IF I work really hard, I think I can conceivably finish at least one of my current projects by January 18th. That means I can start another one. :)
Starting Wednesday, January 18th, Fresh Lemons Quilts is having a five week quilt along. Every week she'll introduce a new quilt block, along with instructions and links that help teach you the technique for that block. It's like taking a quilting class, except it's in cyberspace. Even if I only make 5 blocks (which is 1/5 of what you need for a full size quilt), it'll still be five blocks I've made while learning a new technique. AND, I'm not buying new fabric, but am using what I already have in my stash.
I'm doing something similar with a quilt shop in Raleigh. They have this program called "Saturday Sampler" (It's the fourth item listed under the NEWS section on their homepage.) Basically you buy one kit for $5. You choose a class time (from 4-5 time slots) where you sit through an instructional session on how to make the block. You have one month to go home and sew the pieces in your kit into that block, and the next month you take the completed block back and receive the next block kit free. IF you don't finish the block you have, you can pay $5 to get the next one. I'm a little excited by it.
And hopefully my next post will be showing at least one of 2 finished household projects that I'm working on.
