1. (Q3 2015) I'm making a low-volume and turquoise version of a scrappy trip around the world quilt and I've made all fifty-six needed. Here are twenty-four of them (I can't lay them all out until the Christmas tree has gone away):
2. (Q2 2016) I have been planning this quilt since at least 2013 and would like to at least make a start on prepping blocks. (I've been saying that for a while...) I have a range of backgrounds and some gorgeous Oakshott (Scandinavian, I think). The block pattern is in the photo and I've already completed a test block.
3. (Q2 2016) This needs layering and pinning ready for quilting, once I've bought the wadding, pieced the backing and decided how I'm going to quilt it. I doubt I'll make progress on this for quite a while, but once a project is on my FAL list, it stays on until it's either finished or officially abandoned! (No, they're not two different colours of background, it's just the difference between pieced/unpieced and straight/bias - you don't see it in real life.)
4. (Q4 2016) I'm going to turn this pink pin cord into a round neck pinafore version of the Kate dress:
5. (Q4 2016) This rather 80s winter sports print (it really could be from then as it came out of someone's loft!) is going to become a version of the Kate dress or Dress No. 2, possibly with a v neck and long/elbow length sleeves.
6. (Q2 2017) This is going to become a Kate dress (or dress No. 2):
8. (Q2 2017) Winterkist quilt - needs the rows joining into blocks:
9. (Q2 2017) This Italian lawn is going to become a top version of the Kate dress or a shirt no.1, depending on how I feel when I lay it on the sewing table:
10.
(Q4 2017) The pinafore I made last year needs a lining (it needs a slip under it, but the armholes are too low for the slips I have, so a lining it is):11. (Q4 2018) Jeans: I’ve tacked together the legs and a trial yoke and waistband and had a fitting. I’m now unpicking all that so I can start sewing them together properly once I’ve cut out all the pieces.
For the fourth quarter running
, I haven't added a new item to the list!!! (Mind, I haven’t crossed anything off it, either!) I'm definitely still a member of the #RidiculouslyLongFALList gang because there's no way I'm finishing all these things in a mere three months!
Mini Archie is, as ever, keeping a close eye on me: |
I can sit all cosy on the radiator because mine to do list is short and snappy. When yours is, I shall budge up and make room for your chilly bahoukie. |
Oh, what a lovely offer from, MA. Sadly my bahoukie is NEVER going to make it to that radiator. Hope yours does make it soon!!! Good job reducing your list of projects. Looking forward to seeing what you complete and the progress made in 2021!
ReplyDeleteI fear mine may not make it there this year, to be honest, but I’m going to try!
DeleteGo for it! The gang here has pompoms at the ready to celebrate any successful milestones if you need friendly encouragement!!! Good luck!
