Number 9? Guilty as charged :) I suspect most of us all are!!
ReplyDeleteOh I'm guilty as charged too! Great makes and resolutions - you have achieved so much. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteYou had a great year! Love your mosaics. So bright and fun. Looking forward to your 2013 posts : )
ReplyDeleteI love your resolutions! If you can, it would be great if you can go to the January DCMQG meeting. I'll definitely be there because I can't make the February one and I need to share my Madrona Road challenge pillows.
ReplyDeleteI will be hosting a QAL for 1Choice4Quilting in January. It is an EASY and fun quilt! They used to have a month long challenge until the store was sold a few months ago, and they are bringing it back this year. The quilt is really quite simple and uses one layer cake.
I've also joined lots of QALs and have finished about 3/4 of them. A few proved just too challenging for me. I have already joined 3 this year--Sugar Block Club, the Gen X 10 Sisters quilt, and Melissa Corry's starburst quilt--and then I'm still doing the Row Along. I really like doing the QALs and seeing how everyone's looks different (and being jealous of some people's amazing creativity wishing I'd thunk of it!). I am also mad for doing bees. My resolution this year is just to sew more.
Happy New Year!
Loved your lists, I was thinking of doing something similar, you gave me an idea on how to format it. I'm also a new blogger, since September, so one of my goals in 2013 matches yours, improve the look of my blog. Looking forward to improving with you. Ronda
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful work! You were WAY more productive this year than some of us :)
ReplyDeleteLove all of your finishes! And I made the list! Hope next time we can sew together!

ReplyDeleteI love seeing - and reading - what you have accomplished in 2012! It is inspiring; I keep feeling that if I could start my blog, it would lead to a lot more finishes.
ReplyDeleteYou have had a spectacular year and I love all the colour radiating from all the different things you made. You are inspired with the way you put fabrics together.
