A new year brings new beginnings

This weekend, I got my sewing room put back into use after it reverted back to our older son's bedroom  at Christmas time.  It was great to have him home and to give up my workroom for a bit!

In 2012, I made a list of all the projects I had started with the hopes I would finish most of them.  (40+ projects)  Well, I did do a lot of quilting and mending last year.  I started more projects, (some getting finished)  and finished only 2 of the projects on the list,  my Vegetable Garden quilt, from a pattern in Quiltmaker Magazine  and a quilt for my husband that was a mystery quilt.

 Soo. . . that wasn't going to well in getting old UFOs finished.

Well I stumbled onto a blog "bittersweet designs" and Melissa was blogging about  " 2013 ~ A Lovely Year of Finishes".  Well I though about it for a week and decided, maybe, if I put a project out there for all to see, I will finish it in the month.  It's worth a try, right?

So,  This month, I am quilting 2 quilts.  One is the 2012's Black Swamp Quilt Guilds mystery quilt.  It is so bright and joyful, Aqua, Yellow and White.  It makes me smile.  And I want it done for a meeting on Thursday. (I better work fast)






 

The other one which is for the "Lovely Year of Finishes" is the 'Robot Quilt'.

I pieced it over 5 years ago, the backing is finished, and the binding is made.  Why it never got finished, I am not quite sure.  I love the quirk color combination, and while there isn't a robot in the quilt, the words,  describe robots.  I made monkey wrench and friendship star, and 9 patch blocks because you need a wrench to make a robot :-) and this robot is going into space!  This quilt needs sandwiched, quilted and bound.

Ready to have some quilting joy!
