NONE. Yes, when you quilt for others, there is little time left for your own quilting. That is why I don't miss quilting for others anymore.

This is mine: and I hope others pick up on it! When I see this I make a point of doing something nice.

So far all I've done is either hunt for a new house or pack in preparation to move. Landlords are selling and they gave me a whole 17 days notice to move. I'm 11 days late and counting.

If I was to make any kind of resolutions, it would be to quit saying I've got to do something with a large tote box of tops that need backing, batting, and quilted and just get it done.:)

yikes...Stitch, that just doesn't seem fair. I wish you all the best... it certainly is a challenging time of year to move.

You should have renters rights. Check your lease.

Oh my, that sounds so painful. I hope you have a speedy recovery

I think lots of us are in the same boat. My last few months were busy and hectic as my daughters twins decided to be born 2 months early and after a month in the hospital they came home and a few weeks later her whole family, which has 4 kids in it now moved in with me. I had to rearrange my whole house. I had been sleeping downstairs due to foot surgery in Aug so I kept that room even though its really small and gave them the two upstairs. I had to move things around alot just to have a large tree, which when there are kids you have to do. It hasn't stopped. I haven't sewen anything except a fast throw for my grandson for Christmas. I can't even find alot of my stuff since the two bedrooms downstairs were my sewing, serging, felting, sashiko, etc rooms. A few more months and hopefully I'll have my house back to myself.
