I have been blessed with quilting work to do for customers who have ordered special quilts made for loved ones. I am thrilled and honored to be chosen to make their wishes and dreams come true.
The countdown....
Are you at a loss of what to make for each person on your list? Have you suddenly realized that time is slipping by quickly? Never fear. There is still time. Depending on how much time you have to quilt there is time to make a quilt or two. Don't think you have enough time to make a bed quilt? Use an easy pattern that you have done before, or even a new pattern that is easy to do. Not that much time? There are lap quilts, wall hangings, table runners, and mug rugs to be made.
The countdown is also on for you to make out your wish list. What do you want for Christmas? Do others know what you want? We all have our 'out of reach' wish list, and then we have our realistic wish list. Go ahead and make your list.
Put everything on it that you have ever dreamed of. Everything from a longarm machine, a new sewing machine, an embroidery machine, notions, fabric, fabric organizers, quilting classes, and even gift certificates to your favorite LQS!
As much as we all have a lot in our stash and all the equipment that we have I know there is MORE.
On my wish list this year? I'd love an embroidery machine, even a small one. I'd also like another domestic sewing machine. I could use a new ruler or two as two of mine have nicks in them. And then there are the usual small items you never seem to have enough of. - seam rippers for one.
Oh, and I still want a new camera. lol That's quilt related! I need to be able to take photos of my quilts and the work I do on customer's quilts right? lol
So, as time passes by make your lists, check them twice and set to create. Don't set yourself up to get stressed over it. Do what you can and what you enjoy doing, nothing more.
Til next time,
Keep those needles stitching,
those creative juices flowing
and enjoy what you do.
