Happy New Year!

 

Thought I would send you my list of 10! 

 

1. Complete USA redwork quilt (I have the embroidery done)

2. Find a colorway in my fabric stash with the most fabric and design and start a quilt in that color using the stash

3. Find fullest bin in my scrap bins and design and start a quilt using those scraps

4. Find a ruler in my drawer that I have not used and design and start a quilt using that ruler

5. Choose a color scheme that is new to me and design and start a quilt in that color scheme

6. Make a quilt block with a cathedral windows technique (see Today’s Quilter issues from 2024 for reference)

7. Design a medallion quilt for a center flower embroidery

8. Figure out how to machine baste a quilt top for hand big stitching. Complete basting and start the big stitching on one quilt.

9. Declutter quilt supplies and fabrics. Organize and deep clean sewing space

10. Make a square Japanese rice bag with embroidery elements

 

Looking forward to participating! When I first read about your 2024 challenge a couple months ago, I numbered my quilt projects that were cut out, but not sewn and started drawing numbers to find the ‘next one to complete’.  I’ve completed 4 quilts from that so far and just drew another number today!! 🎉🎉🎉 What a fun way to mix things up!

 

Joy,

Kristi
