Published!!!

Do you guys read Fat Quarterly?? If you don't, you really should do yourself a favour and go and check it out.  It's a great e-zine featuring modern sewing projects.  This month in addition to a huge number of great projects, one of my projects is in it too!

It's a really quick canvas that you can make to decorate for the holidays... The one in Issue 8 of Fat Quarterly is for Easter

 But it works really well for Christmas too!

I'm super excited! This is the first time one of my projects has been published.  It's a great ezine, you should all go and check it out!

I have a new quilt to share with you all today! The squares I showed piled up last week are for this

It's a "Plus Quilt" from the tutorial by Jeni over at In Color Order and it's coming together really quickly!

I'm linking up with WIP Wednesday over at freshly pieced so here are the stats:

New Projects - 1

Completed Projects - 0

Ongoing Projects - number actually unknown!

Projects for 2012

I've been doing a stocktake of the projects I want to make this year, or in some cases finish this year and I think if I record them here that perhaps I will feel more drive to finish them rather than get distracted with pretty new things!

Up first is finishing off these placemats for my mum.  I managed to finish off 4 before Christmas which were given to her for her early January birthday, but I need to finish the other 4 so that she can have a full set of 8!  The fabric is Bryant Park from Anthology Fabrics, paired with Kona solids.

 For once I've actually saved my selvedges, and I would like to make a pouch of some kind featuring them.  Hopefully that will come together quickly!

This is a bundle of Nicey Jane that recently joined my collection.  My friend Jenn and I went halves in some fat quarters, so now we both have a set of fat eighths.  I think we will do some kind of "challenge" with these, I already have the design in my head, but I won't start until Jenn can start too.

Late last year I showed you this stack of fabrics, which have become this neat little pile of squares.  This is going to become a quilt that I'm calling Sunset Plus.  As soon as I have time to layout all the squares I'll show you a sneak peek!

Also on the list for finishing this year is my Candied Hexagons.  I think I have less than 10 blocks to go now, and then the little edge pieces.  I doubt that I will get the top finished, the quilting and binding done, but I would be happy if I can finish the top this year.

Finally, and using my newly learnt Machine Quilting skils, I would like to quilt these two tops which have been waiting around for some time now to be finished off.  I've always wanted to quilt them myself, so I think this will be the year.

That's the list to start with!  What about you?  What are you making this year?
