New Year New Resolutions

In an effort to get organized this year I discovered that All People Quilt is doing a UFO Challenge.  It seems like they have been doing this for quite awhile now...how did I miss this?

They had drawn early for the January project so when I came on board #6 was chosen as the January UFO.  I then decided to change my list because I wanted to get a Valentine project done and a cowl knitted for my dear friend's birthday at the end of the month.  I have a feeling that I might be re-adjusting my project list a few times.  😉

I made two lists...one for sewing and one for knitting.

I am making good progress on my #6 for knitting and hoping it gets down in the next week so I can get it in the mail to her before her birthday!  However the baby is "needing" some new booties so I need to get that done because as you know "what the baby wants the baby gets"!  :)

I did finally started on the Valentine quilts/pillows last night.  I had an Etsy order that needed to get done so I was busy working on that.  January is always hard because you have all those Christmas decorations to put away which means re-organizing the storage room etc, etc.

I have had two Sandy Gervais Valentine panels and fabrics for quite awhile and decided that if I didn't use them this year I was going to gift them to a friend who really wants them. 

The idea is to turn one into a wall hanging and the others into pillows. The post cards will hang one one of my picture frames.

 Last night I worked on one of the panels which had post cards and they were perfect the perfect size for playing with free motion quilting (other than the basic stippling which I am always using).
