Second Finish For 2023

 My second finish for 2023 is a little kitty quilt.  I bought this kit years ago at Prairie Star Quilts and they closed in 2012 so it has aged well in the stash.



Super simple and very fast to make.  Plus it's super cute!

First Finish For 2023

My first finish for 2023 is this Charm Tablemat from Country Threads.  You can find it here. 


I got this already to quilt back in July of 2022 and never got it quilted.  So this past weekend I decided it was time.  It didn't take any time at all to get it done.  Now why did I put it off for so long?  I'm thinking it may be my squirrel syndrome. At least that's my story and I'm sticking to it.  Ha!

What am I going to do now?

 What am I going to do now?  A good question.  I've been working on Chilhowie Mystery Quilt.  I have a bunch of the hourglass squares done for Clue 3.  


I have also cut almost all of Clue 4 and bagged the pieces.  So they are ready for me to sit down and sew.  Slow and steady wins the race.  

Just a reminder, the links I have provided to Bonnie's blog will go away soon as she will be taking down those pages and adding the quilt pattern to her shop.  So if you want to get a free copy of the quilt pattern, you had better do it soon!

A New Year

 A New Year has started along with all of my ideas, dreams and inspirations.  How about you?  Do you have lots of quilting plans?  I keep saying I'm not going to start a new project, but it's so hard.  I finished the 2022 BOM at "A Quilting Life".   Looking through my photos, I don't have a picture of it.  So put that on my list of "Things To Do".

I also have the center completed of Jen Daly's "Glad Tidings".  It uses only one charm pack and I love how it is coming along.   


The fabric line is "Swell Christmas" by Urban Chiks.  I just love the old fashion look of these fabrics.  I hope to get the border added this weekend.

Since the beginning of the year I have been doing 'Three Goals A Day".  All very small, simple things like cut scrap for five minutes, clean cutting table for five minutes.  I am kind of surprised by the things I have found and organized.  It's a nice feeling.
