The 11 Project Progress Plan

Doesn’t that sound official?  Downright corporate.  But it’s only just us – us being my Kindred Spirits quilt group (or whatever we are calling ourselves these days – Quiltie Buddies Extraordinaire).

So, here’s the deal: since we all have a few (ahem) unfinished projects stuffed here and there, we decided on a plan to work on them this coming year.  We each made a list of 11 projects, making sure to number them.  At the first meeting of the month, we pull a number at random.  That’s the project we work on some during the month.

We’re a user friendly bunch.  You don’t have to finish the project.  You can work on other projects, too.  (Well, of course).  Just  a little progress.  That’s the plan.

The number for January?  #9

For me, that is the Asian Pyramid Triangles, a project I worked on with a friend quite a while ago.  Last year this time, perhaps?  In any case, Vickie, who is approximately a gazillion times more efficient than I am, finished hers.  I got the top assembled as far as you see in the photo above.  But I also had these bits ready to go.

And these:

So, more rows to the top.  That’s the plan.

Meanwhile, I made up another iPad 2 sleeve using the pattern I posted over on Pattern Spot.  I posted it in my Etsy Shop.  I’m really impressed with how the button for closing the flap lined up with the circles on the fabric – pure serendipity.

And because I love making these (and I don’t even own an iPad!), I’ve got another ready to make up.  Because who doesn’t love the Ghastlies?

I’m getting held up because I am out of fusible fleece.

Really.  This is unheard of. 

Our local Joann’s is moving to a bigger store – and I’m all for that.  But it’s meant months of them not having anything left in stock (as they went into clearance mode months ago).  I really underestimated how much of certain things I would need.  Which leaves me out of my favorite linen and out of fusible fleece.

I could drive to the next town over and visit their JoAnn’s.  In fact, I know I’m going to have to.  Meanwhile?  I’m just whining.

But it’s not like I don’t have anything to do in my sewing room, right?  I mean, there is the 11 Project Progess Plan!
