Rachel I believe in you. You can do it! My quilting resolution is to complete at least two of the many unfinished quilt projects "hanging out" in the sewing room, ha. I also hope to spend at least 30 minutes a day doing some form of creative outlet. That could be quilting, stitchery, knitting or applique. Happy New Year to you and yours!
Looks like you have as many BOM quilts as I do! I think you can meet all your goals! My goals for2009...I am going to tackle my UFOs and reduce my stash. Happy New Year!!
Tackle them one at a time and you'll get them done! My resolution? Try again to master free motion quilting.
Oh, I have so many quilt resolutions...I'm trying to get them written up today! But a couple are to work on needle-turn applique' and free-motion quilting!
free motion quilting is my goal for the new year
Great giveaway! Mine starts on Friday so please stop by.
I hope that the new year holds many wonderful possibilities for you.
Great list my quilt resolutions is to pray yours gets done...happy new year
My quilt resolution is to make a king sized quilt for my bedroom this year.
My quilting resolution: I would like to think that I will do wall hangings for many bare walls in our new home that we moved into this past July. I have only done one for the bathroom thus far. My motto for 2009 "just sew".
My quilting resolution is to make my first quilt! I sew lots, but have never attempted a quilt.. time to be brave!! :D
My quilting challenge this year is to finish the quilts I've made. I have quite a few put together and all they need is borders and quilting. That is a BIG challenge.
My resolution is to learn how to quilt- I learned how to sew this year, but have nit attempted quilting yet. I guess that's why I will start small, right?
Happy New Year!

Happy New Years!!
Wow - you are ambitious.
I would be happy to finish up a couple of the projects I started last year, and I would like to make a Christmas wall hanging for me.
rsgrandinetti@yahoo.com
Finish the 3 quilts started and use 1/2 of materials I have on hand BEFORE buying more (thats the hard part)
Also have 3 or more BOM to do sorry didn't leave e-mail last time
I would like to quilt something for myself.
tcook43@gmail.com
My main resolution is to get my stash under control, I swear the fabric is mating when I'm sleeping. It seems like it is going to take over the house and maybe the garage too.
Sue Cahill (sbonetsue at yahoo dot com)

Happy New Year Rachel, love to be in the draw for your giveaway. My resolution for 2009 is to try and make as many as my Dear Jane blocks as possible.Some are tricky. Regards Lyn
That is a great list and I think with your energy, you'll do it!
I have a few resolutions.
1. Quilt from the stash. Less buying = more quilting. Really, all I need to buy for a very long time is batting and maybe some kona cottons to do sashing and/or backing.
2. Practice & more practice mitred corners and machine stippling.
3. Do a hand-quilted project. Just to see and feel the difference.
4. Donate some quilts to school fundraisers.
That's it! Thanks for your giveaway! Come back to my blog...I miss your enthusiastic comments.
Tina
Love the bag! Hmmm...my quilting resolutions is just ... do more quilting!

Hello Rachel!
That is a monster of a list! But you can do it! I have a huge one also! Anyway one of my quilting resolution is to make a quilt using all the fabric scraps my grandmother cleaned out of her sewing room and brought over and said make a quilt! So I have that to do along with 100 other things!
This Pick a Pocket purse has just got to be the cutest thing I have ever seen! I would love to carry it!
Thanks so much for the great chance!
~Brooke
I plan on finishing all the quilts I have fabric for right now by the time we move in August. I hope it happens!
your list is huge!! You go girl!
Just found your blog - and I'm looking forward to checking it out more. My resolutions are:
1. make 3 quilts using the embriodered quilt squares my Grandma made.
2. Make/ finish the three quilts that I have almost all the fabric four
3. practice free motion quilting on my new sewing machine
My quilting resolutions are to finalize the redo of my studio and to learn how to use the frame I just set up for quilting.
That, and working on many other projects that I have the 'stuff' for but haven't actually tackled yet. lol

Good luck with your 2009 goals. :) If you put your mind to it you can definitely complete it!
I have a few resolutions for this year, but one is to try to make some of the pretty quilts I've drawn up on EQ6. :)
Happy New Year!
Oh fun! As a young girl I quilted a lot with my grandma. She'd mail me fabric squares and I'd sew them together and mail them back - we'd do this until we had our quilt top made. it was really a lot of fun. Now that I'm grown with 2 kids, I'd love to get back into quilting!! So that's my goal for this year!!! Wish me luck! :)
libby_design at yahoo dot com
That is a pretty long list. Look forward to seeing each one done. I have one resolution and that is to hand applique a tree skirt I made in 2008. Happy New Year.
I have an unfinished fall table runner that I would like to finish in 2009! Thanks for the chance. Good luck with your very, very long list!
My goals include finishing a quilt for my Mom and working more on my tshirt quilt.
I'm sure I'll have more goals as time goes on!
My goal is to finish the wall hanging I have that is 1/2 done.
Hi Rachel, Happy New Year! We seem to have a few things in common, I just taught myself to quilt, and am newly addicted! I would like to learn more on the quilting front this year! Please enter me in your contest. Thank you!

A quilting resolution??? I have always wanted to try a Cathedral window quilt and I think this should be the year. I am sure it will be small unless I get really carried away. Happy new year.
My quilting resolution? Enjoy the old quilts I've collected. That's probably the only resolution I'd actually keep! :-)
My quilty resolution is to finish my UFO's before starting any new projects, but I have a feeling that it is going to be VERY hard to keep!
I can never have too many pockets in a purse, so that purse is for me...I'm sure of it. One of my quilting resolutions is to pick out 4 or 5 of my MANY quilting books from the shelf and do at least one project from EACH of them. My list isn't as ambitious as yours, but if anyone can do that size list, it is YOU, Girlfriend!!! :) Hope you visited my Jan. 1 post on my blog and entered my giveaway, too. I have your blog as one I follow and it is on my sidebard.
What a cool bag - I need TONS of pockets in a bag, and this one has them!!
I hope to actually START quilting this year! lol

I resolve to finish the Stone House and my new sewing room so that I can finish many quilting projects.
djsloan1953@yahoo.com
I resolve to join no online swaps till I have put together the blocks from past swaps (I can list 5 off the top of my head)...there may be more. Thanks for participating in the giveaway. I would gift the purst to my college age daughter....she is so purse 'chic'. This will be great!
My quilting resolution is to be brave and try new things I think I can't do. Thanks for having this giveaway! :0)
I am hoping to get my longarm quilting business really going. And to still have some time to sew for me.
My quilting resolution for 2009 is to finish several
UFO's and to clean out and organize my sewing/craft room. Thank you for entering me in your giveaway. The bag is really nice.
lraetaylor@gmail.com
I just learned to knit and I hope to make my daughter a poncho next. I love the bag!
What a fun giveaway! I've listed all my quilty resolutions on my blog, but one of them is to learn new skills this year! I'm thinking of adding the calendar quilt to my 2009 list of quilts!
Cheers,
Dionne
I just started quilting and am not very good! But I think by the end of the year, I might get the hang of it.
I would like to finish all the quilts I have started. Love the bag.
Lynne
I would like to finish...my bow tie quilt. And others!
Love the purse! My goal is to make this a year of quilting and so far I'm on the right track. I am 1/3 of the way done piecing my 1st king size quilt!
My quilting resolution is easy. I just want to learn how to quilt. :)
Cute bag. My resolution for quilting is fairly easy. I joined the finish a project a month challenge and am going to use up my stash so I can buy new fabric.:)I think you can do it if you make a couple of blocks a week on each bom you will have them all done in no time.
I resolve to finish all the center blocks of my Dear Jane quilt. Thanks for the chance to win!
I don't quilt (and w/ a new baby due in April, I don't think 2009 will be the year I learn LOL), can I have a knitting resolution instead? I'm really hoping to get at least 3, ideally 5 more wool diaper covers knitted before baby's born in April.
One of my quilting resolutions (goals) is to quilt my scrappy churn dash quilt..finally also use up as much of my stash as I can this year!!!
Happy New Year and wishing you the best with your long list!!
Lola
Resolutions....I'm thinking goals! I would like to make and donate at least 6 quilts to Quilts of Valor for our military and reduce the stash I already own by half....it may be that easy with the economy the way it is. My goal is also to finally make a new Christmas tree skirt....I say that every year!
One of my goals for the year is to use up a box of fabrics I don't love anymore!
My quilting goal is to finish one quilting project per month. I have to finish 2 unfinished, but loved projects before I can begin a new one.
Thanks for participating in this blog giveaway!
First I wish you a happy new year . Please give my name to the give away box.
My only resolution this year is to finish severall UFO´s. I joined agroup to do this.
Greeting Guilitta from Germany
That is quite a list!!! I hope you can accomplish all of them.
My resolution is to spend a lot more time in my sewing room and being productive. I have lots of projects too that need to be made!
libertythreads@charter.net
My list would look like that, too, if I wrote them all down. Happy New Year. I hope to tackle one UFO a month during the new year.
What to join forces on completing your projects? I have all my unfinished quilts listed on my blog. I am going to complete one, before allowing myself to start another. I invited anyone that wants too, to join me. I will add their name and list to my sidebar.
That way we can push each other! lol
Tisgingy@msn.com
my resolution, is to not take on more than I can handle!
good luck right? ;-)
cute blog!
I love that bag!!! I thought about making one, but decided I didn't have the time. I'd love to own one....and I'm certainly not picky about fabrics!! LOL I'd like to finish up more projects. I've got so many quilt tops started and I need to get them finished up! That's my plan!
Wow, you've got quite the list going! I'm not as energetic as you are though. I'd like to quilt 2 quilts that are only tops, make a baby quilt and, together with my sisters, make a king-sized quilt for my parents.
My quilting resolution is to finish cutting squares for a corduroy quilt from the scraps I have from my husband's late grandmother and to put the quilt together. I also want to finish the quilt we inherited from that same grandmother - she cut all of the pieces and assembled one square, but never finished it.
sras7508 at gmail dot com
My Quilting goals this year are many. 1. bust 104 yards more than I purchase this year. 2. finish 12 UFO's. 3. Start and finish 2 dream projects this year. 4. complete my Calendar Quilt 2009!

My quilting resolution is to actually get in my sewing room and sew. So many things seem to get in the way of this.
I too would love to finish up my bom quilts, retreat quilts and get the tops quilted that I have completed!! That's all and that's enough :) Kathie k.bugbee@att.net
My quilting resolution is to get my quilts done for my boys' beds. I have all the blocks finished, and need to assemble them, and quilt them. I've had the fabric for a long time, so these are past due.

My quilting resolution is to finish several UFOs (for example, a wedding quilt I started 1 1/2 yrs ago and a quilt I started for my husband 4 years ago) while I grow creatively in other areas of quilting (art quilts, fabric painting...). I'm looking forward to doing something creative every day, even if it's something small.
Kim
Thanks for the opportunity to win that adorable Pick a Pocket Tote. Your blog is great and I want to make your Yum-o Veggie Pizza. Take it one day at a time and you'll finish all those quilts in no time. My resolution, rather my goal is to finish up some of those UFO's in my pile.

Number one quilting resolution for this year is to make my very first quilt that I get to KEEP! I have given away every quilt I've ever made. This year is my year to snuggle in my own quilt!
My resolution this year is to finish the projects I'm working on before I start new ones (and then to keep to a maximum of three projects at a time).
ikkinlala AT yahoo DOT ca
WOW...good luck on that list. My quilting resolutions are to use at least 1/3 of my current stash, to try new patterns, and to keep sewing. Thanks for the giveaway.
I am working on my resolutions with an open mind that even if I don't make it through the end of the year each day I do make it will be a better day for it.
My Resolutions:
Try to use my stash, as I work on projects say a prayer for the receipient, try to make more of my gifts this year and also to try to learn new skills and perfect others but only to the point where I can still enjoy my hobbies
i would love to win this! my email is codiandtim@gmail.com and my blog is deathbydenim.blogspot.com
my quilty resolution is to finish one! anyone really, i'm a newbie, with 4 in the works and none are finished:)
I am positive you can make your goals. I would like to finish at least 5 UFOs and start a couple of patterns I have had for a long time. Happy 2009!!! P.S. I love to see the Pogues on your blog.!!!
Rachel what an impressive list! I wish you well - just do a little bit every day and you'll be well on your way to finishing those BOMs.
My resolution is to machine quilt and bind at least 4 of my quilt tops this year. It sounds do-able, right?!?
jeri.mihm@sbcglobal.net
Hi Rachel, Happy New Year.
Wow, that's quite a list, I'll be back to check on you, to see the progress.
Mine's not that big, double wedding ring quilt, and loads of stitcheries.
cheers Julz
My main quilting resolution is to learn to do free-motion stippling.
Have a great year
myzbarb(at)yahoo(dot)com
My quilting resolution is to finish the anniversary quilt that I began 11 years ago! Oh I'm so ashamed to even mention it ... but there it is! And I'll get to it as soon as I finish the project I just started! LOL
Smiles,
Lea
Hi Rachel! Great of you to have this giveaway. My resolution: finish my daughter's quilt by the summer of this year! I'm in for the calendar challenge!
I resolve to finish something - even if it's small - BEFORE starting something new. To remind myself FINISHED is better. Less UFO's + Less Stash = More Satisfaction. Less IS more? ;)
Signing up for the Calendar Challenge would not be breaking resolutions already. Right?
I'm struggling to get my stash and my scraps in order, so that is my resolution!
agnetaquiltar@gmail.com
Goal? To get a stash! Thanks for the giveaway!
My quilt resolution is to finish an UFO each month! I had the same one last year!
Warm winter wishes!
doni @ Oregon coast
I'd like to finish 5 quilts this year. Doesn't sound like much, but the way I never finish anything LOL. thanks for entering me! nikimcn@hotmail.com
My resolution? Quilt mainly from my stash (which is considerable).
Good Luck to everyone in your resolutions.

i'm going to be making a pink baby blanket this year so i hope i can do it!
texan_michael(AT)yahoo(DOT)com
My quilting resolution is to finish my ufo's and don't buy anything until everything is finished. I hope I can stick to it
My 2009 quilting resolution is to actually make a quilt. Last year I planned a doll quilt for my niece, but never actually did it. I've never quilted before, so I think if I start small it will be less frustrating and more apt to be finished.
Goodness, girl!! That is some list! I have quite a list too, but the main objective this year is to finish hand quilting my queen size quilt for my bed.
So many unfinished projects! I have so many tops that need quilting! I want to quilt all my stuff. My own bed quilt has been done for 4 years buts never quilted. I only send ones off to be done that I will be giving away. I don't know how many projects are in different stages so I have resolved that I must do those and only do small projects in between the old ones. I need to practice self discipline and that goes for buying fabric just because I like it or it is on sale too. I think this challenge will be fun as there arent lots of rules and restrictions. Getting started tonight!
My goal is to get my first patterns and my little web shop ready.
CUTE bag! My quilting resolution is to make something larger than a pillow lol!
New Year resolution---clean my sewing room! so when I get a chance to work on something--I can find what I need. Please enter me to win the bag--that's a neat pattern. Angie
My quilting resolution is to finish my very first quilt! Thanks =)
One of my resolutions it to finish at least one more quilt than I start. I can't just keep adding to my UFO stash.
You can do it!
My goal is to make one quilt! My first ever!
~ Amy
Rachel, I'm a list-maker too! You go, girl. My resolution is to finish projects before starting new ones. This will be tough for me! Thanks for the chance to win the bag. Lynnosborne[at]verizon[dot]net

My New Year's Quilt resolution is to either finish all my UFOs, or give them away unfinished!
Happy New Year, and let the challenge begin. LOL
I've already started my resolution. I wanted to reorganize my quilt studio. I'm thrilled to report I'm 85% done. Feb/Mar should allow me to finish. It's such a relief. Thanks.
Mmmm.... my resolution is to complete my nine tops that have been shelved for almost two years...but i am crazy doing bags and purses now.... help me.
Happy New Year Rachel.

I do not quilt, but I plan this year to do my darndest to learn. I do lots of embroidery and would like to incorporate them both together. I am getting all of the tools together that I will need and plan to start as soon as my craft room is cleaned up.
Blessings,Joann
My quilting resolution is to take my son in-laws crown royal quilt from the planning stage to the actual making stage and get it done for Christmas 2009

Wow! That's quite a list you have there! My resolution is to finish at least one of my UFOs per month. Cool bag!
My goal is to finish a few projects while I'm wintering in Florida! Ha! Brought bins of fabric and patterns - now to find the time!
My goal is to finish 1 quilt a month. It may not seam like much but I am a new quilter.
Hello Rachel-love your comments on family. My quilting resolution is to finish all items I started for family but have not finished-so today it was a Christmas "NOEL" swag for my mother-in-law (took six years!!), next is quilt for my daughter, flannel throw for my husband and cookbook cover for my mom. Cheers
lmm_mull@hotmail.com

Thanks for a great giveaway--I'd love to win this!
I sew, but have never attempted a quilt...my resolution is to start and finish one--I hope to accomplish this!
lindagregsmith(at)gmail(dot)com
to finish 5 quilts (by hand)
This is the second time that I've visited your blog this afternoon - the first was to discover and join the Calendar quilt challenge. You are a very bad influence, I think! ;-)
My resolution is kinda fuzzy at the edges - but I think it's to make more scrap quilts this year. I've realized that even if I don't open my fabric closet, I have enough bits and pieces laying around my sewing room to make multiple quilts!

My resolutionis to finish the Ohio start quilt I started years ago!
My resolution is to make a quilt this year with my mom. Never tried it, but think it would be a great challenge.
My quilting resolution is to make one quilt, start to finish, just for me! I never finish the things for myself!
I only made one resolution this year. I want to finish my UFOs. That is a big job since I have so many but this is the year to finish things up!
My quilt resolution is to finish all my UFOs and there are a few. I'm gonna start with the quilt for my bed I think. Happy New Year!

Rachael, my resolution is nothing more than just to try to find more quilting time. I have trouble with that. I seem to always put that luxury off till last. Thanks for entering me it the drawing.
Wow... that is some list! I'm sure you can do it!
I really don't make any New Year resolution 'cause I never stick to it. However, the only goal I might make is to finish a large quilt for me... no promises though. lol
My quilting resolution is to actually finish one of the ones I've started! :)
my quilting resolution is to create a quilted runner for each gift on my list for Christmas 2009....

Rachel, I hope you get at least some of your projects done. That's a pretty big list for most people but a mother of 3? Whew. I wish you all the luck for productive sewing! I have 15 UFO's on a list and hope to have 5 done by June. All we have to do is get busy, right? :o)

Quilting resolution? Well, since my theme for this year is "thrifty", I would say I will finish 5 of my many UFOs this year. I hope to finish more, but I WILL finish five for sure.
I just have two resolutions this year......quilts for two of my grandsons....
I'd NEVER make it through a list like yours....*S*
Happy 2009!
Some of my sewing resolutions include finishing some of my UFO's. I also want to learn to make fabric postcards and make another applique project.
Thanks for participating in this wonderful giveaway. I'd love to have your bag....as would many other gals!!

Thanks for the giveaway. Love your blog. Linda
YOU GO GIRL!!! sounds like my kind of fun. But what do i know i'm a beginner. I do love handbags. A girl can NEVER have enough, and I say you need original, because everyone is carrying the same bag, but not me.
thanks, gunnymom86@yaho.com
Thanks for the giveaway! My quilting resolution is really give machine quilting a try and not always give up and then try to hand quilt everything. No wonder I don't get much actually finished!
Hi, My big quilting resolution for 2009 is to learn machine quilting and not tie another quilt. I started by machine quilting a potholder for starters. After making over 80 quilts, it's high time, right?
My resolution is to finish some of the unfinished projects in my sewing room and to make a quilt for the three new babies coming into our family this year.
My quilty resolution is to finish what I start this year. Rather than start and put in a bucket!
One of my quilting resolutions is to actually make something with all that fabric I bought last year. I especially love the charm packs and layer cakes. Thanks for including me in the giveaway.
