Why I’m not going to the sale at the fabric store

Thursday, January 2, 2014

Lainey is having a sale – 35% off everything, today only.

I spent some time this morning getting reports ready for the Guild meeting tonight. I was doing a bit of desk clean-up and decided to start writing in the lovely notebook I received at Christmas. I knew I wanted to use it for something quilt-related, so a list of projects seemed appropriate. I took some time to go through all my bins and drawers and came up with two lists – my UFOs and my To Dos. The UFOs have already been started, and the To Dos are kits or have fabric pulled.

UFOs

  • A Dresden Delight
  • Reserved Signs (for our House Concerts)
  • Mario & Luigi
  • One Block Wonders (veggies, flowers)
  • Celtic Crystals Block of the Month (Oct. & Nov.)
