I hope to get some Christmas tissue covers made, and little quilted baskets. A flannel quilt for our youngest son for Christmas of 2014. I like your idea of getting a calendar out. I think when a person rights it down, it is much more likely to happen.

I vowed not to get caught up in the last minute sewing rush again. I am just finishing up some wool applique ornaments . I sat sunday afternoon and decided what I want to make for everyone and made a notebook with all the patterns. I refuse to start any other projects. I tend to get caught up downloading to many free patterns and never making them. that is stopping also. keeping my nose to the grind stone this year.

I guess I'd better take my tree down. Or maybe have some hot cocoa while looking at my tree and make my project list. My life has been so crazy I haven't had time to enjoy my tree yet. The season of epiphany goes till March 4th, so I figure I'm still ok. I do need to get some things done so I have hand sewing for the evenings. I have a crochet project going at work during lunch break. I hadn't thought about doing pillowcases, thanks for that idea.

Our church group always begins their Christmas quilt in January. I suggested a wall hanging. I saw a cute one - perhaps on this board? But now I need to learn applique. Another 'learning' year. Will be snowmen, mittens, gifts, bells, Christmas lights, stockings, ornaments, Trees and possibly reindeer. There are many different ways to do applique. Any suggestions? thanks

I, also, have thought long and hard about 2014 Christmas. But, we did a major remodel last year (kitchen, 2 baths, FL room, & hardwood in all areas except kitchen & bath). So my quilting time was very interrupted to say the least. Consequently, I need to quilt & bind 4 bed quilts I made last year. I felt really good to even have gotten them cut out and pieced. Once they are finished I'll start on 2014. I like the idea of a calendar, though. This year is my " organize your life" year. I work much better when I can be organized.
