Mine I hope to get done:
1. 2-pillow quilts
2. 1-baby quilt
3. 1-quilt made from bandana's - (I am having problems, I need to cut these down to equal sizes, found they aren't all the same size, and I can't find the template material big enough, but I need to see through it so I can make sure I am not cutting the design off, any suggestions would be welcome in what I can use)
4. 1-baby wall hanging
(then I have other things I am making but not quilting)
5. 1-finish the baby blanket cross stitch for new grandbaby due New Years Eve
6. 1- cross stitch baby pillow to go with the blanket
7. 1-flannel pair of lounge pants
8. 1- Needle punch stocking
9. 1- Cross stitch stocking
10. 1- baby nursing cover
11. As many baby bibs as I can make, need to find a simple but quilt looking pattern for these, don't have one.
Heaven knows if I can find the time to do these, but I do have good intentions.

It is real easy to make and if I recall it only took me 1/2 hour to make. I picked up the D rings at WalMart.
This site also has other baby items you can make too.
Have a great day!

That's an ambitious list. It's well to have goals. Just so you won't get frazzled near the end, maybe it might be well to prioritize and finish those first, in case things come up that you can't finish them ALL. Speaking from experience!

Hi there, Buddysmimi here. I read in your note that you are a PL blanketeer. Me too. I've been one since 2000. I do so love to make them.
Just checked back on your picture and discovered that you were from Ireland. awesome. My maiden name is Corry. I've heard through the grapevine that there is an awful lot of Irish in me as well.
Anyway, if there is ever anything I can do in the way of supplies etc., please let me know, ok?
I live in central Illinios, USA., and am fortunate enough to have the National President and Vice President within an our of me. We are a very active group in central Il. We pass out on an average of 450 quilts and afghans a month. I can remember the day and time I finished my 450th quilt and it was so humbling. I had worked for over 4 years to make enough quilts that would be passed out in one month. It certainly takes all of us to meet the demand doesn't it? Well, I had better let you go. Just wanted to say hi to another blanketeer and let you know you are appreciated!! Have a great day.

Lacelady, I was talking to you, sorry about that. I only meant to talk to you, haven't done this too often. Not that I wouldn't talk to everybody, so don't take me wrong gals. I just get all excited when I find another Project Linus blanketeer out there!

Well, I do not have Christmas things as such to make, but I do have a fairly large Log Cabin top that I have promised myself I would give to Jim for Christmas. Does that count? I am also working on a little quilt for my cat, and my Queen sized bed quilt "Danbury". I am hand quilting all of them and it does take a great deal of time, but I LOVE the feeling I get from doing it myself.
Hey a fountain of "extra time". I would love to have one of those, or maybe two. One for each foot.
You know, this almost sounds like the UFO challenge we had last Sept. But these are not UFO's right? These are all things you plan to start and finish by Christmas???
