Finish Along Q4 Goals

Lots of goals to reach before the end of the year which will require some serious sewing time in the sewing room. I've included a couple of carry-overs from the last quarter: (those in red are the top priorities)

1. Country Bride Quilt - Yep! She still needs to go to the quilter's.This is a carry over from last quarter. Actually, she is a carry over from 1997! 




2. Triple Four-Patch - has not come back from the long-arm quilter yet but will be done before the end of the year for sure.


3. Neutral Jelly Roll Quilt - prepped and ready to be quilted. If time allows, I may actually get this one done!




4. Twirly Triangles a.k.a. Not A Cross Word - top is completed. Not sure how I want it quilted yet but I am happy to have the top done even if it does not count as a finish here. Not a top priority but maybe I'll get lucky and find the time to finish.


5. Table Runners -  are quilted and ready for their bindings. It is always good to have a few of these ready for quick finishes and for handwork in the evenings.The first two are ready for binding. 





6. Reversible dress - I really must finish this before my darling grand-daughter outgrows the pattern! And of course, I have to make another for her American Girl doll!


7. Leah Day's Butterfly/Umbrella quilt - still working on my skills for this one but hope to have it done. It is still in chunks here on the design wall. 



8. Christmas Celebration Tree Skirt - my first effort in paper piecing. Pattern by Judy Neimeyer. An awesome experience. I would love to try another!  Soft colors because our tree decorated in white and gold with ornaments from Margaret Furlong.



9. Silly Goose Quilt Mystery 2015 -  Most likely will not get this one quilted but hope to have the top completed before 2016. I'm lovin' the colors I chose for this mystery quilt.




10. Going to Grandma's - presently in pieces with a few blocks completed.



11. Grand Illusion - So many of these were made from Bonnie Hunter's mystery 2014. My goal is to get the top completed at least - hopefully with enough time to get it to the machine quilter. I have a way to go yet as you can see.




12. Sage Butter Quilt - making for oldest daughter. Changing the colors from green and brown to red and brown.


13. Ohio State Christmas Quilt - recently purchased this kit. So cute! 


14. Garman's Medallion - plugging along on this challenging quilt. Hope to have all the Lemoyne stars completed and possibly set in before the end of the year.



I always seem to plan more than I can possibly accomplish but maybe I'll get lucky and actually do it!
