Some January goals.......

A gratitude for today........feeling better after several days of the stomach flu; being able to return to some sewing and normalcy!

Some January stitching goals......





............the first goal is to get the Notre Dame t-shirt
quilt top and backing finished and the quilt done for Chris. Dad is a Domer and the two of them are die-hard ND football fans and go to as many games as they can. When I asked Chris what kind of quilt he wanted there was little question.




Quilting might be a little tricky with all the seams
but I'll give it that old college try!





.............deciding if Aunt Millie's Garden
should have a blue or yellow background?







.......finishing the Applique Affair block assigned for this month on Applique Cafe, an online group where we work on the same blocks. This one still needs some little bell shaped flowers on those barren stems!


and.............each year a group of volunteers meet for a weekend of sewing blankets for Project Linus. I've designed a quilt for this year's retreat and will be helping the group get thru my instructions. I hope everyone is successful! More on that after retreat January 15-17.
My partial list of hopes for the month............with hopes of completion of these and more! Stay warm - it's a cold one out there today!

I love the applique affair block, so pretty. I have to look this one up! (I do not need another project, I DO NOT NEED ANOTHER PROJECT!) I got my dark brown for my backing...can't wait to start!
