Back in August, I posted a WIP list when I felt overwhelmed with all my works in progress, and to be honest, I'm feeling that way again! Happily, I DID finish several of those projects from the August list:
38" x 33" :: August
60" x 72" :: September
64" x 64" :: October
And besides also making bee blocks and responses to the Block Studies Collective prompt last month, I snuck in another scrappy little quilt.
16" x 23" :: September
Two other projects on that list I think I've officially set aside as maybe's - things I'd like to revisit but who knows when. They aren't top priority - bird blocks from the Inspired by Nature workshop with Vicky Conley @vicki_conley_are_and_design and the Patchwork City quilt blocks I was hoping to continue with the Tula Pink fabric I got off the free table at a guild meeting. So don't be surprised if either of those pop up again, but I doubt it'll be yet this year.
So I'm not feeling bad about what I've accomplished, just overwhelmed by what I'm facing right now. Thus the current WIP list, two of the projects being carryovers from the August list, and a couple of new ones.
1. Advent Parament - New to the to-do list, this one will basically be made from repurposed jeans, has a deadline in a couple of weeks AND will involve some hand-stitching. I kind of have a vision in my mind, but am figuring it out as I go,
2. BOM with Seattle MQG - I've got a quilt top and a quilt back I love, just need to get to basting and quilting!
3. The Kitchen Quilt - All the basic blocks - AND the kitchen - are done. This one will need a cleared off design wall to puzzle it together.
4. Diamond Strings - Sadly the blocks got set aside, and I'll be happy to get back to them and maybe see the bottom of that scrap basket?
So that feels like a lot, especially because I also have bee blocks and BSC prompts to keep up on, as well as a handmade gift or two. One day at a time, right? I'm really hoping to have #1 and #2 finished by the end of the month, but we will see....
