I am going to join up with Barbara again next year in her NewFO Challenge. It's really not much of a challenge for me to start NEW projects anyway. My challenge comes with being able to FINISH the OLD ones. LOL

I still want to do some tutorials on these templates for you. Let me know if there is a specific one you would like to learn more about and it might get moved to the top of the 'to do' list.
I also I want to join the RSC14. I have been reading several blogs, including Barbara's, that participate in this one. Since two of the quilts I have on my list of want to make are Rainbow Color Schemes why not. I want to make a Storm at Sea (have the templates) and also a Dancing Stars by Amy Ellis why not. I will be using templates for the later one even though her directions are for paper piecing.
I also have a newtoy workhorse in the Studio to use. I'll have to post more about the templates I have bought to use with it another time. They are definitely at the top of the 'to do' list.
I also have a new
Then there is the embroidery unit for my new Dreamweaver. I had hoped to get some Christmas Lace Ornaments made on it but so far it hasn't happened. There are still a few days left before Christmas. Maybe it will happen. I'm still reading the manual and can't make it to my new owner classes until January.
That's about as far as I am going with plans right now. As you can see I shouldn't get bored anytime soon. Plus, I have to keep you entertained too!

Sounds like you have a lot of fun planned for this year!
ReplyDeleteYou will love the Accuquilt Studio. I spend 4 days cutting scraps and now have several containers that have entire quilts ready to go. Plus anytime I have left over small scraps I'll cut various sized tumblers or HST for a good scrappy look.
ReplyDeleteHoly smokes. That's an ambitious list. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, right?
ReplyDeleteYou are definitely going to be busy and oh my!!!! You have a new Studio! Can't wait to see what dies you have too!
