Finish Along Quarter 1 2020

It's another year of the Finish Along. And whilst the format has changed slightly to make it more Instagram focused, I've decided to still post a list on my blog as a way of keeping myself accountable and recording my finishes!

So firstly I have a few carryover items:

Joshua's advent calendar: I got this started but not finished and it wasn't missed this year but I think it will be next year when his Lordship is nearly 2. So I'm posting it here in Q1 in an effort to finish it early and not at the last minute I'm not going to promise that it won't appear on Q2, Q3 and Q4 as well though!


And the same thoughts about Joshua's Santa Sack - though I did pick up a great fabric in the post-Christmas sales for this, so his will be different (and a little less pink) than the girls. Again, expect to see this on Q2, Q3 and Q4 - I'll probably not start it until December 2020.... but you never know!

Item three is the Sisterhood Quilt block I made on retreat last October - I have tote-based plans for this and I've bought an alphabet pattern to hep with the reverse. I've also got plans for a second tote bag in mostly blues, using the same alphabet pattern.


My Fancy Forest quilt is getting closer and closer to the finish line. It's now basted and ready for quilting.
  

I finished a Preppy the Whale quilt last year and now I need to make two matching cushions. I really just need to get these done as it's been hanging around too long.

A baby quilt - 2020 is going to be heavy on baby quilts! This one is an Awesome Ocean one as I enjoyed making the full size one so much! And the recipient's big sister needs a matching cushion I think!

I made some tubs at Christmas out of batiks... and not-so-subtle hints were dropped. So I need to make another set.


And while I'm at it, some tubs for hair bobbles would be a good idea too... they end up all over the house!

I started a Unicorn embroidery for Mia last year. It needs finishing.

I also started a Tall Tales quilt for Mia last year. That too needs finishing...


I have a Meadowland quilt all cut out - I thought it would be a quick make, That was a year ago. There's a new quilt-along kicking off in February so I'm planning on joining in and finishing this. It's in all Pinkerville by Tula Pink and I love it!

I would also like to finish the Sharks Dinner block of the month I followed last year, but there's a lot of work still to do on this one, so maybe I'll settle for some progress.



The blueberry park hexies, started two years ago, were a project I was surprised to pick up again just after Christmas. But I've run with it and now I'm pretty close to a fairly sizeable quilt top.


Mandolin: an EPP quilt top. There's also quite a lot of work to go on this before it's finished, but already this year I've prepped the remaining five blocks, so that's progress.



Tula Nova: this needs quilting and for some reason it's just not calling me. February will be two years since I started this quilt and it holds so many memories...



City Sampler... that quillt I started nearly 7 years ago....



Skirt Pouch... from a skirt...for a friend. The fabrics scares me a bit!

Placemats - pink and linen I think. For a wedding present.

Kinship rainbow, which is a quilt top, but not yet basted, and I don't know what to put on the back yet.


Crumb quilt: another quilt top, but I do know what I'm backing this one with.

Neon City: pulling out the oldies here - this was my quilt from #100days100blocks the first time round.... it's a pile of blocks and a pile of sashing - I got stuck at my favourite part...



"Love" hot water bottle cover. I need a new hot water bottle cover... obviously. I also need to do something with the Love block I made recently.


Not a bad list! Twenty-four items, and a good mix of the maybe and the unrealistic!

Hidden Agenda [A Finish]

This is very possibly my favourite ever finish - I know I've said that in the past, but this one is going to be hard to beat. This time last year, I attended a day long lecture/workshop with Tula Pink and it was inspiring. Having not really loved her fabrics in the past (but loved her patterns), I suddenly saw them in a new light, linked with my 2018 new year's resolution to try more fussy cutting). Fast forward 8 months and I confess that my Tula stash has expanded quite a lot. I found some UK shops with older ranges of fabric, splurged on a few destashes and found the odd piece of her fabric already in my stash. The plan was always (and remains) to make a Smitten quilt, but I'm well aware that I have plenty of fabric to make other projects as well! So when I saw the Hidden Agenda quilt pattern by Angela Pingle, this fabric sprung instantly to mind.... and we all know I love a rainbow! And what could be better than rainbowfied Tula? I was ably assisted by my friend Ti

365 Quilt Challenge 2016 [A finish]

I can't believe I've just typed that heading! When I made the block for January 1st 2016 I could not have imagined the journey this quilt would have taken me on. So make yourselves comfortable and grab a cup of tea, because this blog post may get lengthy! I'd seen the 365 Quilt Challenge on Facebook. I think every quilter on Facebook must have been aware of it. Loads of my friends had signed up and it kept popping up as a "Page you might like" thing. In the end, in November 2015, I joined the group, had a poke round. Decided it wasn't for me. One of the things that really put me off were the fabric requirements: you needed x amount of dark dark fabric, x amount of medium dark fabric, x amount of dark medium, medium, light medium, light, background.... I just couldn't get my head round those requirements. I'd looked at the mock ups on the wesbite and couldn't bring myself to pick a colour. I put it to the back of my mind. But I had obvious

All the Little Finishes

 I've had a few recent finishes - mostly smaller pieces and mostly not on my list to finish this year (because I've only just started them!) - lots and lots of pouches! Here's a round up... Three pouches I made for the kids for our holiday - all are the Seamingly Sane Pouch pattern, but I used the pattern add-on to adjust the sizes and customised with some straps and in one case, a pocket. These three pouches are made for our work Yubikeys when we travel to protect them - it's a slightly adjusted Aneela Hooey pattern - the peas are an inside joke! I knew I had pea fabric for a reason! A couple more Seamingly Sane pouches - the smaller one was a birthday present for my Dad, and the floral one was for me to protect my diary when I travel. Seven pouches made entirely from my scraps to hold EPP pieces pre sewing! This is the Peekapouch pattern by Sweet Cinnamon Roses. This is the Not So Little Zippy Pouch by Fabric and Flowers. The pattern is a bit of a challenge, but this
