Bow Tie Leader/Ender Update

Posted on January 5, 2021 | 15 comments

In my previous update, I shared that I was sewing the little bow tie blocks into large 8 x 8 blocks.

I have now sewn all but six little bow ties into a flimsy.

When I was finished, and hung the flimsy up to take a photograph, I realized that I had miscalculated. This monster is approximately 75″ x 100″.

What was I thinking????

But the six leftover blocks make a cute 9.5″ orphan block!

Focus

Posted on January 1, 2021 | 13 comments

I did not finish all that was on my Focus 2020 creative list, but that is okay. There is no rush; no race. This list is for personal enjoyment, not a must do, honey-do, get it done errands list.

What doesn’t get done can be carried over or not ever done. It is okay.

My favorite completions from the 2020 list:

Candace’s Cherry Pie

Let’s Sew Quilt Along

Floral Reflections

These projects, and other finishes, can be found by clicking on the Galleries tab on the header, or click here.

2021 is a very welcome new year, and time to update those creative goals.

I have carried over some, and I have added some.

I always reserve the option to revamp at any time during the year if I want. I might change my mind at some point. I might see ‘squirrels’ that lead me in another direction.

It is okay. It is my list after all.

I want to play more with embroidery. I use to do a lot of it, and it is time to bring it back.

So I pulled out two challenging projects that I have had in my stash for some time.

I am not an advanced embroiderer. Not even close!

These may qualify for the ‘what was I thinking’ category!

I also want to continue to enjoy, learn and practice photography. It is a wonderful creative outlet for me…something that takes me outside to experience God’s creations!

Whatever your creative goals are, may you experience a fantastic new year in 2021!
