That would be the same New Years resolution for me! Besides quilting I also make scrapbooks. I am really behind in them. Maybe like 3 grandchildren behind!

Hope you come back pinkflowers!!!

I am considering joining again for another year. I have lots of fabric, and enjoyed the swap.

My plan for the New Year is no new fabric purchases and to wisely budget my time. Yep, same plan as last January.

I need to do better this year. Wish me luck!

Have fun ladies.

Pinkflowers, I think we all have that same resolution. So far, and it is January 5, I am on track. No new fabric. Check! I layered a UFO for quilting. Check! I laid out my exchange block quilt and pieced it except for one row. Check! I feel accomplished. I should have those two close to finished in the next few days. My personal guiding principle for 2018 is one UFO done, then I can start a new quilt. It will work for a while but I do have a baby quilt, actually three baby quilts that need to be constructed. One is for a January birth! Yikes! I need to get going.

So Good Luck on your 2018 plan!

It is also my New Year's resolution for 2018 -- NO NEW FABRIC! My sewing room is at capacity with all manner of fabric, patterns, notions, kits, ideas...... We'll see how I stick to it. Right now until I see my 2017 tax burden (ahem), I am definitely laying low! I'm determined that this next year's gifts will all be of the quilting variety. Wish me luck.....

Received today from: sunrise450 and LuciaLPL.

Thank you!

Package shipped today to aborning.

If Jack Frost has come for a visit to your neck of the woods (like mine), stay warm and inside - quilting!

Oh, Barb. What you say is true. I’m watching the list of names grow and getting a little nervous! Looked just this morning to see how many “new to this group” fabrics I have. There are quite a few. So maybe. Maybe.

I have not crossed you out yet!
