First thing you'll likely notice is that I've changed the look of my blog. I didn't really like the standard green template I had first chosen - so maybe this one will be okay...that is, until I think I can alter it. At least I don't lose the previous posts! LOL. I'd really like something with gypsies and shoes... Check out these adorable glass "gypsy" shoes my friend Laura gave me:
Second is that I've added my Scrap Deliverance list in the sidebar. "Scrap Deliverance" is an idea that Debby Kratovil shares on her Quilting Lessons website for using up scraps. While I've just neatly stacked my scrap stash, there are several quilts I've wanted to make and the list here are the ones I'd like to get a head start on. Maybe mine should be "Scrap Redemption." Redeem those homeless waifs and put them into a loved quilt!
A few aims I will strive toward: finishing UFOs before starting new projects, donating 10-12 quilts to South Sound Project Linus, keeping my quilting space tidy, my quilting machine clean and oiled, and updating my blog on a regular basis!

Here's a UFO from 15 years ago, which I started in Germany and had done the basting and just a tiny bit of handquilting. I actually finished quilting it on the longarm, after an internal debate on keeping the original intent, but I no longer care for the colors much, so this is going to be a cuddley quilt for the couch:
I'm not sure if you can tell from the photos, but I originally marked hand-quilting designs on the pink in pencil, and a cable design maybe in ink on the borders. This was before I really new better. Hopefully Sew Clean will come to the rescue.
Happy New Year!
