I would like to do a quilt for my sister and my two SILs. Plus I have quilts planned for my daughters and their husbands, but that is another long story, and not a good one.
I have a bed runner planned for our bed, and a couple of kits to work on.

Do you have a list of quilt's you'd like to make in 2014?
I try to write them down which in some fashion makes me feel a further commitment to them (not to mention a gentle reminder!)
These are mine - and I know there are some that will pop up that I've not planned for but here's the one's I know of, not necessarily in this order either lol :
1. Dinosaur Stomp Chomp & Roar (for GS and his move to a big bed)
2. Bali Wedding Star - everything's purchased!
3. Seminole Sampler
4. Carpenter's Star
5. Carpenter's Square
6. Another J.Michelle Watts quilt (haven't fully decided on which yet)
7. Spanish Tiles
8. I have 2 wallhangings to get done (applique)
What's on your list?

I want to aim to make a quilt top a month for myself, I have given away so many quilts that have none for me!

After finishing may dd bom from the quilt show, will do a lonestar for my son and new daughter-in-law who live in Houston. Hope to finish 4 tops I have done. I am retiring May 30 after 32 years as an RN. So I don't sit around much I plan to
1. Sleep in until 7 am
2. Look at my Ipad. (We got rid of cable) while i drink a cup of coffee.
3. Go for a walk or ride my bike and sit by the bay
4. Quilt for 2-3 hours. Too much longer makes my shoulders ache.
5. Unfortunately will have to fix dinner. Husband does it now (he's not ready to retire).
6. Watch some shows on my ipad streamed to the tv.
7. In bed by 10.

I only have one project that I want to make so far this year. I want to make the big star quilt that is demonstrated by Jenny Doan in this video for Missouri Star Quilting Company: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tkm3n...ature=g-high-u
I'm going to use a variety of colors from the Mirage fabric line from Connecting Threads.

Yes! I need to finish a couple of projects and then I have 3 I want to do..."Santa's Rising Sun", A norwegian quilt I saw in BH&G magazine and an applique that I do have all cut out. I have spent the last couple of weeks cleaning out my sewing room and just checking to see what I need to do to get it all under control. I am not sure it is possible but I am giving it a good try!

I want to make table toppers for my table for holidays, i.e. Valentines, St Patrick, 4th of July, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. I made toppers last year for each season, now to get started on the holiday ones

1) Finish the queen sized quilt top (needs borders), sandwich and quilt it....3+ years WIP
2) Sandwich and quilt the 20+ tops I have made over the past 10 years or so...I HATE to sandwich and quilt.
3) Use up all my scraps before I purchase more fabric.
4) Possibly sell some of my quilt books (I have around 300) and patterns that I will never use.

I have so much to make or rather I want to make it is mind boggeling. I just went to a big store shopping in Phx and bought some fabric and patterns. I ordered that Hunter's star ruler on line that is suppose to help out a lot. So much i want to do and don't want to clean house or cook.
