the 2021 project finish list

Last year I pulled together a list of 10 projects I wanted to complete, and this list is the 2021 edition

The first three projects are left over from last year's project list and include

  1. worsted wool gown - Finish the 18th-century worsted wool gown
  2. Finish hand quilting a utility quilt - the orange marmalade one 
  3. Bind two matching green quilts - the binding is at least cut. 
The remaining 7 projects are 

4. Garter Yoke sweater - saw a picture of a finished one, but the pattern was outrageously expensive, so I'm kind of making it up as I go. One of the sleeves is done. It has both sleeves, and part of the body. Right now it's hibernating.

5. An 18th century silk gown - there's no post for this, but it was started

6. Quilt a panel quilt - I ripped the old border off and put on a new one  3/13/2021
This project was completed (except for the border)  along with two others I didn't intend to work on but was able to get done. I used a bamboo blend for the batting and it has the best drape of any of the quilts I have done on a machine. 



















7. Quilt an Americana quilt - its in one piece now












8. finish knitting a wool cowl with handspun yarn 2/13/2021
This was gifted to someone, and I forgot to take a picture

9. Complete a wool capelet - I don't think I need the wool for this, but I may need silk...

10. (I don't actually have a 10th project!)
