Goodbye 2013

Looking back at 2013, I think it was a continuation for me of 2012 where most of my projects were about trying new things and skill building.  I completed only one large quilt for myself and other larger quilts were completed for charity.

 
 
Since I am a self taught sewist, it was nice to attend classes at Quiltcon, the Houston International Festival, and thru Craftsy.  It was so much fun, I really hope to attend more classes in 2014.
 
I also participated in the monthly challenge projects at Le Challenge, which I think have been tough.  But, I have really enjoyed these challenges.

My goals for 2014:
  • Attend more quilt classes
  • Practice more machine quilting so I can feel more comfortable when I quilt.  (I still feel hesitant to start, with a feeling that that I might ruin the quilt).
  • Use up some of my gorgeous stash and not be so afraid to cut into it
  • Push the envelope and get out of my comfort zone.
  • And lastly, finish what I started.  I need to get serious about tackling the UFO's (un-finished objects) that have taken over my sewing area.

  2. Happy New Year! I love all the colour you have worked with this past year - it is enjoyable to look back and see each one. I agree - cut into that stash! I have let myself do that more often this year and it has been lots of fun.
