It's New Years Eve, I find my self thinking of the things I want to accomplish & finish in 2015.
Last year I sorted out my quilting area ,stash & to do list. I had 22 ufo's SHOCKING!!! I'm anal about finishing projects, then I decided I was too Fat!! Spent the year loosing 60 lbs & reducing my UFO'S to 9.
But it's not enough , am continuing with both projects, finishing the last nine UFO'S &  the weight loss starts again on Mon 5th & will continue till at least another 30 or 40 lbs are gone, will stop when it feels right.
Having knee surgery in Spring! Thats enough for first 6 months! Ido want to mull over my next applique project.! Phew!!OK I told you i was anal. Ha Ha!
HAVE A HAPPY,HEALTHY & peaceful 2015.

BIRDS OF PARADISE
It seems I have been missing for a year.Have had knee trouble & will be having it replaced in the spring.Also my mum who lives in England,aged 91 had a severe heart attack & I spent time with her.She survived & in October celebrated her 92 birthday.Have quilted up a storm,three of my quilts are shown here.The
Birds of  Paradise won a 2nd place ribbon at my guild show in March this year.
I love Beatrix Potter books & have read a lot about her life, really enjoyed depicting her characters in my quilt.The Sun Bonnet Sue quilt was just fun to do.Till my next post I wish you all a happy & healthy 2015.
