The great thing about being a list-maker and a quilter, is that there are so many WIP and UFO link-ups to enable your need for lists! So I’m combining a few of them all in together. First up – the must-be-done this month…
1. Stroller/pram quilt – Just gotta finish the binding!

2. Tea For Two quilt – Piece back, baste, quilt, bind.

3. Top Secret Cot Quilt – Baste, quilt, bind.
To be done in February:
4. Baby bibs and bunting (see above quilts for what the fabrics look like!) – The pretty pile of scraps from the Tea For Two and the Top Secret Cot Quilt are to be stitched together and made into bibs and bunting. Hopefully by the 12th of February!
And for this quarter in general…
5. Catch/keep up with my BOMS – I’m a little addicted to BOMs. I’m in the middle of (and a little behind in) the 2012 FQS Designer Mystery BOM and have just signed up for the 2013 one; I’m determined to paper piece the And Sew On… BOM by Kristy; and, I’ve signed up for the free Craftsy 2013 BOM class. Why do I like them? Well, I get loads of great fabric with the FQS Designer Mystery BOM, Kristy’s a fantastic paper piecing designer and her patterns are so easy to use, and the Craftsy BOM is going to teach me some new techniques. And in general? I like being able to have some “on the side” projects to do when I just feel like sewing whatever. Although I must say, with 3 on the go, plus 3 Bees, I’d better be careful to not let them take over all my sewing time! Anyway…
6. Good Fortune quilt – The back is pieced, but this will have to wait until March at the earliest as I don’t have time to quilt it before I leave for Australia next month. Hopefully it’ll be done by the end of March at the latest so there’s still time to use it before summer!

I’m also addicted to BOMs and Quilt and Sew Alongs. I always say no more but then one will catch my eye (sigh).

There are so many cool BOMs this year! I hadn’t heard about the And Sew On one (I’m a bad blog follower and don’t read enough), I think I’ll add that one to my list of my BOMs.
And I wish I had done the 2012 FQS Mystery BOM, it’s so pretty!

I have a Ton of lists suddenly! Including BOM’s and QAL’s and I am considering the next mystery BOM form FQS to add to the fist one, and– I’ve got to take a breath! Love your quick herringbones!

Good to see some Vintage Modern in action! I have some stashed away trying to figure out what to do with it so this helps. And a vacay, back to Oz!? Yay!
