The wedding dress - we have decided on a pattern (this involved a lot of trying on existing dresses and choosing a style, etc.), purchased the fabric, and I am at the point of making a mock-up to be sure it will fit. (I always have to alter some part of a pattern for this child. Oh, to have her problem of skinny hips!)
The wedding quilt - Fabric is collected. In September, she and I will spend a weekend together to cut out pieces for it.
So I am behind on these goals. ( I have made a quilt for my other daughter in the meantime. She needed a 'hug' to take to college, instead of her baby blanket. She was hiding the baby blanket in her pillow case.)
:lol: Someday I will learn to set goals and work single-mindedly toward them. But where is the fun in that?! :roll:

I made a wedding quilt for my daughter and was pleased to give it to her on their first anniversary!
Hang in there!

I just found this thread but I like the idea. My list of stuff to do changes almost as often as seeing a new idea. I do have several on my list to finish asap so I can start Christmas projects.
I hope you do this next year. I might try keeping track of all I do and don't get done.

Finish my swap partners quilts/table runner.
Start and complete the Watermelon quilt kit I bought a month ago.
Complete my DD's quilt even though she says she has changed her mind about the fabric after I spent $200.00 on fabric she picked out. Oh well, If she doesn't want it, I like it enough I will keep it.
Finish 1 dozen little dresses for Africa.
Finish 1 dozen pillowcases for the pillowcase challenge.
Get my dadburn digital camera fixed so I can take pictures of my completed projects!

Is there an organization that you send the dresses to? What a kind and wonderful thing to do!

Well...you all saw the big sampler top is finished....I'm still trying to fenagle the flannel for the backing. It's going to be August before I can possibly get it basted....I am not happy.
I cut all the pieces for the Sudoku quilt for the neighbor girl. I cut all the strips needed for her brother's D9P, but I'm one strip short of being able to piece it...gotta go to walmart this weekend.
UGH!!!
I did pick some patterns for the table runners that I want to make...does that count as progress?

Sorta strange-one place I make pillowcases from scratch and the other I buy them and cut up and sew. Go figure.

Where has 2010 gone? It's almost October already!
Progress Report time!
Here was my list for this year:
1. Finish the 3 D9P's for my boys.
2. Make 2 small quilts for sibling of quilt recipient.
3. Focus quilt for this year is a 25 block sampler quilt for my wedding anniversary. This year we will be married 10 years. We never received a wedding quilt and I'd love to make one just for us. The blocks are picked, many triangle blocks, YIKES!, but with perseverance I can do it.
4. Twin size quilt for my ill friend. She asked, in lieu of a wheelchair quilt or hospital bed quilt, if I would make her infant on a blanket he can take to college since she knows she won't be able to do it for him. I agreed, but I want to make her a hospice quilt anyway.
I finished the 3 D9P's in January and the boys love them and have used them all year.
I am almost half way done hand quilting the blocks on my 25 block sampler. I hope to have as much of the sashing done as possible before D-Day (12.08.10)
The two little quilts for neighbor/friend's kids, one is a patriotic Soduku and the other a race car D9P. Both in piecing stages. All strips cut. 4 of the 9 blocks for patriotic are done. All the strips for D9P cut and sewn, and cross cut. Assembling 9 patches now. Probably won't be done in time for Christmas.
I'm going to hold off on tablerunners until next year. I really need to bite the bullet and just buy a tablerunner book. I've spent so many hours pouring over all my freebie patterns just to find one that has tablerunner measurements...none of them do. I have one magazine that highlights tablerunners and using those strips you buy, boli pops, noodles, jelly rolls etc. I want to make some table runners out of that.
My friend's quilts. I want all 3 of the kids to get a blanket. My friend is doing amazingly well and could have years left, so I'm no longer in a rush to get those quilts done.
My 9 year old volunteered me to make two baby quilts for his expecting teachers this year...this year is 2010-2011...definitely not for 2010.
How are you all doing? Life really got in the way for me this year. I want to see your updates!
