Sewing Intentions for 2020


Midnight in the Tulip Garden




Fabric for my sister

I have a lot of sewing intentions for 2020 - some garment making, some quilting, some felt and embroidery. Some are to be completed fully, some to be assembled to a point for another year.  Anyhoo, in no particular order here is my list of intentions

Quilting and Stitching
  • Midnight in the Tulip Garden  - my medallion quilt top - finished,basted, quilted, bound
  • Folk Flowers quilt - make more blocks, and the edging pieces, so I have an assembled top
  • Ice Cream Soda Quilt - joining pieces on all blossoms (I've done half of them) and fully stitched together with borders
  • Santa and Mrs Claus felt and embroidery decorations
Garment Sewing
  • a new dress for a wedding I am attending in March - the red floral, will be a Lois dress, the other floral - I'm still undecided on, I love the colours and the drape of the fabric, however I'm a little scared I'll look like I'm wearing the curtains - a la The Sound of Music.
  • three tops for my sister (cos I'm a sucker)
  • two peppermint wrap tops -  I'm intending to remake the lilac one in a longer length and  also a white version.
  • a new winter coat (can a girl have too many?)
I am also hoping to start a new wool felt applique and embroidery project - probably late autumn when it is a little too cold to spend a lot of time in my sewing room.

Of course all these intentions are subject to change should something more exciting come along.

What are you planning for 2020?

    A lovely assortment of projects Julie! Very do-able too! Loving the colours in your 'folk flowers' blocks and your ICS blossoms do look beautiful all together!

    Your fabric choice for the Lois looks PERFECT (and un-curtain-like)! I also look forward to seeing your new Peppermint wrap tops. (On my queue. Too...)
    Happy New Year!
