I'm astounded at how long it's been since I last posted.
Oh well.
I have a few new goals for the year.
they are as follows...
1) Clean and organize my sewing room
-so I can actually sew in it.
2) finish 6 things I'd started before this year
-quilting, sewing, knitting, etc.
3) participate in a challenge -from the pod cast "Quilting for the rest of us"
-involves using fabrics from the stash.
4) work on the "Art Quilts Workbook"
-by Jane Davila & Elin Waterston
I have a few other goals for the year,
that involve healthier living.
I choose 1 thing and work on it until I feel I have it mastered,
and then I will choose another thing.
The first thing I chose to work on is Soda.
I am trying to no longer drink Soda.
I have to admit that since I've set that goal,
I have drank 3 soda's (not all at once)
and so I feel I'm still working on that one.
Meanwhile,
I was tossing out a magazine...
and my grandson found a picture of a pillow in it
that he wanted me to make as a gift for his sister.
It was "First for women" 2/8/2010
I have a photo of the finished pillow if I can remember how to post it.
I have also been working on finishing a wall hanging
I'd begun nearly 2 years ago.
It's an applique project I'm calling "mouse house" for now.
I'm in the quilting stage -doing hand quilting for a change.
Then of course will finish it off with the binding.
So- thus far this year,
I've made that pillow -a new project using mostly stash fabrics.
I'm getting close to finishing that wall hanging -a project I'd started before this year.
I'll post that one and talk about it when I've got it done.
