A New Chapter in Quilting for Me

 I have been 'wishing' that I had time to devote to my quilting. I got a message one morning: "Quit 'wishing' and Start 'Doing'. I did.  

A friend connected me with a Facebook Group: 'America Patchwork & Quilting's UFO Challenge'.  I was provided with a sheet with a place for a UFO (UnFinished Object) for each month of the year. At the beginning of each month the Group will give me a number from 1-12. The Challenge is to finish the UFO listed for that number in a month. 

The January number was '12'. I finished it. 'Asian Sunflower' a Shisobi Tie Die fabric with embellishments. I tie-dyed muslin at a class at the Emergent Arts in Hot Springs, Arkansas. 

SHELTERED-IN is a Good Thing

I find time to work on my quilt UFO's*

*Unfinished Objects sometimes called WIP-Work in Progress

finish a collage project, 

work on a paint by sticker book that was a Christmas present. 

and even venture into painting with acrylics. 

In between all of that my husband and I work jigsaw puzzles (starting the 22nd one today). Here are some of my favorites:

We go to church on the computer and started our own Bible study to begin each day. We always went to the grocery store, but now are getting back to most of our 'away from home' activities. The result: our priorities reversed. Now our 'at home' activities come first and then we get out and about. Which is a very good thing since we are retired.
