With a little tweaking first, I'm adding my whopper to the group! Woohoo! Now, obviously I'm a tad concerned about failing abysmally, hence the tweaking, but after the awe inspiring summer finishes from flash and ubermom I am inspired to give it a go, and I wont be at all disappointed if I can match HALF their awesomeness...

I think that's possibly enough for the next few months, wouldn't you say? I'm a little worried about 2, 3 and 4 as its now the 21st...
Wow, that's a big list! At least you've set some deadlines though, deadlines help with motivation :)
ReplyDeleteAshley x
Oh you will be fine!!
ReplyDeleteReally love the Stained Pink!
Flash you say - like it!
Rather you than me - especially with the deadlines.
ReplyDeleteI feel so much better now after reading your list - I thought mine was bad enough. At least you have the courage to put it out there! Mine stays embarrassingly secret! Jxo
ReplyDeleteHi, Sarah. Wow what a list! Being a list person myself, I stand in awe of yours! Your Stained Pink quilt is lovely, and I covet your purse/bag with that marvelous cartoon fabric. Perfect. Really liked your TicTacToe creation too.
ReplyDeletebest,
nadia
Weirdly, I don't think this looks as bonkers as your first list! I think it's coz it's prioritised - you can totally do this!
ReplyDeleteYep this one looks better... much more achievable. Well done on sorting your head space out. As flash says, stained pink looks ruddy awesome. Did I miss its ta-dah post?
ReplyDeleteyeah, you'll have this done by bonfire night, pma! But seriously, you will because you've set priorities and you'll work your way through it!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the list - your stained glass quilt top is very pretty.
ReplyDeleteMore power to you! That's quite a list.
ReplyDeleteI think my list would just be to make 2 Christmas stockings and start sewing together the piles of squares I cut for a twin size. Even those I'm not sue I'll be able to manage.
At least you have a list Sarah - still hiding my head in the sand!
ReplyDeleteI love the stained pink quilt! So pretty :)
ReplyDeleteI'll give you a *kick* up the bum to meet those deadlines!! Sure you will!
Oh my goodness! Even I am having heart palpatations! Must find little bag to breath into....
ReplyDeleteThat's one hell of a list but I'm sure you can make a huge dent in it and we'll all be cheering you on - good luck!
ReplyDeleteYour list is awesome! Scary, but awesome. Just tick them off one by one rather than looking at the list as a whole. It is easier that way!
ReplyDeleteI love lists me. I love ticking things off a list. Tick, tick, tick. Makes me feel most efficient :-)
ReplyDeleteBut i'm not sure i'd like Your List. No.
Bit too daunting that ;-)
Ever onward then Sarah, ever onward, one tick-at-a-time :-) x
Three mini-quilts by early November?! You go girl, that sewing machine will be doing overtime :) Love the list, it's very orderly! x
ReplyDeletesure you can do it, after all, you've already started some at least. The most I have is a mostly sewn bear and piles and piles of fabric for my ridiculous list lol
ReplyDeleteCool, I made the list! But feel free to shunt me down a bit, you've got so much to do, mentaler!
ReplyDeletewow, I am exhausted reading your list! I love your bucket bag
ReplyDeleteoh your list is amazing! first on my list is to make a list! i read today that there is something like 64 days until christmas! i am so screwed... new rule in my house... no blogging, just sewing... we will see how long that lasts... like 5 minutes maybe, i have to keep up with my peeps!
ReplyDeleteI love that your list is longer than mine!
ReplyDeleteWow, impressive list. Can't wait to see some of your projects!
ReplyDeleteYup that is one great list - welcome to the insanely ambitious gang ;-) but it will be fun and bet you get loads done! Love love love the Stained Pink too. Thanks for linking up :-)
