This and That for 2015

First is my recap for finishes in 2014.  Dealing with drought had a big impact on my sewing mojo but I did manage a few small finishes.  There are still a couple of quilts waiting to be quilted so all in good time I guess.


My first finish for 2015 is also my first mini quilt ... with another mini almost finished.


A finish for January also puts me on track for OPAM 2015 hosted by the lovely Kris and Peg ... and also a count for 1 Xmas Item A Month and CTTY over at Anthea's

This week was back to work in town and wouldn't you know it!  I will never complain but with the recent rain event for Queensland I was faced with this 3 afternoons on the way home. I've begun taking an overnight bag and pillow to work with me just in case. I should have some stitching in the car with me to work on while a wait for them to go down.



Preparation for 'Natures Journey' and 'A Merry Christmas Garden' took precedence over housework yesterday. These are going to be my 2 main projects for 2015 as well as finishing off a couple of quilts and ... did I mention DD has set a wedding date so best make that 3 main projects!

Happy Australia Day for tomorrow.

    Maybe not as many finishes as you would have liked Narelle but you did manage to have some - you are also entitled to feeling down when you have been trying to cope with the drought!! A bag and pillow might be a good idea!!lol So good to see that you are having a problem getting home because of roads flooding - a bit of a reprieve for you and the promise of some 'green'!! All the best for a much better 2015 in every way!!

    A finish is a finish no matter how small so well done on getting some in while dealing with drought...you definitely need to pack some stitching into that just in case bag!...your mini quilt looks great, well done on your first finish for 2015, I'm not doing the January stitchery but it will be fun to stitch along for the SAL :)

    Narelle, if I was to read one of your blogs regularly, which one should I follow? lol
    I only have one, plus Sew It's Finished, which we both belong to.
