I have been thinking about what to do for my quilting projects this year. I know I was quite slow last year since I had to rest my hands and wrist in-between projects (#signsofaging). I'm excited though for this new year since I'd like to move forward with the list I made a few years ago.
My original plan was to make themed quilt projects. I started with the quilted cat covers for my kitchen gadgets. Productivity last year wasn't very high, but I was still able to make a few quilts for my friends, a bench cover, the Pikachu portrait quilt, the Christmas peppermint quilt collection (piano top and throw pillow covers), and a couple of curtains (I just like making curtains too, haha).
I realized there are items that need another set, i.e. bench cover, throw pillow covers, and kitchen covers. I need another set so I can wash them more frequently. I'll probably leave the throw pillow covers in the living room until Valentine's. I only finished the set on Christmas Eve (LOL). It will buy me time to make a new set of throw pillows.
I also want to make myself a new bag. I recently improved on the handle of the bag I made when I was still in Singapore. Back then I didn't know how to make proper handles yet and finding material was a bit hard. I also need a couple of small quilted organizers for my bag (oil case, card case, power bank sleeve). I'll probably start with this since I need it already.
Sometime in the year I want to make a quilted Yoda portrait. I was planning to do it last year, but I belatedly realized that piecing 400 1"x1" fabric is tedious! Maybe I'll do it in parts. If I have time, I'll also make a Squirtle portrait (good luck to my hands and wrist). I'm going to see an Ortho doctor soon, to figure out how I can make my body stronger.
Of course, I'm still aiming to make seat covers for our dining room chairs. I have not done it since it's a huge job order. I have one lonely Santa cover and the rest of those covers are sitting inside a box waiting to be sewn (hehe). My Christmas project though would be a table runner with matching placemats and coasters. If I have more energy, I also hope to make Christmas themed covers for my kitchen appliances.
Tall order! But that's how setting goals should be!
