2011 Sewing + Goals for Next Year
Thanks to your encouragement, I started a huge fabric earrings project, which is going to be a great ongoing fundraiser as we continue to work toward adopting. One thing I love about the online sewing community is the chance to grow and learn from each other, whether that is through tutorials, sew-alongs or following all of your lovely blogs. 🙂 Some of the highlights of my year in sewing were:
- Sewing the Jamie Dress during the Sew-Along at Sew Sweetness.
- Being a part of the 12 Gifts of Christmas Blog Hop and the 12 Days of Christmas Sampler Quilt-Along.
- Joining the 4×5 Modern Bee.
- Making my Bottled Rainbows Quilt with Stitched in Color.
- Participating in two rounds of the Goodie Bag Swap on Flickr.
- Joining the Billboard Quilt-Along hosted by Oh, Fransson.
- Hosting Craft Book Month
- Taking part in two fabric challenges with the Indy Modern Quilt Guild. You ladies rock!
- Write my first quilt pattern. In fact, this should be coming soon!
- Be a featured seller on Heartsy on 1/16.
- Host a sewing retreat for my quilt guild in March.
- Sew myself a couple shirts from my newly acquired Make it Perfect patterns.
- Make friends with my free-motion foot.
- Meet up with inspiring sewists (maybe you?) at Quilt Market and Sewing Summit.
- Create lovely quilts with the Mod Stitches Bee.
- Avoid last year’s sewing-related injuries.
