Christmas in July Challenge

Kathy, at Sewing, Etc., issued a Christmas in July challenge. You can read about it here and here.

There are no rules. The point is to encourage one another while moving our projects forward. There is no pressure to finish a project, no deadlines to make. Simply move a project forward.

I decided to move my Lone Star project forward.

I last worked on this quilt in January. I had completed quilting in the ditch.

My plan to move my project forward is to free motion quilt the star points this month.

That’s it.

No pressure.

Just moving forward.

How about you? What project would you like to move forward? Need some encouragement?

Quilt on!

Christmas Lone Star and a Life Change

I have pulled out another old UFO…from 199?…to add to my New Year’s Resolutions to-do list.

Okay…so it has been on the Focus list for the last year or so. I really mean to get it done in 2022…no more carrying it to the next year!

It is a Christmas Lone Star and I was quite pleased that more work was done on it than I remembered!

I now have it pin basted and ready for quilting.

And the life change?

I made a scary and exciting decision to retire from the day job!

2022 really will be a new beginning for me!

Happy New Year!

Quilt On!
