I kind of want to say nasty things about a cursed year and express wishes for a better one to come, but that seems like tempting fate.
So instead, I will say that today I got the backings for both baby quilts finished, and both quilts basted. I also whip-stitched the leftover batting from those endeavors together:
...and have that ready, together with the Christmas wallhanging and its backing, to baste together. Then I will have three smaller projects ready to quilt.
It's popular among quilters to pick a focal word, something for them to think on and strive toward, for each new year. I'm not going to do that. But I will be making three sort-of resolutions.
(1) I will write 400 words of fiction each day.
(2) I will only go to the fabric store when absolutely nothing from my stash will work. Sew up what I've got!
(3) I will only eat when I'm actually hungry.
Let's see how long I can cleave to these goals.
