in 2006

I am going to tackle 9-patches. I know they are supposed to be a simple
block, but mine never come out to the size I intend, and I've never made 2
the same. I bought a magazine with lots of different quilts made with
9-patches and I'm inspired. Thankfully, the magazine also came with tips and
hints for well-behaved 9-patches.

There are a few things I'm going to try in 2006 in addition to remembering
to write 2006 on my checks. I have always been going to get around to a
feathered something or a pineapple. Toile has been calling to me but this
is going to be the year that I make a quilt with one. I've never made a
quilt using circles or curves. Yes, I'm going to try those too. You have
a few days to ponder while you clean up the holiday rubble but we would
like to know what new adventure beckons you. Up until now, this is on
topic but feel free to wander. Baltimore, anyone? Kaleidoscope? Bungee

Well, in March I am going to Denmark (Copenhagen) for a week. Since my DH
will be away for 3 to 6 months, maybe I will get all done with the BOMs and
put them together, somehow. I think it will be one ugly quilt with the
colors I have used, but it will be finished. Actually I do intend to take
off a wide border on a Hidden Wells that I pieced a bit ago and then see if
I will be happier with he end result and I intend to complete several
quilted clothing items.

Me too!! Stippling that is. I keep telling myself I'm too left brained to do
it.....but I aim to try!

I hate to admit it, but I've not done anything with flannel yet. So I am
going to try that in a simple quilt as well as making chenille. I also
have
wanted to try drunkards path in a full sized quilt. So that's on my list
too. But I really want to shoo all these PIGS outta here!
suuuuuuuuu-whee!
At least one per month! My biggie - I'm going to machine quilt one of my
quilts in something other than SITD. Perhaps - are you all sitting down -
even try stippling! Yikes!

Yeah, the thought of those ER cases bothers me a little bit, but if DH is
going to ride, I'd rather ride my own than stare into the back of his
helmet! If we do any long trips, though, it'll be on the Gold Wing. The
Honda will be for "fun" riding around town. You'll know me if you see me --
it's purple with green flames!

Cool Louise! Then you can ride down and see me! I used to have a little
Honda in my college days. I'd never convince my DH to ride, but I'd do it
in a heartbeat! I guess he's seen too many ER cases. Oh well.

I'm going to learn to machine quilt. I have a quilt top waiting for me
right now, and that's going to be my challenge starting this week.

Bungee jumping? I don't think so, but I *am* going to take a class to
learn how to ride a motorcycle! DH bought a new (to us) Gold Wing last
summer, and he kept his Honda Shadow -- and that's going to be mine!

I'm doing a 9-patch in my head right now for Cat in the Hat. I'm thinking
black-white-black over white-red-white. There are possibly 7 other
variations on that theme. Any thoughts? Polly

I'd love to try a cathedral window quilt - they just fascinate me!
I'd also like to try something with all plaids...... maybe flannel
plaids??

In 2006, I will finish all the pieced blocks for a BOM from 2 years ago! I
don't know whatever possessed me to buy additional blocks each month that
were applique. I have 7 pieced blocks completed, and 0 applique blocks
done. I don't even have a date for doing all the applique - probably be in
my next life! I will also make DH the poker quilt that I have been telling
myself that I was going to do it. I have only had the card fabric for 5-6
years so I don't want to rush it, lol.

I figure something's gonna get you sometime. Might as well have some fun
with tempered with well intentioned caution! Hummm, you know what I mean,
don't you? I never did teach him to ride my bike when I had it. Maybe that
would have helped. Probably not, he's the cautious type. I quit riding
when I got pregnant. That baby is 26 now! (And he just called from Panama
where he's visiting his Peace Corps girlfriend! I'm glad he's having a good
time, but I'll be glad when he's home safe and sound....guess DH isn't the
only cautious one in the family!)
