Those of you who already follow me know I'm the EXTREME list maker....like HUGE lists.
And I invariably get distracted by the shiny and end up making a bunch of stuff that wasn't even on my list. (Squirrel!)
It's class play season, so I expect that to be the norm again. I haven't designed the costumes yet, so I have no idea what I'll be sewing/knitting for the show in February. Oh, for those of you who are new, I write, direct, produce, yada yada, a class play for about 30 kids a year. I have about a month to pull it all together. Then I collapse in a heap and eat bon bons. (I wish.)
For the new folk, here's a quick low down on me:
I'm a teacher in Atlanta. I live with a lovely husband, a slightly moth eaten looking tuxedo cat, and a super lovey now deaf cocker spaniel.
I'm more than a tad obsessive compulsive/ADHD.
I make quilts. I pretend I don't sew garments, but I am still trying to learn. I have two patterns I tend to make A LOT.
I sew quilts for Hospice, on my own and with the Serenity Circle from do.good.stitches. It's my way of honoring the legacy of my grandmother, who used to knit and sew for charity.
I tend to be addicted to quilt alongs. Maybe some day I'll run one myself.
I'm a geek. I love Doctor Who, Orphan Black, Dirk Gently, Star Trek (in all forms, old and new), and Star Wars (with a few of the new trilogy that I still refuse to make eye contact with).
Cotton and Steel is my spirit animal. (You are bound to see a bunch of it in my quilts.)
Without further ado, the list of crazy. A bunch of these are BOMs. I know I can't likely finish them this quarter, but I want to keep them on my radar. (The sad thing is this isn't my entire WIP list.)

Now that is quite a list. Holy Moly!! Good luck with your finishes.
Now that's what I call a list!!
OH MY GOSH.....you are the Queen of List Making for sure! GOOD LUCK!! XO
My goodness - you weren't kidding when you said your list was going to be long!! Can't wait to see how much progress you get to make over the next quarter! Good luck with everything!
That's not a short stack, that's for sure! Good Luck. I especially love Tangential quilt. Thank you for participating in the FAL, on behalf of the 2017 global FAL hosts
Love your round robin improv, what a list!
Holy smokes - what a list! I'm cracking up at your serger comment - I have a DVD but I can't thread mine either 😛. Good luck!
You weren't lying your list is LONG! Mine is probably just as long I just refuse to put it all in one place! LOL You can totally knock a few of these off the list this quarter.
I don't think I can count as high as your list! Honestly, I always enjoy seeing your list because you list things I've never heard of or give me new ideas. Can't wait to see what you finish.
Wow .... and I thought my lists were long - you are the Queen of Lists. You also have some fantastic looking projects on your list. Good luck!!
I love that some of your projects just have numbers -- unfinished project #47 -- HAHAHHA. at least I know you will have plenty to keep you buys at stash bash in a few short months.
