Rainbow Scrap Challenge #1

Over at So Scrappy the Rainbow Scrap Challenge has began. I found her blog during 2014 and was very interested in last year challenge but it was too late in the year to join in. So I just followed along and enjoy everyone's progress. When the  2015 Rainbow Scrap Challenge was released I decided to join in this year. It is a Sawtooth Star Sampler quilt. The Sawtooth Star block measures at 12 1/2 inch unfinished.

This month's colour is blue and our first block is the Whirling Geese set in a sawtooth star block.
Here is my first block the Whirling Geese which is the centre part of the block.(6 1/2 inch)

Here is my first block set in it sawtooth star.

The background for the star points will be the same fabric throughout my project. The star points will be that month colour and the centre will be that month colour with others depending on the pattern.

There is a button in the right hand side tool bar if you want to have a look at this project or if you want to join us.

Here is the link for you to have a look at others progress.

My Word for 2015.

I have been thinking on this for a couple of weeks now. On reflecting on 2014 there seem to be a recurring word appearing in my life. So I am taking on this word as my word for the 2015 and I am going to try fixing all the problems I have with it. No more excuses. Well maybe a few I can't control everything and everybody, so I may need a few excuses over the course of the year. Maybe a couple of get out of jail free cards.

My word for 2015 is TIME. 

I plan to make Time to do things I want to do.

Spend Time with the people important to me.

Put Time saving processions in place.(Outsource some jobs eg quilting large quilts)

Not waste Time doing stuff I don't want to do. Believe me I do too much of this one.

Enjoy my Time, something I don't do enough off.

Create regular Sewing Time blocks.

This is all to make my life easier, more enjoyable, allow me to reach my 2015 goals and leave me happy within myself. I too easily let others bring me down and ruin my spirit. I will try to not let this happen in 2015.

Until Next Time 

Do what makes you Happy

2015- To Do List

I don't believe I am writing this post already. Where did 2014 go? I have learnt some much during 2014 with new techniques, blogging, social networking,  and I have met some great people during 2014.
So what is left on 2014 list that needs to be transfer over and the new projects that were started during 2014 that need to be added.

UFO's from 2014

1. My Pies & Tarts quilt. I am 3/4 through hand quilting this one.
2.My Farmer's Wife Sampler quilt. I have finished the top in 2014 so it is ready for quilting. I just have to decide hand quilt it or machine quilt it.

3. My Double Wedding Ring quilt which has become a bed runner. I have lots to go on this one.
4. My Disappearing Hourglass quilt. I only have made 6 blocks so far.

5. My Wishes quilt. Ready for quilting.

6. My Pink Dahlia quilt. I need to find the templates so I can continue.
7. My Inklingo Castle Wall quilt. I am working on the 2nd pieced border.

8. My Inklingo star quilt. All printed and 2 blocks completed out of 12.

9. Grand Illusion Mystery quilt. I am currently working on the blocks.
10. My Lozenge scrap quilt. All ready for blocks to be assembled, if I don't change my mind and want to make it bigger.

11. My Aurifil Block of the Month quilt.  I am ready to arrange and piece the top ready for quilting.

12. My Crossroad Quilt. I am still working on the blocks, 12 done and 13 to go if I settle on 25 blocks. I am undecided about a border I may just make some more block to make it bigger.

New things to do for 2015.

Pat Sloan's Vacation Time Block of the month
Fat Quarter Shop Snapshot Block of the Month. This is going to be a special present.
Quiltmaker's New Year Mystery Quilt

There is a few more possible project starts in the pipeline like I want to make a Dear Jane quilt maybe 2015 is the year to start it. I also want to do some foundation piecing as I have 2 patterns I brought over the last year. Who knows what else I will start in 2015.

 Until Next Time
