Updated TO-DO List

I found a few things I missed when I made up my 2022 TO-DO List. The TO-DO list is for items that are not quilt related or quilting items have been handed over to me to make such as t-shirt quilts or you might say new projects for the year. I added items 6 thru 10. After all, five items on a TO-DO list is a pretty lame list! LOL!! I got pictures of all my TO-DO and UFO projects taped on a door with one UFO project already done and moved over to the right side.

1. Re-do Kris's quilt. I need to take this apart, repair the areas where the brocade fabric has frayed at the seams, and then quilt and bind it. It is a small quilt so it shouldn't take me long to do this.

2. Harley t-shirt quilt - I would like to get this one done by March.

3. King sized t-shirt quilt - this is a commission, but with no deadline. I would like to get it done by April.

4. Graduation quilt - need to have this done by end of May/first of June

5. A baby quilt and a larger quilt for a co-worker of my sister. Need for May. I don't have any color suggestions right now. I hope I have something in my stash that will work.

6. Green embroidered blocks. I don't know how these came into my possession. They even came with the matching green fabric for sashing! I have had these for years (I have no idea how long though) and I need to turn them into a quilt.

7. Reline my denim jacket. I have needed to do this for years and I am going to get it done! The lining is falling apart at the neck and the pocket is a disaster. There are numerous holes scattered in the lining. The sleeve lining is in great shape so at least I don't have to rip the sleeve lining out. I also need to do some boro stitching at a couple of places on the denim especially at the pockets. I love this jacket so I am happy to spend the time to get it back in good shape.

8. Repair Michael's pants. My nephew had a blow out in a favorite pair of pants so I need to get these fixed. I don't think it will take long. I just have to sit down and do it! I have had these since last fall.

9. reline Dave's leather jacket. I have let this job languish for way too long. I have had this laying around for a very long time. I recently found out about a product for conditioning leather so I plan on getting some for this jacket. The leather is a bit stiff. This jacket belonged to Dave's father so it is sentimental. I have the lining fabric - not sure where it is right now. This job is going to be a challenge.

10. Fix amp cover. This cover belongs to my nephew and it has been sitting around for awhile. I just need to fix it and get it done!

Last night I did some digging to find some fabric for the lining of my denim jacket. I needed something that was heavier than quilting cotton. I debated on several fabrics - flannel, linen, Essex cotton - but I settled on this Marimekko fabric from 1989 that I had bought at an estate sale for a couple dollars. I think it will be a fun lining and the fabric weight is just right.
