join in stitching a letter a week. As it happens one of my best friends is pregnant again so I think this will make a cute baby quilt for her son!
I'm planning on picking out whatever detail I like in each picture and doing any stitch takes my fancy! I'm using perle thread and I think it will give a nice texture to the quilt. I don't have the book for the BOW (though I've heard there will be a giveaway at Shush - I'm Quilting) and no spare cash (*** edit I just won a copy from the publishers!!! What are the chances?! The universe clearly knew I should be joining in properly! Enter to get yours at Shush!) so it makes sense to use what I have I will still be using the one I have and doing the book version too - they are making gorgeous stitchings so it's worth taking a look at what everyone else is doing!
I'm having a lot of fun with all these projects and am currently plotting my THRILLER make for Le Challenge, I'm really excited about this one!
Then there's these cute girlies, having more cardboard fun with the best toy, a box.
