A little hustle in your step... well more like sewing

Over at Kelsey Sews, Kelsey is awesomely hosting a 100 day Hustle link up.  You see, she kindly pointed out that as of September 22, there are 100 days left of the year.  Yikes!  I can't believe that is all that is left of the year.  Where did it go?!?

So I have decided to link up.  I love lists and I like even more being able to cross things off a list.  And I have a huge growing number of projects that I really need to get done.

Here we go...

1. Complete horse show ribbon quilt.  This is my total number one thing to do! - Done!
   
2. Haunted house mini quilt for LQS (This has to be done before October 9) - Done!

3. T-shirt quilt.  Just got the shirts, but I need to get this done

4. Matt's space quilt - currently a box full of space fabrics and an awesome sheet with space theme I found for the back.  This will be twin size and his Christmas gift.  The only thing with the back is I have to decide if I will use the fun sheet or if I will go with fleece.  He has pointed out to me many times that his favorite part of his baby I made him quilt is the fleece on the back.


5. Mom's blue quilt.  This will be made of 2.5" squares and the blues will fade like waves.  Planning for this to be 80"x80" and her Christmas gift.  I have all the fabrics (they fill an entire reusable bag from my LQS!).


6. Finish Mom's hand stitched pillows.  I started these quite some time ago and they got pushed aside (... actually to the bottom of the blue quilt bag of fabrics.)

7. Work on my kayak quilt design.


8. Patchwork chevron with Lucy's Crab Shack - Not even started.

9. Christmas charm quilt - I have a ton of charms cut for it.

10. Quilt for Aunt Carol for Christmas.

11. Christmas things for my two sisters.  (I have no idea what to make them yet!)

I am also adding to the list... learn to use my good friend Linda's quilting machine.  She has had it for quite some time and she has never used it!  So I will move into her sewing room (aka basement) and in the most selfless, benevolent, charitable way I will learn to use her machine... you know... so I can show her how to use it... not so that I can quilt the pile of tops that I will be accumulating as I complete this list, nope not at all.

I think I have a few more things on my to-do list that I can't remember at the moment, but I am sure I will remember them eventually.

So I am linking up to Kelsey's 100 Day Hustle.  Wish me luck on crossing off things on my list!
