My first finish for 2013 was not what I expected. I was going to skip January for my Block of the Week, but since we've postponed our move for awhile because we need to be in town most of January, I decided to finish my January blocks. One of them will be available every Monday starting next week. I hope I'm able to keep up for the rest of the weeks. Any ideas of blocks that start with X, Y, and Z? I'm still debating whether to include additional blocks after every number. If I do there are still 31 blocks to go. I will be glad to get these behind me. My other major project for this year is the quilt guild's 2014 raffle quilt. I'm making good progress on it and will have the kits ready for the members next month. Then next year I would like to do my own block of the month. We'll see if that fits into my busy schedule.

I started 6 small projects - table runners and wallhangings - and 18 hand embroidered Christmas ornaments Dec 10. I am done except for the quilting on three table runners. I am not allowed to think about starting the BOM until I am done. Just tell me to keep my nose to the grindstone.

First on my list is my "Majestic Sedona" (which I'm starting to layer today and hopefully start marking for quilting) so I can enter it in our guilds annual quilt show in March (biting off more than I can chew???) Second will be my HST that I've been searching for quilt patterns since who knows when. Third I have a photo quilt that I want to start of my daughter in a seductive pose. Bought a projector so that I can enlarge and draw out the pattern. Never created an art quilt before, so wish me luck. Hopefully I will be able to get to approx 10 UFO's that have been sitting around for forever. Why oh why do we do this to ourselves, because we love what we do!!!! To all you TQS' have a wonderful New Year.

Nancy, that's really nice. How did you quilt the grid? I thought you did this on an embroidery machine. :shock:

I drew the grid using a 1/2" stencil, then drew lines in the middle to get a 1/4" grid. Then I just quilted it FMQ on my Bernina. Since the quilt is only 12" square, the lines were short enough to get pretty straight. The spacing between the lines is visibly off in places because I used a thick pen, but it's not too noticeable so you only see it if you look closely.
