Happy New Year, everyone!
Taking
a look back at 2023, it seems I was a busy lady with lots going on.
After checking my lists and inventory, here's a summary of last
year's work:
- Quilts
& projects finished: 54
- Quilts
donated or gifted: 21
- Fabric
acquired: 647 yards (purchases + gifts)
- Fabric
used: 253 yards
- Fabric
left (not including scrap boxes): 2651 yards
So,
I have plenty left to stitch. It's difficult to turn down free or low
cost quilting material. I'm thankful for my friends who generously
share fabric and sewing machines with me, and for my sweet husband, who actively encourages me
to get whatever I want, from fabric to sewing machines and quilting supplies.
Quilting
is my passion! I design and sew for pleasure and to keep my brain
active. I don't take custom orders, publish or sell quilt patterns. I know I
could earn money selling, but that would take the fun out of it and
cut into my sewing time. I just want to enjoy my hobby, not run a
business. Been there, done that.
Thanks
for reading and sharing my blog. Although people have asked for
videos and more content, it will remain the same weekly post for now.
That takes up quite a bit of time already and I don't want to expand.
So,
I've reset the counters, made a few resolutions, cleaned my studio,
and started off the year sewing.
Hope
you all have a fabulous 2024. Take time for yourself, and do what
makes you happy!
