The last quarter of 2019 is upon us! This has been a hectic year with lots going on and my personal sewing has suffered.
I am working on my plans for 2020 and I am trying to make time for all the things I NEED to do as well as all the things I WANT to do!
Last quarter was soooo busy! (check out the blog post of the last quarter here) to see the things I did (and didn’t!) get finished!
A reminder of where I am at with my overall goals for 2019 :
- Classes have gone really well in 2019. Planning for some more fun in 2010.
- My longarm quilting business is booming! Working on pulling back on my day job so I can do more quilting in 2020!
- Fabric Sales are going well – Moda Precuts are very popular!
- Only two more Charm Collective patterns this year! Check out the Charm Collective here!
And below are what I am hoping to get finished before the end of 2019.

Girt by Sea Quilt
EDIT: So I am counting this one as finished….. even though it is still on the Longarm being quilted….. there really needed to just be another 4 days in 2019!! 🙂
This one has been on the list every quarter this year….. but it is first up on Lily the Longarm during my December holidays, so hoping this will get quilted, bound, photographed AND blogged before 31st December!
Jelly Roll patch in B&C Handmade
EDIT: Yay!!! I got this one done! I haven’t done a blog post for this one yet, but it is DONE!
Another one that has been sitting on my WIP pile all year. December holidays this one is going to get busted out!
Charm Collective November
The Charm Fringed table runner was the November Charm Collective pattern – three different scarf blocks making up a large table runner!
Charm Collective December
The Just Red Tree wall hanging was the final Charm Collective pattern for 2019!
Harvest Road Nature Quilt
Harvest Road ‘Nature is my Home’ quilt. This was a gorgeous panel that came with Harvest Road fabric collection by Lella Boutique and it whips up into a beautiful quilt very quickly!
Made and given to a friend for Xmas!
Dr Who
A surprise birthday present (but very belated!) for my Dr Who loving niece…. here’s hoping she doesn’t actually read my blog!!
This one is going to be pushed out to 2020…. it isn’t even going to make it into the last quarter of 2019! But determined to finish it before next year’s birthday!!
Swell Xmas Quilt
EDIT: this got close, but it will be my first finish in 2020 I think!
Oh wouldn’t this be good to get finished before Xmas this year?!?! I am stuck on what to put on the backing…. do I make it a double sided quilt? Or do I just use some yardage and make a quick backing so I can get it done?
Hour Baskets
EDIT: I made a plethora of hour baskets!!!
I want to get my fabric all neat and tidy before the end of the year, so more Hour Baskets are required. Already have two more patchwork panels made up, and two more fabrics pulled.
Hoping for another 6 before the end of the year.
Xmas Bunting
EDIT: we got heaps of Xmas bunting made and put up and there was a great response from everyone in the town! We will be working on making more next year!
I am working with my CWA girls to make heaps of Xmas bunting to decorate a local town and there are METRES to be made….
Words-To-Play-By Banner
A cute banner made with the Playroom fabric line by Mister Domestic – sooo much fun to make and this made it into the Art Gallery Look Book for the fabric release!
Flannel Patchwork Quilt
I had been wanting to try the Moda flannel for ages… so I finally got my hands on some and made up a quick and cute flannel quilt… sweet and simple!
Lots and lots of work to be done here. Good luck getting some of it done. It’s all very beautiful.
Thanks Lisa…. always need a bit of luck to get things finished in the run up to Xmas!
Wowzers – you’ve got some stunning projects in the works, Anne! I really love your Girt by Sea (you know my love for colour) and that Swell X-mas one is too cute! I vote for a simple backing so you have her done in plenty of time before the holidays arrive 😉
Hehehe… thanks Shannon! Yes, I just can’t decide about the Swell Xmas one…. I am thinking I will go with simple (I just *might* have enough fabric for a backing!!)
Lovely projects, but I especially love the Girt by the sea. I hope that you enjoy making progress on some of these projects. On behalf of the entire FAL crew, thanks for joining in.
Thank you!
