Welcome 2012!

Happy New Year everyone!  We ushered the new year in nice and quietly around here - just they way I like it!  Hope you got to enjoy it in your favourite way, too!


Even though I had high hopes yesterday of actually getting another 2011 finish done before the clock ran out, it was not to be.

Drop in was a good time chatting and visiting, with not so much sewing taking place!  Today, well maybe I'll start the year off with a first finish?  We'll see!


My focus in 2011 was to work on my FMQ - I think I had a successful year, and look forward to doing even more practice this year, and with SewCalGal's 2012 FMQ Challenge to keep me going, I am already anticipating a good year!  A big goal for me this year is to do a wholecloth quilt - and have it ready for the Blue Mountain Quilter's Guild quilt show this October.  I have also committed (should be committed?) to working out of my stash and trying to whittle it down a little.  Hopefully, there will be some string quilts and scrap quilts making an appearance this year!  I joined a Stashbusters group over on the MQResource site to keep me going on this one!


Here's just a little of what I accomplished in 2011 - see my sidebar for a more complete listing, if you are interested!

A few of my favourite 2011 finishes

Not included in this mosaic are any of my Tangled Textiles Challenge pieces, or any postcards for the 4x6er's group, as well as a variety of smaller projects completed for swaps or just because!


I am looking forward to a productive and fun 2012 - I hope you are too!


Happy quilting!
