Well, it has been a whole month since I joined blogland! Honestly, if I knew there were such great things to read, and such encouraging people out there, I would have been here sooner! Now that I read a few blogs every night, I am inspired! I have sewn and quilted more in this past month than I think I did all of last year. It is wonderful! The hardest part, I think, is wanting to do it all! Every time I read the blogs, there is a new swap or quilt-a-long that looks so great! Last month, with the holidays, it was easier to exercise restraint. But now, with the new year ahead, I am tempted!!
One of the swaps I have signed up for is a Small Quilt Swap at My Needle and Thread by Mary. It appealed to me because it was a SMALL quilt. I figured a small one was doable. Plus, the theme of "winter" sounded fun. We don't really have "winter" here in this part of Southern California, so hopefully it will give me a chance to at least play with fabric. Mary is still looking for more participants. If you think this might be fun, check out the link above before the 15th.
On a different note, I didn't get much sewing time today. The baby decided last night was a good night to have the stomach flu, so she was recovering today. Thankfully, it seems to be a short-lived illness. She is already feeling better. Tomorrow is another day, and another opportunity to have some sewing fun! I think it might be time to pull out my Batiks for that tile UFO.....

I was excited to see that you joined Mary's quilt swap. I was in her last swap too and I loved it. It's so much fun to be able to share your quilting and to see what others come up with.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your first paragraph whole-heartedly :-)
