Welcome to a wonderful new year! 2013 is full of promise and
opportunities... I know it's going to be great!
Celebrating and relaxing with my family over the holiday break
has been wonderful and very soothing to
my stressed out craziness of late.
I've been so busy with school and work that I
didn't complete the challenge to make quilts for all of my kids for Christmas.
Fortunately, there's always next year so now I have a head start!
(In my
defense, I did issue that challenge to myself before deciding I was going back
to school ;P)
I did finish some quilts recently but in my
haste to get them to their new homes I forgot to take pictures of most of them!
I did remember to take a few pics of some lovely Irish chains we quilted
up before Christmas. They both are so lovely but had completely different
stories. The first one was made by a new quilting friend in Texas. She said she is
pretty new to quilting but I couldn't tell... her piecing is
just fabulous!
The second quilt was an antique
top. My friend's grandmother started it 70 years ago! Her
sister recently finished the piecing and binding. They gave it to their mother for
Christmas and as you can imagine, she was thrilled to receive such a special
memory of her mother from her daughters. A lovely generational quilt :)
I’m also going to be working
on my BOM quilt, it’s due next month and I still only have 3
blocks done, yikes! I’m going to have some late nights playing catch up!
