Happy 2020!
New Year ~ New Decade
Starting 2020 off with an organized thread drawer!
My threads used to hang on the wall
on a June Taylor thread organizer - but they got bit dusty!
 |
| Just love Aurifil thread! |
So I cut up some 1 inch strips of cardboard and made my own
grid holder (easier said than done!)
It is so nice to pull out the drawer and see all the pops of color
just jumping out!
Not sure how long this will last...
but I'll enjoy it for now!
Now to MOVE on to the rest of the sewing room!
Made the decision to make a 2020 Temperature quilt...
this will be the third in my series.
In 2018 I used the flying geese pattern,
2019 was an appliqué quarter circle,
2020 will be a strip of color.
The center strip will be the high temperature of the day,
the corners will be the low temperatures,
the accents will represent snow, sleet or rain.
It will be interesting to see the three quilts all together once done,
the 2019 and 2020 quilts have the same color scheme,
mostly because I cut too many 2.5" squares and want to use them up!
You can join in the fun on Instagram

My two Quilting Goals for 2020:
ONE:
Hand Quilt my ships!
The center block is done,
now onto the other eight blocks and borders.

| This block is 'Massachusetts' by Pearl Pereira of P3 Designs |
TWO:
Finish the Mariners Compass quilt for my daughter.
She selected pattern and fabrics back in 2017,
it was started in late 2018...
thinking 2020 is the perfect year to finish it
as this hopefully is the year she finishes her PhD!!
(pattern is by Judy Niemeyer)
Just need to decide if we should switch out the cream background
for the blackish background to give the compass a floating look???
Such a decision!!
Leaning towards the Dark Side!
Thoughts anyone?
No New Years Resolutions for me ...
always hard a hard time writing them down and sticking to them.
This year I'm jumping on the 'One Word' band wagon
#oneword2020
my 2020 word
MOVE
Move my Body more
Move through Obstacles
Move towards Health
Move through my Quilting projects
Move along better with my Blog
Always Move Forward
Hoping your 2020 is wonderful!
Have a great Quilty Day and enjoy the process!
