Happy New Year!

YAH!!  I'm glad the holiday month is over!  Not that I was overly stressed this year, but now I can get back to SEWING!!!!  WHOOOO HOOOOO....I've gone through all my UFO's and removed some and redid my spreadsheet.  I had TONS of UFO's left to do, but I'm going to do my fabric diet effort again.  No new projects for the next few months---must get at least 10 UFO's done and ready for quilting!  I think my stash is will aid in a lot of backings as well.

I got my first issue of Irish Quilting and I'm soooooo impressed.  Sherry and her team did an awsome job on their new magazine dedicated to quilting in Ireland.  I LOVE, love love the pictures and the settings of quilts in the countryside of Ireland with brief descriptions of places.  I definitely see this magazine growing in popularity.  I ordered mine from here, but their official website is www.irishquilting.ie  I highly recommend getting yours today.

I also purchased a neat paper piecing borders book when I order the magazine :)

I'm wishing everyone a blessful and happy new year.  Wish and dream big and don't sweat the small stuff!!  Live life!!  Love ya!

  3. Happy New Year!!! I am so glad that the holidays are finally over and I can get back to sewing too! I have been trying to sort my UFO's and quilt tops! I have 74 quilt tops that need to be quilted. Hubby said that I could buy my own quilting machine in a month or so. I am so excited!!! Hopefully, I can get alot of them quilted!

  4. I just purchased a copy of that quilting magazine from my sort of LQS - but I haven't had a chance to actually look at it yet. Now you've made me want to go find it and leaf through. :-)

    Happy New Year to you! And just so you know - I thought of you when I saw "pirate" hand towels in our local Sears store (in Canada)!

  5. That magazine looks interesting. Does it look like they use a lot of the same methods as we do?
