Last year, in particular, I used a lot of that time to prepare sewing projects for the coming year. I planned to do the same for last Christmas. And I must have done that - I didn't do a lot of other things, just sewing "stuff"....but it's hard to see what I actually achieved. Last year I ended up with at least 8 little projects ready to sew during the year (for the Stitch-a-Long blog).
Whatever I did this year is not as visible....oh well thats how it is.
So - what did I get done??
So - what did I get done??
- I traced the vliesofix for all but one block of "Welcome to the North Pole".
- I pieced and traced the stitchery for block 1 of Mrs Beasleys sampler (and although I am very keen to get my hands on the next issue which has been delayed MANY months, at least I still have a chance of finishing block 1 before Block 2 is available)
- I sorted through all my drawers of fabrics, so they are all neat and tidy (for now) and each "colour" fits in the drawer....LOL....BUT I need more drawers....
- I just about finished all the machine stitching for the "My Town" blocks that I plan to finish this year
- I re-made some angels for a friend who has misplaced her collection
- I made a list of what I want to work on this year
- I started my McKenna Ryan group blog and got a few recruits
- I made two small wall hangings for some young girls I know who have each bought a unit
There were at least 7 other things I wanted to do....as usual my plans far exceed the time available.
Not to worry there is almost a full year ahead... plenty of time to finish all those projects.......NOT!!!
Gorgeous projects....and we think there is heaps of time, but...hope you find some...
ReplyDeleteWow I think you achieved heaps .... my Mum always said "time goes faster as you get older" and I think she was right. Your wall hangings look terrific too.

ReplyDeleteYou did such a lot Susan. Well done! I love the wall hangings. That little design I one of my favourites. Happy stitching ahead for you in 2014.

ReplyDeleteSome lovely projects to do.. I am always amazed at just how long the prep work takes ...

You have certainly achieved a lot there Susan!
ReplyDeleteprep work always seems to take up a lot of time, so you did achieve plenty to keep you going for a while. (or longer than a while???) Those weeks seem to go so quickly dont they.
ReplyDeleteby the way, my mission is definitely to start checking out (buying) batiks ready to start the owls.
I am tired just reading that :-)
ReplyDeleteYou've been busy :)
ReplyDeleteI sorted my fabrics too but I can't say they fit in my drawers :))
Hugs,
