For the blog, I want to up the friendly and helpful factor. Make a menu bar, make pages for Tutorials and have more links to fun stuff for you and the fam.
For me, I want to take more walks just to explore. Walks in moonlight, walks with the Dawg,
and The Hubster,
Wee Wanders, you know!
| Denali From the trail in our backyard |
Out wandering, exploring and seeing this beautiful World in which we live.
For Sewing, well...
But it's too easy to set simple goals, post them, and then hope to win a prize, so Anita at Day Dreams of Quilts and I got together and we're hosting a THROWDOWN!!! (#sewmystashthrowdown)
| Oh no, This is not all of it... Not by a loooonnngg shot ;) |
That's right!! You and a friend get together and challenge each other to actually, really, no foolin', finish the project that you said you would, in that month. The one who doesn't, sends the one who does, a little somethin' somethin'. What do you think?? Want to join us??! I'm pretty sure many of my gifts will be bawdy, but yours can be anything you like, sweet and pretty, thrifty, silly, whatever delights your imagination!
So, here it is. My January list. You heard it here first.
- Complete piecing the top of my quilt for Fat Quarterly Curved Piecing Issue. This is SO exciting! I can't wait to fill you in on it more!
| Hmmm! Liking where this is going! Will the final project bear any resemblance?? |
Check your inboxes for the February Paper Piecing Issue, cause I have a Fun project for you in there, too!! Woot!!
- Continue to stretch and grow and enjoy design.
- Begin to design Maui Dreamin' Quilt
Sewing:
- BitchesGetStitches Swap. I have a great idea for a sweet mini quilt. Now's the time to put that idea into action! Slightly rude, but mostly calming...
- Microwave bowls. These are so handy!! Why didn't I see them sooner??! I am forever reaching for a kitchen towel to get hot soup/beverages out of the microwave. Why not just microwave the bowl of goodness right there in the transport device??! Brilliant!
- Hashtag blocks for Molli Sparkles
Blog:
- Tutorials for Fat Quarterly Paper Piecing Issue - super point by point pics of paper piecing my project for beginners. I hope you'll love it!
