I'm currently participating in the Block Swap Adventure. This is fun because we're paired with our partner, and know who they are, so we can chat throughout the month.

| Two are for me, one is for swap. I won't tell which is which! |
I'm in a Tilda Valentine's Heart Swap ~ no pictures yet for this one.
I've joined the One Ornament a Month project:
I've seen several other BOM's that I'd like to make, but I had to put on the brakes! My goal was to do all these projects each month, as well as work on one of the projects that are neatly sorted and stored in boxes in the sewing room. So far, I haven't made it to the boxes. So if you see me expressing interest in a new swap or project, please stop me! oops, just remembered - I recently signed up for a Seasonal Swap.
I'd really like to be making some quilts with patterns such as fans, Dresden plates, Grandmother's flower garden. I love all the quilts that I see on everyone's blogs. I wish work and sleep didn't take so much of my time!
Counting my blessings......and my projects......Sunny
Oh my goodness! You have taken on a lot but these projects are a great way to squeeze creative time in when you work full time.
ReplyDeleteLOL! You sound like me. I actually stopped myself from joining another swap just the other day. Your hexies are beautiful and I like the ornament you are working on.
ReplyDeleteJust look at it this way... you have ALL year to make a quilt... so enjoy the swaps while they are going. At least that's my motto! And guess what?... we are partners in BSA this month. :)
ReplyDeleteOh Sunny I know what you mean about signing up for swaps. I need to stop. I think I am addicted to them. LOL
ReplyDeleteRecieved my partner for the Seasonal Swap and you know what? I had forgotten I signed up for it. How scary is that. Eeerkkkkk.
Oh but the swaps are so much fun and it's such a nice way to connect wth others! ANd it's a fun way to be creative. Well, good for you for at least putting the brakes on.
ReplyDeleteGoodness me, you are a busy girl - so glad to see you enjoying life, making new friends, and stitching up all these pretty things!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Sunny--so far this year I have pretty much kept the "brakes" on!!! But did join a bom at the local quilt shop here--mostly embroidery!!!
ReplyDeletebut then I have just copied off the second bom from Jennys bom and I really think I should do that one--it has meaning for me--and then there is......
but my main goal is do finish up a lot of the bom's from the Internet for the last two years and to just have some time to "play" with my own projects and maybe some designs!!!
but what ever we do--we are having fun--right????????
Hugs,di and miss gracie
Cute post Sunny, you make me laugh! I am trying very hard not to join up or start any of the free BOM's this year. I wonder how long that will last! ;)
ReplyDeleteSunny, I can relate. I am in such, awe of sew many in blogland and I sew, want to be a part of it. BUT, I also found out that I "gaze, lerk, admire" too much and it prevents me from being productive in my own sewing room and then I become overwhelmed with guilt that I can't start something new until I finish something else, it's a catch 22. I am constantly amazed at what people can do and the amount of projects they can turn out. Carry on, long as your having fun and enjoying it, Good luck!!! If you find the secret, how "to do more and see it all" let me know!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my.. I was out of breath reading all your goals.. but if anyone can do it is you! You are an ispiration. They are all lovely .. Enjoy!
