Actually, I started in late November, getting my head in the right place for the foreseeable future. The future is not foreseeable. I got blind sided in October and I have spent time reflecting on what is important to me. I have been spending some decent time in my quilt room these last six weeks. I have finished two quilt tops which are coming back from quilting tomorrow, and they are ready for binding. I finished the black n white mostly quilt top of Teresa's and made an interesting quilt back that helped use some of those b&w fabrics up. It is ready to be delivered to Phyllis "the favorite" long arm quilter. That makes three projects already in the final stages of completion. I have a crap-ton more, but you have to start to make any impact. I also started Zumba last week, and I plan on making an impact there as well. I am grateful for my fabulous quilt room, all my inspirational books, cards from friends, and my ability to be creative. I have been lacking some-in-my face inspirational reminders, however. I have a plan to fix that. Below is a photo of my metal cabinet, which holds about 1/3 of my fabric stash. I love it because it is metal and I can use magnets to hold my fun bright goodies. I am going to rework some of what is on it, and tidy up a bit. I need a list of the top five projects, in progress, that I will focus on first.
The little flannel quilt with the volunteer ribbons on it, is the first quilt I ever sewed a binding onto. I particularly treasure it. I painted this cabinet myself. It used to be gunmetal gray. It holds a lot of fabric, much of which I hope to be digging into this year and really enjoying myself. Be strong, be creative.
