Quilter's Attention Deficit

I don't know if it's because it's spring, or it's just a pattern of behavior, but I have so, so many projects that I want to make. I'm not sure where to start. Maybe I have attention deficit disorder?

Liberty Fields from Material Obsession

These two that I played with in EQ7.

Plus the three UFOs that I have already started, Buckeye Beauty, String X, and my blue and white Hovering Hawks. Then there are the four knitting projects that I want to work on.

This is a shawl from Ravelry. It's a free pattern, but you do have to join Ravelry to be able to get it.













Then there are the socks knit two at a time on circular needles. It's a technique that I've never tried, but it avoids the second sock syndrome. I also want to make a long sleeved cardigan and a short sleeved, lacy summer cardigan.

Tack on to my list of things I want to make for myself are the eleven quilts that I need to quilt for customers. I think I need to learn to prioritize. What do you think?

What's on my design wall?

Nothing new with the flying geese, but I have started a couple of new take along projects.
This is in the November/December issue of Fons and Porter's Love of Quilting.

This is as far as I've gotten. Obviously, it won't be ready for this Christmas. It is fun though to work on something seasonal during the actual season that it is for. I always have a hard time working on Christmas things in July.









I also started a new pair of socks. No big surprise there.
They are from the book Socks a la Carte. It's a flip book. You pick the cuff, leg and foot that you want. You're supposed to put elastic around the pages to hold your choices, but the elastic on my book doesn't reach the pages. Still it's a fun idea.







I've also been working on my Quilt Whisperer homework. Quilt Whisperer is an online class being offered through MQ Resource.
Nothing wonderful yet. I'm hoping I'll get better.

What's on my design wall?

I've been plugging away at pressing and trimming up the flying geese units that I made at the Temecula Quilt Show. I've decided that I like this block, but I think the blocks need sashing between them. It seems too busy without the separation.










I also started making these blocks for this quilt. I need to keep some handwork with me for those unexpected down times, and waiting rooms.
Applique Outside the Lines is from the Piece 'o Cake team, Becky Goldsmith and Linda Jenkins.







I also keep knitting with me. I'm almost finished with these socks. I just have a few more rows of the toe to do. The pattern is a free one from Knitting Daily. They are the Broken Cable Socks. I think my teaching buddy Karen is getting these.
