    I always choose my projects to stretch my comfort zones & have been trying new FMQ designs & different patterns all the time. My DH bought me the Judy Niemeyer "Feathered Star" pattern for Christmas this year & that will be a real stretch, but I do adore her patterns!!

    I was at my DD yesterday and saw a mini quilt I made about 15 years ago. Boy, I have learned a lot since then.

    I have a BlockRockit longarm machine I received last fall. It’s getting the best of me so far, but I’m hoping to assume control over it soon! Wish me luck!

    I bought the year subscription to unlimited Craftsy classes so I know I'll be tackling new quilting techniques.

    I want to improve my FMQ skills. I'm also going to aim to spend at least a little time on quilt-related activities every day. I didn't do as much of that as I feel like I should have in 2017.

    Ruler work! I want to learn how to do this & be comfortable with it.
    And I want to get More projects done. I have sooo many WIMMS (works in my mind) ~ time to turn as many of them as possible into reality!

    I want to complete the whole quilt process myself (with lap size quilts). My experience thus far has been sewing precut squares into basic tops for project Linus from made up kits the group puts together. They meet twice a month. They have ladies sandwich and quilt them (a couple have Long Arms) and others will do the binding. I did help my youngest daughter put together a quilt for the fair with guidance from the group. I also want to try FMQ.

    I'm making 3D objects right now - a fabric persimmon (inspired by a gift of persimmons I received, yum) & the one still on the drawing board is a lantern out of a couple of different fabrics.

    I want to learn to paint on fabric and then quilt it. I received fabric paint for Christmas, so I've got what I need to start off.
