My year was not as productive as some, but it was enjoyable. It is the process, not the progress that I now focus on. There was still a lot of thread used! Each year I post a pic of my empty spools. Not as many as last year, but I also had less partial spools when the year began. It continues to amaze me how much thread quilters go through!
What are my plans for 2020? I will continue to minimize the contents of my studio. I have been cleaning out my craft bins, tossing, gifting and rearranging as I go. I sold some of my fabrics because it would have taken at least a dozen quilters to stitch through my stash! I also sold my electronic cutting machine (Scan n’Cut) because I was not using it. Beware – stand in one place too long in my studio these days and you’re on your way out! Now I’m seriously thinking about finding my Featherweight a new home. I’m not acting too quickly on that decision as I want to be sure. The cleanout has been very freeing.
I’m also knitting again! Starting out with something simple like a dishcloth seemed like a good approach. Next week I’ll be taking a sock knitting class – something I’ve wanted to do for a very long time and I am excited! I chose a pretty jazzy yarn!
There are several flimsies in the wings waiting to be quilted. I need to decide which ones I will tackle and which will go to the long armer. There are also a few projects that have been around for a long while. Hopefully the motivation will hit me to complete them. A couple have challenges that I have been avoiding. Hmmm…am I passionate about them enough to meet the challenge? We’ll see!
So here it is – my end of year Project Progress Listing. Lots accomplished – lots more to do!
Thank you for being part of this past year with me. May your new year be filled with joy, peace, love and creativity!
Debbie had the first finished project. This is such a cute mini.
