New Year's Resolutions
#13
I don't make resolutions, but I do make plans for what I would like to accomplish. Making resolutions seems to set me up for failure. This year I hope to finally come up with a plan for my daughter's Purdue quilt. I have purchased more than ample fabric over the past two years so that is not a problem. My stumbling block:) is that she sketched a design that is hard to develop with basically two colors. It's also queen size, but she would like the drop to be a little longer. I'm hoping to talk her into a bed skirt instead. I used to make them for an interior designer and think I remember how I did it...no pattern. I really hoping I can manage large amounts of fabric again.
Maybe I should make a resolution to not ramble on so much.:) Oops, forgot about the failure thing!

Quilting Resolutions:
o re-fold my fabrics via the tute.
o Sew my scraps (can no longer close the scrap bin drawer!) into string quilts (via bonnie hunter)
o do Not make decisions to create quilts for personal occasions (i.e., birthdays, holidays, etc...). Just enjoy the quilting process and the learning of new techniques. I need a year of that.
o treat my WIPs as BOMs.

Try to get the house organized enough so I can set up my sewing room - so I can use all the beautiful patterns I have found that I want to make with all the gorgeous fabric I have in my stash
Also lose weight - so I can fit in more than 2 pairs of jeans in my walkin closet

yes! I intend to make myself some quilts this year, and some Christmas themed quilts, embroidered quilts, and table and tree things. I always quilt for other family members, and still have more to go. Maybe I can have it all finished by next Christmas.
