I'm so excited. This year I may actually make my goal of a quilted item for each of my siblings, each of my kids, and each of my nieces and nephews families. I've already completed 4 table runners, and have several more cut out and ready to piece together. I've paper pieced 12 hot pads so far - another 12 to go, and then of course quilting them and finishing, but I've got SUCH a great start compared to previous years. Not having to get up and go to work each morning is WONDERFUL!!!!!!
