60 Projects in 2022- Waterfall Album

The next of the unfinished projects in 2022 is this mini album.

I have one more item to post before we move on to my 2023 plans so stay tuned...

60 Projects in 2022- Christmas/Winter Album

As you know I had a lot of quilts on my list of projects but I had quite a few paper crafts as well. This Album I realized dated back to 2013. Yikes! I think I didn't touch it because it was Christmas and didn't feel it was a priority. I will have a video on how I decorated it coming up as soon as I edit it. I will post it here when I do but for now here are the photos. I'm pretty sure this was a Paper Phenomenon Album Tutorial I had bought but it's just too long ago and I just can't remember as well as the paper line used. I tried researching what it was but it's gone from the data banks I guess. This is why I need to finish projects when I start them, lol.

Keep watch for the video coming soon.....

60 Projects in 2022- Rosette 3 - Millefiori Quilt-Along

Although I had hoped to be further along on this quilt I just feel that it should not be rushed. One of the hardest parts of this quilt is picking the fabric each time. I bought fat quarter stacks before I knew what the project was going to be so I need to be careful when it comes to cutting it. Fussy cutting can cause a lot of waste so the thought process for picking the right fabric can take time as well as choosing the outer rounds color as to not be the same as the rosette next to it. It would have been easier to designate a color for each rosette but I really think I will enjoy the outcome of the colors I chose even if it means it will take a little longer. My goal is to finish the top this year. I really like having a hand project to do when I just want to listen to music or podcasts.

You can find the details here on my progress with this quilt. 

60 Projects in 2022 - Patchwork Swoon Quilt

In many of the quilts I had to finish, a lot of them just needed to be quilted and the binding put on. This one was easy because I sent it to a long arm quilter to quilt it and all I had to do was put the binding on. This is a quilt I made for the little cubby bench I have in my craft room so it is in my craft room colors with cozy Fireside (feels like a teddy bear) fabric on the back.

This is the pattern, Patchwork Swoon by Thimble Blossoms and you can find it here.

My Favorite Color Quilt - Blocks 6-15

Well I didn't finish this quilt last year but it will be added to my unfinished projects for 2023. I did get quite far and this post will get you all up to date on where I'm at. Here are blocks 6 to 15.

Block 6- Blocks 4 and 5 are the reason I fell so far behind because of the issues I had with the sizing so when I saw this one was next I was too scared to start. I really had  no reason to because it came together fairly quickly without incident which motivated me to do more but it was probably three month before I actually touched it.

Block 7

Block 8

Block 9

Block 10

Block 11

Block 12

Block 13

Block 14

And finally Block 15

I only have 5 more blocks to go but because they were added to the 2023 list, they will be randomly chosen. I will have more on that when I post about this year's challenge.

You can follow along from the beginning here.

More of Last Year's Finished Projects in My 60 Projects Challenge- Quilted Table Runner

Last year in 2022, I worked to complete 60 creative projects. One of these projects is the Norwood Table Runner from the Tabletastic 2 book by Doug Leko of Antler Quilt Design. I had a lot of fun creating this project and was so inspired that I made 10 more Christmas themed ones for my sisters-in-law. The fabric of this one was vintage looking yet set in a more modern background which added to the overall charm of the project.

60 Projects Overview and a New List for 2023.

In my last post I said I was going to post bunch of  projects that I finished in 2022. Well I ended up getting the flu right after and well, with Christmas and all the things that go with that, I really didn't have the energy to post anything. So I will be posting them now. I would have liked to have it done before the end of the year but what can you do. 

How many projects did I get done altogether? I counted them up and in total it was thirteen. Not bad considering I did do some other new projects in between. With the thirteen unfinished projects I also painted 21 paintings and did some last minute Christmas gifts for my sisters-in-law which was 10 table runners. Of course since they were last minute I forgot to take pictures of them, but they were other versions of one of my 60 projects that I will share later. I started the My Favorite Color Quilt (which will now go in my unfinished project list for this year) I don't have too much to finish on that one but I ran into some problems that made me put it away until I could look at it in a good light again, lol.

As I went through my list to make this year I don't have 60 projects but 55 (I added some that hadn't been on it last year because I stopped at 60). 55 is the final total of unfinished projects and if I can make sure to finish any new projects I start this year, because I know I will. This year I should see a huge dent put in it. Of course my goal is to finish all of them this year.

Now because I can't remember the order I finished them because I drew numbers out of a hat, I'm just going to post them in the order they are listed. 

Remember the table topper I did at the very beginning of 2022? You can find it here. I decided to do another one in a bit brighter colors. It's the Moda Love Charm Table Topper. I'm pretty sure I will be making this one again. I've made three already but it's fun to make and there are so many color options you could do.

 I quilted it in quarters by sewing a straight stitch to the center, turning 90 degrees and sewing back to the outer edge. I then continued to do the same spacing each line about 3/4" apart. I love how that turned out and was easy to manage by rolling up the sides I wasn't quilting at the time.
