Hustling Wrap Up

Happy New Year (almost) everyone! I've taken a break from blogging while we are traveling for the holidays, but I did want to get this post in. Thanks to Kelsey for hosting the Hustle, it was great fun to challenge myself and get organized. In fact, some of the gifts I made for the holidays definitely would not have been made if not for this little exercise.

I will post full posts about my latest finishes (both on and off this list) in January, but for now here's how I did with my list (not bad!):


Kelsey Sews



Hand stitching:

Modern Medallion quilt - hand quilting, start -  purchased batting, basted, begun!




Yarn work:

Portland cowl - finish


Aidez sweater - knit enough to know if I want to keep going - yes! it looks like this yarn will work, no plans to finish the whole thing before the end of the year though

scrap yarn blanket for donation to animal shelter - start - will continue adding to this here and there over the next months


At the machine:

Covered bead necklace for me - start & finish


Stuffed animal for baby girl - start & finish


Riding boot bag - start & finish 


Amsterdam quilt top - start


Voile/flannel scarf - start & finish (Xmas)


Tote for Samara - start & finish (Xmas)


Garment bag - finish - purchased zipper and grommet, cut pieces out, got too confused to finish
Baby quilt for Anna - start, finish by February - purchased fabric, know what pattern it will be, will start cutting in the new year
Flannel pjs for me - start & finish


(there's a tank top, too but it hasn't been photographed)

Pencil roll up for Jasmine - start & finish (Xmas)


Fabric necklaces & gift bags (at least 5) - start & finish (Xmas)




For next year: 
Temair throw - finish already! (sew motifs together), Laminated cotton tote for barn, Apron, Embroidery kit - start
