2011, already?

Wow, were did 2010 go?

Last year was a year of many changes - I got married, relocated back to Vancouver, and transitioned back into a world of "family" after many years of being "independent".  I'm still re-adjusting to the West Coast even though I grew up here. 

I don't usually have resolutions but here are a few for 2011, for fear if I don't document them here, they will be forgotten.

1) QUILTING
To begin and *hopefully* finish one crazy, intricate, heirloom quilt with very many, very small scrap-sized pieces of fabric.  Inspired by this and this.
To design, begin and also *hopefully* finish one value quilt.  Inspired by this and this.

...AND to not buy any new fabric.

2) SEWING
To use my sewing machine at least once a month, even if it's for 10 minutes to hem pants.

...AND to not buy any new fabric.

3) KNITTING
To finish all my UFOs (some lingering since 2005!).

... AND to not buy any new yarn. 

I'll leave you with a list of UFOs, so you can see how serious my problem is:
 
 
 
 
 
 

I think that's more than enough to keep me busy!!

Best Wishes for 2011!
