The Confused Quilter has shared her organisational bug and yet again blogged a great idea - to put down on paper (or on screen as the case may be) quilty goals for 2011.
In 2011 I want to:
Complete my RRCB quilt and have it on the bed
Make Melly and Me's Sleepover bag in a class run by the Drapers of Mt Macedon
Make baby gifts for two pregnant friends (and some who are TTC and will prolly be pregnant soon!!)
Start my Dear Jane
Start my Nearly Insane
Make Bonnie Hunter's Carolina Crossroads quilt
Learn handquilting
Finish all my UFO goals (see post below)

Lizzy Mae's Medallion Month 3
I had the class at Quilter's Bazaar yesterday.
The great thing about this quilt is that it doesn't have to be assembled as you go so missing month 2 hasn't made any difference.
I have my fabric pack and some extra instructions from Lorraine.
Month 3 was supposed to happen last month and month 4 is in 2 weeks so it's a very busy month classwise!
We made the double X block which came together much more quickly and easily than I first thought due to Lorraine's piecing and cutting shortcuts!
Due to my still fairly fragile wrist I only made one and a bit blocks in class but I'm psyched to get cracking with them.
I can't believe how small they are! They will be 5" finished so a bit bigger than Dear Jane and a bit smaller than Nearly Insane! It's good practice for whenever I get around to these quilts I guess!
I'm getting that slightly overwhelmed feeling. I want to work on Lizzy Mae, I have one Mystery quilt in progress and another to start shortly yet I have 2 quilts tops that REALLY need basting and quilting!!!!
Changing feet on the machine and lugging it to class every few weeks really interrupts my mojo.
I think I'll indulge in my craving for speed piecing at the moment and try to get Lizzy Mae done asap. I may leave off doing a few clues of the DaChintzy Code and do them all in one go.
Not sure about Bonnie's Mystery.
I'd like to have one quilt basted and quilting underway by the end of the month. I wonder if it will happen?
I haven't done any sewing today. I did lots of cutting and pinning last night but the sewing machine is still rolling around in the boot of the car and I have a thumping headache.
On a more positive note, I'm pretty sure I've collected all my fabrics for Bonnie's Roll Roll Cotton Boll Mystery Quilt!

Going Insane...
...and it has nothing to do with Salinda W Rupp or Jane A Stickle (unfortunately).
It's now FIVE days since I set foot outside the front door. I'm going a bit loopy!
DS has had conjunctivitis since last thursday afternoon although it's almost gone - just some mild cold symptoms left. I've had flu since friday and DH had a milder case of both.
On Monday I felt much better but felt worse again yesterday and now I also have goopy eyes!
No Gisborne Quilters for me tonight. The girls are working on convict bonnets for the second week in a row and I haven't done anything! We got the pattern in our newsletter so I suppose I could make one at home. Sewing curves by machine sends me into a blind panic though!
August is almost halfway gone, my UFOs are not getting smaller and I feel too sick and sore to even fondle fabric.
I'm desperate to get to the LQS to check out a particular fabric range for some future bag making projects. The car is in the driveway but I just don't have the energy.
Right. No more from me til I have something more cheerful to say!
