I am not one for new years resolutions, if you can't commit to something during the year then the magical 1st of January won't be helping you any! But I do try to hold myself to certain sewing rules... one big, and one small project at a time. With how crazy my past few months have been this rule has gone out the window just a smidge, gulp.
In my defense Stargazer got too big to lug around as a car sewing project, and when you have have three uninterrupted hours a week waiting in the car you REALLY need something to keep your hands busy. So Supernova (a Stargazer variation) got to jump the cue just a little.
Does planning two additional quilts count as starting, asking for a friend?! Because the Orbit Quilt has been planned, written, fabric purchased for and is with my fabulous editor. I have also planned out the second quilt I will be making next year, this one is a sentimental one for my second born. Very excited about that one.
I am thrilled to say that Stargazer has been quilted and bound now, I won't be showing you my corners that's for sure! I had given myself a hard deadline of end of this month, and I am glad I made it with some time to spare. It is so exciting when you get to the end of a project, and I never mentally prepare myself for the post project blues that come along after. I generally end up sitting with the project in my lap while I reminisce about all the things I experienced while making the project, some memories good, some not so good. In a way its like saying goodbye to a traveling companion for me... one that is now safety tucked away to be entered into my local quilt show next March.
While planning out the last of this years social media posts I realized I will have published a whopping twelve patterns in 2024. You can find them all here...
