FAL, My List, Quarter 1, 2017




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.)
