Then, hopefully, FMQ. I've got a couple table runners and a quilt top that's long overdue... it was supposed to go to its new home in September! But the pattern BEGS for extra leaves on it... Hopefully I'll be posting it, finished, soon!

Aren't we silly sometimes?!! I had a quilt cut out for a couple of years, just sitting waiting for me to be brave enough to sew. It was curved also (maybe even rob Peter to pay Paul). Last year I made myself sit down and at least give it a try. WOW, it came out perfect, and it was fairly easy, I finished all the blocks quickly. Sometimes we imagine things to be far worse than they end up being, lesson learned, I hope!!

I made myself sit down and just do it... and it's great! I did one whole curve, and it's perfect, and I'm so excited!
Okay, so I know this is silliness, but doesn't it feel just GREAT to conquer a fear?!

I made a Drunkards Path last year for the Hoffman Challenge... scared me to DEATH after I had decided to do it....
It was EASY!!!
