Finishes for 2011

I'm happy to say, despite the many starts, I also finished a few quilts this year. I was also delighted to realize I had fulfilled last year's quilting and blogging goals. 

So what 's up for 2012....much of the same I hope.

• perhaps a few tutorials
• pursuing some of the ideas running around my head
• another year of blogging
• more new starts 

• finishing a few of the above
• finish setting up the West Coast Studio (below)

I'm looking forward to seeing what you are up to as well, for 2012

Looking Forward to 2011

I have been asking myself what I want for the upcoming year, in my quilting life. This mosaic is a small window into my design world. I love to play with fabric, paint or yarn. I always have multiple projects on the go and have come to accept that, as part of my process. For the upcoming year three things come to mind:

• I would like to push my self design wise and not just fill my time with easy, mindless, busy type quilting...there is a place for that (I actually love the rhythm of it), but there is also place for stepping out of one's comfort zone.
• I would like to revisit an unfinished project or two,  from way back, that probably deserve to be finished.
• I would like to commit to this blog for at least a year. I'll probably try putting together a few tutorials.

This might all sound a bit vague, but as in quilting I like to improvise and see where it takes me.

 I wish all of you a Happy and Creative New Year. I look forward to connecting with this wonderful, supportive group of online quilters, that I just sort of stumbled into, a few months ago. I love seeing every one's work and sharing my journey with you.
