Jilly's PhD's

I spent a great deal of time this last year stalking Myra's blog. I say stalking because I visited so often, I thought I was a follower. Come to find out I was hopping over from Joanne's at Threadhead.

Well this time I decided to join in, as I too have many projects in serious need of completing in this lifetime. I have only committed to 3, as we may be moving come June. We would love to leave San Diego, but the thought of packing and unpacking doesn't thrill me one bit.

Here are the projects I hope will complete.

First project:

My son's t-shirt quilt. I first planned this as a second project, but with the slim possibility of moving, I may be without my machine for a bit. Many "skateboarding" shirts, as that was his life for a time. The yellow shirt in the forefront was his favorite. As the black started to fade, he darken it up with a sharpie marker;-)

Second project:

Mr. Wonderful's ugly scrap lap quilt. I started making hexis about this time last year to stay busy, when his job asked him to work "a few" nights here and there, to help out. A year later and he is still working two nights a week. So I picked up some of my ugly scraps and didn't think I would make anything, but the bigger it became, the more Mr. Wonderful loved it, so his it will be. To date I have 237 hexis stitched together, with about 300 more to go, then I will hand quilt.

Third Project:

Another "keep me busy at night" project started last year. I would really like to finish this, as it will be part of a display of Mr. Wonderful's mementos from his time in the Navy.

And if I have time, I hope to complete the following.

My Wal-Mart Cheater quilt. Bought this fabric there last year and I've been hand quilting in hopes it will look more "real". Once done it will be the perfect size tablecloth for our dining table.

Looking forward to cheering everyone on, and seeing all the completed projects.

blessings,
