Have you seen the massive giveaway over at Very Berry Handmade? If not, hop over there to check it out. Lovely prizes. And it got me to thinking, what am I resolved to sew this year?
1) my 9-year old needs a new bed-sized quilt. For now, he squeezes himself under the crib sized quilt I made him years ago, and while I am flattered, I imagine he has got to be cold.
2) I started hand quilting a quilt for my bed about 5 years ago and then got bored. Well, I want a quilt on my bed. It is downright embarrassing to be a quilter and not have a quilt on my bed! I'm finishing it this year.
3) Remember my Pindrop block that I made up a while ago while participating in my first Bee this year? I'd like to make a whole quilt out of those.
4) I want to make a bed-sized flannel rag quilt. I have more flannel than I know what to do with.
5) I want to quilt at least 3 of my existing tops this year. I don't know if that is possible, but nothing ventured, nothing gained, right?
6) I've been doing a pretty good job of making and giving homemade gifts, but I want to go all the way this year. It means I'll need to be more disciplined and prepared, but I think I can do it.
Join the giveaway -I'd like to see what you are resolved to do this year.

Great list, Erin. I also want a quilt for my own bed - that will be Swoon. And I'd like to make more handmade gifts for Christmas. Like you, I've resolved to start earlier instead of leaving it to the last minute ;)
I'd say that is a pretty ambitious list. I want to finish my daughter's quilt and make a wedding quilt for my #1 son. Also my #2 grandson is needing a big-boy quilt too. That should be more than enough to work on.
