Quarter 1, FAL 2015

Ok...so 2015 is going to continue in my long line of crazy lists.  This year will be a year of using up scraps and stash.  Which isn't to say I won't add to it....cotton + steel, I'm looking at you.  I know I've got some Doe headed my way as a Christmas present.  I know I won't finish this the first quarter, but I also don't know which WIPs/dream quilts/knitting will strike my fancy, so I'm throwing it all up online.  Something will stick.  First up is getting the knitting organized and getting rid of some scraps.  I'm starting scrap wrangling this weekend while I'm waiting for a yarn swift to get here.

ALYOF Jan 2015 goal

First one out of the gate for 2015.

Since I have a crapload of knitting projects, mostly socks, in mind for 2015, I'm going to set as my goal making my first 12 set of knitting project bags.  My mystery sock KAL yarn will go in those.

Here's my fabric choices:





Let the games begin!  (I'm waiting on a swift to start the winding fest!)

ALYOF Dec goal complete!

I was trying to be not too hard on myself by finishing the Classic version of my Acacia quilt.

I did it!  It still needs a washing, but the washer isn't free yet.







I also finished the Modern version:






Not sure which one I like best.  I may wait for a verdict for post washing.  Linking up!

Also, my class play is mostly done.  I have dancing ninjas, fairies, etc.  So much fun!  I still have to decide on a magic object.  One that can be carried.  Any suggestions welcome.

ALYOF Dec goal

I'm going to make my goal to finish my Classic Acacia quilt.



Classic block on the left.  Modern on the right.  I'll have 12 of each when I'm done with Dec's blocks.  I'm thinking 2 smaller quilts.  Maybe for babies/small people.

Ideally, I'll finish both quilts, but I'm not going to make myself crazy, since I also have two more swap items to finish in there and a play to write for my class.

ALYOF Nov finish

I set as my November goal finishing my Starbright top.

Well, it was a bear, but, not only did I finish assembling the top, but I also basted, quilted, and bound it!

Part of the frustration was my spatial stuff.  I get spatial positioning reversed A LOT, and the seam ripper and I were friends.  Enough so, that I think I need to ask Santa for a new one.  My old ones are kind of dull.

The other problem was my walking foot.  It started sticking.  I should note that I've actually worn out one foot.  Part of the problem on this was that, I think, it needed oiling.  Add to that problem that I hit the needle position dial at some point (a while ago), and shifted the needle too far over to the right.  This has led to a bur or two on some feet.  Duh that I didn't realize it.  Duh that I took the machine in for servicing because I couldn't figure that one out.  Oh well.  It's clean now and working well.  I need to replace a few feet, though.

Guess it's a good thing Christmas is coming.

Anyway, TA DA...... the quilt!







I've finished a bunch of projects this month.

I completed my Donut quilt:





I ended up making my silence block into a mini rather than a journal, as the block was bigger than I thought it was going to be:




That got added to the package for my #makeadalekmakeafriend swap.  BEST. SWAP. EVER.


and got this:


So. LOVE.


I also finished my mini for the Dec guild swap:


a laptop sleeve for my hub's ginormous work laptop:

The scarf for my mom:


some yodas for triplets:



 a dalek:


...and some potholders to add to the tea towels I'm mailing for for Christmas this month.



Phew.

ALYOF Nov Goal

Time to set a goal for November.  I want to finish my Starbright top.






It's actually further along than this.  I have about 5 out of 8 sections done.

Ideally, I would also baste, quilt, and bind it, but I'm just putting the top assembly on my list.  I'm slow at it.  I've had to seam rip a bunch of times.  I'm afraid if I don't finish it this month, it will end up on my WIP pile.


Linking up!
