Part 3: 52 quilts in 2011

Part 3: 52 quilts in 2011, a set on Flickr.

Last set. I missed taking photos of two quilts, one of which I can't even remember. It was a brown bag surprise at Ruth's Stitchery. I think I gave it away before I got a photo of it! And I forgot to put Bouillabaisse on my calendar, so really, I pieced 52 in 2011!

Part 1 52 quilts in 52 weeks for 2011

2011 52 quilts in 52 weeks, a set on Flickr.

Here are the first 24 quilts I pieced in 2011. I need to go back through the photos and see how many were quilted and given away -- more that I thought!

12 for 2012

I'm jumping on the New Year's Resolution bandwagon.  I had 7 resolutions in 2011 and did pretty well, except for "write a letter every month on the 15th."  I only wrote two "snail mail" letters in 2011.  I used to be really good at writing letters, but now most of the generation I wrote to is gone.  My friends and contemporaries all use email or Facebook, and I even sent my holiday greetings via Jacqui Lawson's  e-cards.  I'll try again this year to write more letters.  Here are my "12 for 2012:"

1. 12 knit UFOs
2. 52 quilts in 52 weeks
3. write 12 letters
4. make bed as soon as it's empty
5. fold laundry as soon as it's dry
6. follow Organize in 5 assignment every day
7. empty sink before bed
8. teeth twice daily
9. move every day
10. blog 4X weekly
11. meet friends once monthly
12. refinish bathroom and kitchen
    
    

 The weekend's "UFO Luau Sew-In Party" will help with #2!  I've picked out two UFOs to work on while I'm listening to "One of Our Thursday's is Missing" by Jasper Fford.

WIP Wednesday

Here's what's on the design wall today:  The pattern is "Red Velvet" by Thimble Blossoms, the fabric is mostly Joel Dewberry from Mama Said Sew in Old Town Fort Collins.  The orange-sherbet color is the color of my granddaughter's "big girl" bedroom, it's actually called Cantaloupe (paint by Ace Colors for Your Life).  I'm putting off completing it so it can be the first quilt of 2012!  Oh, look -- I'm so glad I took this photo because the blocks in the top and bottom on the far right are turned wrong!

How progresses the 12 in 2012 UFO Challenge gathering?  I have my UFOs sorted and numbered, I'll draw the first number on Saturday morning so we can join Pat Sloan's New Years Eve Sew-a-thon Luau.  I even found 12 knitting UFOs and numbered them -- just in case I get tired of quilting.
