Happy New Year and FNwF


Happy New Year!

I hope that 2018 was a great year for you and that 2019 will prove to be even better.

As I look back on the last 12 months I realize that I was very busy both inside and outside of the sewing room.  I started to write a blog post recapping my 2018 but it quickly became too overwhelming.  With the advent of Instagram, I – like many others – do most of my sharing there and my blog has fallen silent.  I’ve decide to forego the recap and try to refer back to 2018 events as they are relevant to what I am currently sharing.

I will start right here…

Our local quilt shop began a Saturday block-of-the-month program last May.  They do not call it a Saturday Sampler but that is essentially what it is.  You are given fabric and a block pattern.  You pay for the first block and as long as you finish that block and bring it to class the following month then you do not pay for the next block.

Around July, my friend and I decided to join.  We caught up on the May and June blocks and have kept current.  Here are my blocks:

May

June

July
August

September
October

November
December

I joined Cheryll over at Gone Stitchin' for her Friday Night with Friends event and finished December’s block in time to ‘show’ for class yesterday.

No sewing for me today.  My husband has kindly agreed to help me reorganize and deep clean the kitchen after church and before the Eagles football game today.

Wish us luck!

    Wishes for a Happy and Healthy 2019. I keep opening up my computer to update the end of December and find myself almost anywhere else. I really need to bite the bullet before the blog hops start for the year. Your blocks are wonderful. I love your color choices.

    I have never done one of the shop sampler quilts. I know they can be very successful for the shops business wise. What shop is local for you?

    Happy New Year Jeanna. I wondered if you ended up on FB or Instagram and abandoned blogging. I prefer blogging. Your blocks are going to make a beautiful quilt. I have never joined in on a Saturday Sample before. I knew that I wouldn't be able to go every Saturday for the next block, so I never joined in. Happy cleaning!

    The Saturday Sampler blocks look great - it sounds like a fun sewalong. Hope the cleaning went well - who can turn sdown an offer to do some deep cleaning?!!

    Here it is Wednesday...cold and snowing after weeks of unseasonal 50 degree temps. I know that lots of bloggers recap the past year, probably more for themselves as documentation than for their readers.

    I LOVE the marketing idea that your local quilt shop came up with. It gives incentive to complete a block and not only come in for the new one, but browse the shop to see what's new. Genius. The blocks are good ones too!

    Happy New Year. When does it become to late to say that?
    Best wishes for you to do whatever you want to do. It can sometimes become elusive.
    xx, Carol

    Happiest of New Year's to you, Jeanna. Your must be doing Instagram instead of your blog. But I do "see" you in the groups on Facebook.
