Resolved to sew: Resolution 2012 and a give-away

Ever since I completely failed at my resolution of not buying any fabric during a particular year (I bought even more than usual, so the fail was epic), I have stayed away from NY resolutions for my quilting endeavours. This year however, I will attempt to make as much from stash - and there is a lot of that, believe you me - as I can. There is a vague list in my head of quilts I want to make so let's see if I get around to them:

- quilt for C's bestie mate
- quilt for my bestie mate (her daughter already has two)
- finish my Night on the Tiles in Manchester

Everything else will be a bonus and I will be happy if I get additional projects to the pre-binding stage.

Seeing how I want to mainly work from stash, I might as well attempt to add to it by winning a give-away called "Resolved to Sew 2012 at Very Berry Made. Click on the link to see what is to be had!

My Pledge for 2009

I will not buy any fabric this year!

My stash is over-flowing with material for projects and I have plenty for several quilts. Also, I'm hoping this will keep me from wasting time on cruising fabric shops and battling the Urge to Purchase.

I might even find enough for a give-away ... we shall see!



Posted are the latest two instalments for my stash, both purchased in late 2008.

PIF: on its way to California

Yay, after much to-ing and fro-ing I managed to get one PIF on the road to California. For the other one, I'm still awaiting a postal address and then that shall be on its way too ...

Phew!

Since September, the list of upcoming projects has changed to:

Coasters - working on it

Potholders - on my mind

long-term project: my first and only sampler quilt

Night on the Tiles

Done:

PIF

Stashbuster Quilt for my God-Daughter, well, sort of: used the fabric and finished the quilt

2 quilts in a day for new babies

Edited to add: PIF No. 2 is also on its way, also to California.

Another thing I'd like to win:

Star blocks in Christmassy fabrics and colours, check it out!

Flea Market give-away

You can really tell that Christmas is around the corner by the amount of give-aways going on. I almost feel cheap not doing one myself!

Here's one for Denyse Schmid Flea Market Fancy fabrics: http://littlebluecottage.wordpress.com/2008/11/23/flea-market-fancy-stash-a-little-giveaway/.
