BUT. My hibernation ends soon. And to kick off 2013, I want to wrap up some WIPs. I present to you, my list. I'm linking up to Lee at Freshly Pieced.
Hexagon Park
I love this quilt top. I got it to this point in JUNE, and it has been waiting for some borders since then. I have everything I need to finish this quilt. This one is at the top of my 2013 to-do list.
Bella Patchwork
A finished quilt top, just in need of backing! I want to back this one in minky fabric.
Hideaway Swoon
Dang it, I love this quilt! I think I have 3 blocks finished. I need to get over my HST burnout and get back to work on this one.
do. Good Stitches quilt
I've received all of the blocks from my DGS circle. Should be a quick finish.
Feathers quilt
My precious. I'm so glad I picked this one for my bee friends to help me with! I think I'm waiting for one more block to arrive, and then this is mine. All mine.
Other to-dos:
Baby quilts
January do. Good Stitches Blocks
January That Stash Bee Blocks
And, now, for a look back at my 2012 quilt finishes.
So I made 26 quilts in 2012. I realize that's insane. Know what's crazy? I made 26 in 2011 too. This year, I'm proud to say that of those 26, 11 were given away as gifts, 5 were donated to charities, and 7 were sold. For 2013, I'd like to slow down and focus on improving my skills, finish up my WIPs, and make a quilt for our bed and our guest bed. And also read more, do a better job of cleaning my house, cook healthy dinners for my family...Okay, clearly I'm getting carried away.
Happy 2013! Hope it's a great one.
Tomorrow, I sew.

oh I look forward to seeing those wips come along, *especially* that Swoon!! What a beautiful & impressive mosaic of finished quilts - really lovely!
I love your quilts Katie! Your mosaic is very impressive. My favourite is the chevron quilt. So you got superwoman powers for Christmas then? To be able to keep all those resolutions, lol? Yeah I'd like to be all those things and do all things too, but I gave up trying when it took away from me enjoying where I'm at. I'd just like more time in a day ...
Good luck with your WIP's! Every time I see your feather blocks I think of making myself one of those quilts! :) Someday! :)
26 quilts. Really? Have you done the math on that, Katie? Insane! No wonder you've been napping! Seriously, they are all great quilts and I am beyond impressed with your productivity. Can't wait to see what you do in 2013!
I totally understand the post-holiday burnout, I think I'm suffering from a bit of that myself! And wowza, 26 quilts?? They're all gorgeous, and I can't wait to see you start finishing up those wip quilts, especially the Hexagon Park one, I just adore Half Moon Modern :)
Truly beautiful finishes for 2012 - may this year be more than you dream!
I like seeing all the hidden patterns in the bella quilt top. Very cool. I think your goal this year should be to use up that roll of batting you won :)
You've got 26 gorgeous quilts there! Can't wait to see those WIPs come together in 2013 - thanks for linking up to WIP Wednesday! : )
You have so much AWESOME going on in one post that I don't even know what to talk about! I am so excited to read about your progress over the year!
I'm happy to see this post. I've been taking a lot of naps this week myself and haven't been very productive. I'm glad I'm not the only one. And yay! Scandal!
Rock star. Seriously - 26 quilts two years in a row?
I'm burned out on holidays, period. Being home and constantly needing to be "on" for G completely sapped my mojo.
The Feathers blocks will make a beautiful quilt. Lovely work.
The colors you have going in your feathers quilt look so luxurious and enveloping. Can't wait to see that finished. Also looking forward to hearing how you do on your other goals for the year. Just remember that it's usually easier and more likely to succeed if you pick one goal and focus and plan for it than a bunch. After all change takes time and doesn't need to happen all at once! Good luck though! Thanks as always for sharing your creations and creativity with us!
Whooo, Nelly! Stop short of cleaning your house, eh? Let's not get crazy. Twenty six quilts is surely impressive. And gorgeous ones at that. Have not had a chance to really look back at my 2012 yet, but I am lucky if I made half of that! Three cheers for productivity, but I agree, there is something to be said for balance, and doing other things is okay, too.
Quilt it up, Bitches! ;)
