2012 Goals

For several weeks I've been thinking about what I want to accomplish in 2012. I really want to get the quilt tops in my closet quilted and I want to finish the projects that are just laying around. I'm not saying I won't start any new projects because I know I will. In no particular order:

I want to add a red border to this panel and scallop the edges. I have never did scalloped edges but I think it will be slow sewing.

I also want to do something with this panel.

I want to finish my hexagon quilt but first I have to take it apart.

Be Attitudes - finish Oct, Nov and Dec blocks.

Boot Bash - finish Aug, Sept, Oct, Nov and Dec blocks on mine and Lacy's quilts.

Quilt the following quilts

• Aqua 10 Minute block quilt
• Kites
• Pretty 'n Pink
• Sunbonnet Sue
• Lazy Hearts 
• Ribbit

Things That I Love - need about 100 more blocks
Trains - I have no idea how many more blocks I need but I think about 30

As slow as I am that should keep me busy next year.

Happy New Year!

Boot Bash July BOM

Finally got the July boots done. This quilt is going to be so cute hanging on my wall. lol

Happy quilting!

Boot Bash June BOM

Molly had a flag on her June block but I haven't decided if I want a flag yet. I can always go back and add it. For some reason I didn't take a photo of my boo by it's self.

Here is Lacy's boot.

Both boots.

You know I sewed the six boots together. I couldn't help myself.

My boots

Lacy's boots

I think these quilts are going to be fantastic.

All BOM blocks for the month of June are DONE!!!

Happy quilting!

Yesterday

Yesterday I got busy getting all my BOMs prepped for applique'. I was nearly finished with the May and June Be Attitude blocks. So I will be applique'ing for the next few days getting these finished.

Here are my blocks all fused and ready to be appliqued.

Did you really think I was going to show you 5 unfinished blocks? lol

Happy quilting!

Boot Bash May BOM

Every month I think "This is my favorite boot." I love these boots! I have so much fun applique'ing my boots.

Here are all my boots.

And Lacy's boots.

Happy quilting!

Boot Bash April BOM

Molly did a great job with this pattern, I love the barbed wire fence in back of the boots. I haven't decided about sashing yet. I used some flannel for part of the boot that Betsy gave. I had never used flannel in applique' but I had no problems and will use it again.

Boot Bash March BOM

I finally got March's boots done. I feel like I'm running behind schedule this month and I don't know why. Here is Lacy's block.

And here are the 3 I have finished.

My March block is just like Lacy's only on a different color background.

And my three blocks.

Isn't the little bird too cute!

Happy quilting!

Jan Boot Bash BOM

Molly is doing Boot Bash BOM. Molly talked about this BOM last year and I couldn't hardly wait for her to start it. Well, when I told Lacy about it, she wanted a Boot Bash quilt also. Lacy did great choosing her fabrics for the January boot. I may let her start choosing my fabrics.

And my boot.

Happy quilting!
