June's got me beat, but I do like her resolution to blog more regularly this year. Along with catching up on my backlog of UFOs, PIGs and the like!
2013 has started of better since I have 3 baby quilts ready to be quilted. I finished two of them late last year - Cousins of the Blue Frog 2 for my newest great niece and a colorful dinosaur quilt. The third, a turtle quilt, is for a co-workers newest addition who arrived last week.
I've also started purses, inspired by "Muffintops" fabric given to me by a friend. I fussy cut 10 samll panels to use in five purses. I'm planning to keep one and use the others as gifts. I just hope that the recipients don't read anything into them other than I had fun with fabrics. Thanks to my good friend Nancy for providing the jumping off point!
Oh, and placemats! I wanted to make some as a Christmas present ... no, they're still not made but everyone loves the modification to a free download that I found. Yes, the making of a quilt is in there too. Oh boy, do I love to find more stuff to add to my Someday list.
I missed the first meeting of 2013 for Stitches in Time, a local quilt guild. The membership is very reasonable, and it will give me a chance to not only learn more about quilting, but to also meet new quilters and spend more quality time with my fabrics. Maybe even use more of it, too!
