January in Review

I got a lot accomplished in January and couldn't be happier!

1) Finished the Rectangle Block quilt top (still need to take pics and blog)
2) Joined the Sew.Happy.Quilt. QAL @ Sew.Happy.Geek - Sewed 5 Blocks!
3) Joined the Swoon - Along and finished two blocks!!
4) Restarted my Blogger's BOM and made the 4 blocks I was behind on
5) Joined the Made in Cherry QAL - should be finishing the top this week!
6) Signed up for the Dessert of the Month Cross Stitch & stitched up January (no pics)
7) Bought last years Fruit of the Month and started on January
8) Did 2 Charm Swaps (gray & polka-dot)

I've got some new projects to work on in February too!  A wedding gift quilt and one for a charity auction fundraiser.  I'm thinking I'll buy my first fat quarter bundle (Hometown) and use that for both.  Now I just have to pick a pattern or two...

Linking up @ Lily's Quilts Fresh Sewing Day & Small Blog Meet!  Be sure to stop over and see what everyone else is working on & check out the blogs.

Hi!

Wow! My very first post!  I've been sewing on and off for years and have recently developed a love for quilting, rekindled my love for cross stitching, bought a house to fix-up and want to create a place to share all my projects (the good, bad and ugly!).  I've had crafting on the brain so much lately, that if you were looking for me on my lunch break today you would've found me cross stitching in my car...in the parking lot!

I'm working on a subversive cross stitch (Happy F* Holidays) for my aunt in-law for Christmas.  I promise not to throw around the F word like that- it's just the perfect gift for her!  And I'll take better pictures- this was with my phone since my camera has dead batteries.

I'll be back tomorrow with a work-in-progress Wednesday rundown of all my current projects.
