#2023 Planning Party

2022 is nearly over and I, for one will be happy to see the end of it. The last part of the year has been and continues to be difficult for us as a family so I guess it might help to set our eyes to the future. Aside from this, it's not been a very productive year in the craft department either, partly because of the renovation work in the house which has seen major disruptions/ move to most of the rooms for a long while, but I guess partly also because of the lack of energy/ motivation when I finally had some time... at least I have a dedicated sewing area again so that's rather helpful. 


I like to join Yvonne's Planning Party as it helps me think about what I should like to accomplish or most likely finish in the coming year. But before planning for next year, I like to look back at what I had planned for this year...

In 2022, I was hoping to finish 3 quilts (UFO): Super Mario, Flabellum and Impromptu - well I finished the first 2.

I was also hoping to progress some other UFOs which are still at the block stage (Harry Potter, Boho Heart, Gipsy Wife, 365 challenge, Dear Jane) - I worked on 3 projects but didn't progress a lot really
And I was reasonable since I only started one project (Mini Series sew along)

On the dressmaking front, again I was hoping to finish 3 UFO: my Morgan jeans, my Jasika blazer and my Utility Coat - I only finished the last one...


For the accessories, I finished my Remus bag early in January which was good but I still haven't touched the Moonwake bag.

As for the cross-stich, I made great progress both with the Grimm along and the Nutcracker Parade but despite that, they are still a long way off!


Now, let's start planning for 2023
Quilting: 
Finish the Impromptu quilt, the Farmer's Wife and the mini Storm at Sea

Progress the Boho Heart, Harry Potter, Dear Jane and another UFO

Dressmaking:
Finish the Morgan Jeans and the Winter Coat

Make a blouse, 2 jersey dresses, 1 night dress
Make PJ for the girls

Bags, accessories:
Make a new handbag for myself (Moonwake) + 1 for my mum
Make some accessories with my stash of faux leather (pouches, purses etc)

Cross-stitch
Finish 3 more "months" of the Grimm Along and finish the center of the Nutcracker parade

    It sounds like you made great progress on your 2022 goals. I often wonder if I achieve all of my goals if I wasn't ambitious enough in setting them. :) I hope that you have a lot of sewing and crafting joy in 2023!

September in the Hexagon!

Welcome to my stop on the Hexie Blog Hop Be a Hexie Queen ! I am a hexie lover and always have an emergency supply of hexies in my bag for when I am on-the-go (which is actually very often) and when I first signed up for the blog hop, I thought I would show you a EPP (English Paper Piecing) hexie project. That was until I remembered a long forgotten UFO that was laying in a plastic bag in my cupboard. I thought it would be the perfect occasion to get the dist and cobwebs out (no it wasn't that bad really) and give it a new lease of life! It all started with a few scrap strips and ended with a few more strips! I ordered and received a scrap bag of Moda fabric a few years back and I received a pack of off-cuts of Migration by Holly Taylor. I wasn't sure what to do with it until I saw this Hexagon quilt-along on Julie of Jaybird Quilts ' blog that I know I wanted to join in, it was all about hexagons! And although there were machine-pieced, there was no horrible Y

Blog hop and a giveaway

Welcome to my blog if you are new here and found me from the Quilting Gallery website and welcome back if you are a regular reader. I have written a blog for over 2 years now but started quilting about 10 years ago, mainly self-taught. I love fabric and my stash is probably too big for my needs, but can a girl really have TOO MUCH fabric? I don't think so! Michele at the Quilting Gallery is organising a blog hop for the 4th anniversary of her site . If you don't know the quilting gallery yet, you need to hop over there and have a look around, there is plenty to browse at. Every week, there is a themed-contest. Everyone can enter their quilts and everyone can vote on the entries. Well worth having a look at, you can even enter your quilts if they fit the theme. I have entered a few times in the past, but never won! From September until December, 36 designers shared a Christmas block for free in the " Celebrate Christmas Quilt-along ", you can still collect the pat

Ravenbrook Scrap Quilt Along

Image
  Yes I know, another new project... but (!) this one is all about using my scraps, what's not to love. And the instructions come in German for the  Ravenbrook Scrap Quilt Along .  The first 3 blocks are made of rectangles and I used only scraps to make those (I can't really say I have made a dent in my scrap basket either actually...) I picked green as the focus colour for the blocks since this is the January colour for the Rainbow Scraps Challenge organised by Angela I joined the challenge years ago but hadn't participated in recent times. Of course it would be tempting to start yet another project but I think using my scraps for this quilt along in the set colour of the month is a safer plan.
