It's been a while since I posted about my current project list. In fact, since last time, I've actually managed to finish
most of what I was working on. So I've made a new list. I'm hoping I can finish most of these in the next couple of weeks. That might be too ambitious, but time will tell.
1.
Orange Sherbert - I'm about halfway done quilting this right now. It will be my TV watching quilt when the cooler weather comes. I'm using a new pantograph that's a bit more intensive than those I've done in the past, but I'm really liking the design.
(Completed 9/11/11.)

2. Pillowcases - I've been wanting to make more pillowcases to donate for a while now. I even had all the fabric set aside. I'm actually hoping to finish these tomorrow. They go together really quickly with my serger.
(Completed 9/9/11.)

3.
Cindy Lou Who - This is a Schnibbles quilt I'm making using
Odyssea (an older fabric line). The pieces are all cut and arranged, I just need to start sewing! I'm looking forward to putting this one together...
(Completed 10/27/11.)

4. Dresden Plate Table Topper - This table topper requires 3 large Dresden Plates (plus another for the label). I've made one and have the pieces ordered for the rest of them. I'm still not sure how I'm going to attach them to my background, so all suggestions are welcome!

5. Dresden Plate Wall Hanging - The table topper above uses the light fabrics from
Nature's Gift by Deb Strain, while the wall hanging I have planned uses the darks. This will hang in my kitchen come Christmas (assuming it's done). It has 4 full Dresden Plates on the front (plus one for the label) and 8 half Dresden Plates in the border. Again, all the pieces have been put in order and are just waiting for me to find the time to sew them together...

6.
Winter Wonderland - The center of this quilt is done and I'm still working on the star blocks in the border. I have half of them made and would really like to finish the other half so I can lay it out. My mom's version turned out so gorgeous that I can't wait to put mine together...

So I'm wondering, am I the only one who works on so many projects at the same time? I hope not. And truthfully, these aren't all of them. I have a couple more in the design stage and I'm waiting on a king size quilt kit to come in the mail. Oh, and we've decided to start our bedroom renovation in a couple of weeks, so I've been meeting with carpet guys and shutter people and buying furniture as well.
Hmm, I think I'm getting tired now so I'll stop and head off to bed. But before I go, I wanted to show this picture of David I took tonight. I was
trying to iron some fabric I just washed and he absolutely wouldn't get off. In fact, he ended up biting me - which I will not tolerate - so he found himself on the floor and subsequently chased out of the room by the dog.

Until later...
The one who plants and the one who waters work together with the same purpose. And both will be rewarded for their own hard work.
