This time of year is always busy, even if you don't celebrate the winter holidays. I always pick up overtime so others can spend time with their families - and it is extra pay after all. But it is also dark and the weather is in upheaval, so what better time to work on sewing projects?
This year I joined the Milk & Honey Quilters Guild. I haven't had a chance to go to a meeting yet, but I did join the mug rug exchange and the 30-year challenge project. I am still working out what I want to do for the 30 year challenge, although I have the fabric. But the mug rug exchange is done and I was excited to make a fun little project for one of the other quilters.
I have also been going to the fabric projects group at my local library a couple times a month as my schedule permits. I have been able to make some progress with my various projects. No photos at this time however. I've been a bum on that front. I have made good progress on the letter Z from Black & White. That is really all I have been focusing on currently. Although I had a day of educational seminars and was able to quilt for the day. During that time I madea couple of blocks for the Nebula quilt and move my halloween quilt along. I also made huge progress on a queensize quilt I am working up. So this is all encouraging. As always, it is fits and starts because of this whole employment thing.
A few days left in the year to work on projects and then a new year begins - same plan as the last, do my best each day. And I'm looking forward to a vacation early in February. What a great way to welcome a new year!
