2010 Reviewed and looking forward to 2011

Okay, So I have been seeing those cool mosaics popping up everywhere.  I love them!!  Unfortunately, I had no idea how to make them.  So I decided to remedy that situation this morning.  So about 2 hour later, (and lots of downloads to flickr :)  I present you with my 2010 quilts Mosaic :)  Isn't it fun!!

There are a few of my little projects not pictured but these are all the "quilt" quilts I made this year.

And once I learned just how easy these are to make (once everything is set up correctly) I decided to make another one.  This is a Mosaic of my Moda Bake Shop Tutorial Projects.  Designing for the Moda Bake Shop is probably my proudest quilting accomplishment of the year.  I am truly enjoying it and can't say how exciting it is to know that people out there in quilt world like my tutorials and are using them :)


So that is 2010 . . . So what's up for 2011??  Here are a few of my goals, in no particular order.  (And yes, I am mostly writing them down for me so that I actually try to accomplish these things :)


1 - Participate in a Bee  (which I have already signed up for but sometimes it is fun to write things that are easily checked off :)
2 - Participate in a Swap  (I have never done this,  any suggestions on good ones would be appreciated :)
3 - Learn how to Paper Piece
4 - Learn how to Curve Piece
5 - Be a guest blogger on other sites.  (I have done this once at Stash Manicure and loved it)
6 - Make a pillow or 2  (I need to branch out a little and I sew love the Cathedral Window pattern)
7 - Host a Quilt-A-Long  (a little scary, but I really think it would be fun, with a little stress mixed in, lol)
8 - Continue designing for the Moda Bake Shop  (I just love this so much, It is a definite keeper :)  (And since I already have a project lined up for January I can check this off the list, Yippee Skippee)
9 - Use up more of my ever growing Stash.  I can't believe how quickly it is growing :)
10 - Last but not least, and I waited for last to write it because it scares the pants off of me. . . . Get a design published in a magazine.  (I think I can, I think I can, I think I can :)
Pin It!

  3. Love the mosaic and good for you in sticking to it - looks lovely. I'd be banging my head. Your goal list is awesome. I find the swaps on Quilt Gallery to be well run and less stressful. Love your BakeShop patterns and sure the cross over would be so easy for you. Moda has a Jelly Roll designer contest right now. If you host a quilt along, I am so in. Good luck to your New Year.

  4. I signed up for the Spicing up the Kitchen Swap. If you are interested in some kitchen stuff I think sign ups are still open.
