uiI can't understand where the last month has gone, I haven't blogged since the beginning of December. Not an intentional lapse, but just such a long time. Since I last blogged we have celebrated birthdays, (numerous), an anniversary, Christmas, a hospital homecoming, a homecoming from across the ocean and a weekend away. A busy time in all in all.
I missed Yvonne's round up of 2016 quilting hopes. I can't actually remember mine, but I'm assuming it was probably to finish up some wips, finish THE wedding quilt, and to strengthen and enjoy quilty friendships.
Well, I didn't, I did, and I have in that precise order.
Now what I do want for 2017? Much the same again I suppose.
I haven't joined any bees this year, I have decided to concentrate on selfish sewing, fun as the bees are. I also have my previous bee quilts to finish up.
I might well join another quilt a long. I really enjoyed the Shimmer Snow Flake quilt a long, nearly, nearly finished it.
I would like to make another quilt for my bed, using the Cotton and Steel fabrics my son bought me for Christmas. More about that later I think.
I would like to collaborate with other quilters, with the Cotton and Steel fabrics above, and with hopefully some flying geese.
My daughter is hoping for a quilt or two in the near future.
Most important I would like to continue to enjoy this hobby, which for me is a much loved hobby and to strengthen those quilty friendships I have made. `
I think that is enough to be going on with!
