Made in 2012

Reading  blogs and talking to people it seems that everybody is in agreement that 2012 has just flown by. Like many others, I too like to reflect on the highs and lows of the passed year at this point of time. That of course also includes what has been going on in my sewing room.

Lots and lots of small projects (I haven't got pictures of all of them), made mostly for our charity bazaar, but not many finished quilts to show for. I did however finish two hand pieced tops:

This one I've quilted in the ditch already, now I want to add a bit of hand quilting with perle cotton.

and this one I'm planning to free motion quilt by machine. 

Regarding New Year's resolutions: I have a dismal track record with those, so I don't even go there anymore. I just try to live life as it's presented to me and make the most of it and that includes sewing and quilting. If I see a new project that takes my fancy, why not go for it?? Life is too short to worry about too many UFOs! With that little insight, I would like to wish all my friends out there a very good start into the New Year and may 2013 be your best year yet. 

With Love

I hope to have above quilts finished by the same time next year! I just need determination and willpower not to start too many projects along the way.

There are a few more but I wouldn't call them "works in progress" as I haven't worked on them in a long time. Maybe they should be called "works abandoned". 

Wishing you all a wonderful and happy New Year ahead with hopefully lots of inspiration as well as lots of time to stitch.
