Each year, I use a favorite quilt as my Christmas card photo. I especially like the results I had using simplytoimpress.com to print my cards last year (odd to say last year already). I used my most recent quilt "Blossoms in Wool" a collaborative quilt I did with Ann Becker.
Another project completed: a table mat done in wool, appliquéd by machine with hand embroidery. Pattern by https://cranedesignbyjanmott.blogspot.com
And what do I have up next:
My daughter Carla asked me to make this quilt for their king sized bed. She found a photo of a vintage quilt and I created the design using my EQ7 program. Eight point stars, not the easiest pieced block in the world, but hey! I can appliqué all those stars! I will definitely pre-wash the red fabric using Synthrapol to set the color.
And after this quilt is finished, she has ordered new quilts for Woody's new big boy room, a family room quilt and of course a quilt for the Woody's new baby sister who will be born in May.
This should keep me occupied during the long Northwood's winter.
I'm planning on entering 'Blossoms in Wool' in the 2018 IQA show in Houston, Texas and the Fall Paducah, Kentucky show.
Oh, and as far as my New Year's resolutions, I gave up trying to write them and decided to revisit this quote and leave it at that:
