Mid-Summer 2011 Summer Projects Check-in and WIP Wednesday 8.10.11

Did I say that I love lists?
Yep - love them.
I had to resist some awesome fun things going on around me.  Although throw a bee at me, mug rug swap, or another bloody QAL - and I'm in.

Right - where was I . . . 
yes - lists rock!  

 I made this list while it didn't feel like summer.  That was a whole 3 months ago. . pfft.  At the time these felt like very reasonable goals.  Especially when I don't have my 11-year old stepdaughter and I have all the time in the world.
NOT
I did join in Fairy face Design's Summer Sewing Plans.
I posted about it HERE

Here's a recap of how I've progressed through my list:

1. Dresden Plate fabric for bee.  Uhhh not sure right now.

2. Finish {Modern 12} quilt top. . nope still hanging on my design board

3. Sliced Coins QAL quilt top .. nope still in a neat cute pile

4. Knitted sweater for a gf's baby girl. . . no but I've looked at it a few times.

5. Summer top for me. . nope

6. PJ Pants for fella. . lalalala I can't hear you.  {That's a no}

Ice Cream Dress Back7. Summer Dress for gf's baby girl . . YES!  See my previous posts here or here
Ohhhh Pretty dress!




 


8. Postage Stamp Quilt. . don't even want to see this
September - Aqua and Red test block

9. Choose blocks for my remaining bee's.  YES!  I've done most of this. 

I even whipped up a test block for a bee next month.


10. Birdie Sling .. sigh - no

Blocks for "baby" quilt

 
11. Baby quilt . . no but I got 2 blocks worked on.  Yippee!




Wow. . well for only 11 things I've not touched as many as I hoped just 3 months ago.  But this list is grand and does remind me of my WIP's.





How are your summer plans going?

    I love lists too! You're getting there. It's more important to do what makes you happy than to do a project because its on a list.

    That being said, it's Sarah's list and Sarah rocks.

    Ha! This looks like all the lists I make! Sometimes my eyes are bigger than my stomach (or whatever the equivalent saying would be...)

    Your baby quilt blocks are adorable! I have a couple of Hunky Dory UFOs around. Maybe I should add another!
