As my life becomes hectic and busier all I want to do is sit down and sew on a quilt. Making quilts is my escape from reality for a few hours. But for now all I can do is continue to pin quilts, fabric and ideas on Pinterest everyday while I should be crossing something off my to-do list. The more things I pin, the more ideas I get, which leads to more quilts I want to make.
For the past year and a half I have been thinking about a blog post I read. Sierra is friend from back home and I enjoy reading her blog about her life in South Dakota. You can read her blog here http://sierrashea.com/ She created a bucket list of quilts to make and techniques to learn. Well I thought since I keep getting more ideas I should create my own buck list of quilts that I want to make. Here is my Buck List:
Abby’s Bucket List-Quilting Style
1. Flying Geese pattern
2. Farmer’s Wife Sampler Quilt (Does anyone have the book I can borrow?)
3. Blue and Gold quilt (maybe chevron?)
4. Swoon quilt (pattern by Camille Roskelley)
5. Hexagon quilt
6. Moda Love quilt
7. T-Shirt quilt
8. Baby quilt (I need to finish the one I started!)
9. Attend a class at Material Girl Quilt Shop
10. Visit Missouri Star Quilt Co. in Hamilton, MO
11. Attend a sewing retreat
12. Improve my binding skills
Hopefully this summer I can start crossing items off this bucket list instead of my to-do list! What are some other techniques or patterns that I could add to my list?
