Hello Friends
Hope you are all getting into the holiday spirit. Christmas is fast approaching. Did you make any gifts this year? I am making my daughter to be a felt stocking. Old family tradition. I may try to get a jelly roll rug made for my sister but we will see.
This year I did have some goals that I did not share because the year started on such a traumatic note with the death of my mom. There are a few quilts that need finishing. And I will put my reading goals here too. This year my goal was to read 6 books. I started the year reading the first book of the ACOTAR series. That is a big book and I finished it in the hospital while being with mom. I listened to some audio books too. In July I bought myself a kindle. So far this year I have read 15 books. My goal for next year is 10. I think that is doable but I would like to do more sewing next year so that will take up some reading time.
So my sewing goals for 2026 are:
-make and quilt my word of the year (I think I know it, what would yours be?)
-finish John Wayne quilt (needs quilting and binding)
-finish Plus quilt (needs quilting and binding)
-finish Nautical quilt (may need borders also quilting and binding)
-finish 2 scrap quilts (needs quilting and binding)
-start Legendary quilt for my son
-start Paw print quilt for daughter to be
-possibly start double wedding ring quilt-my son is getting married Jan 8 of next year.
-finish all small projects (table runners that need quilting)
I am going to leave my list here for now. I may add to it as the year progresses.
If you would like to see a reading list of books I have finished, please let me know. I am doing a reading journal this year.
That is all I have for you today. No pictures.
I hope you have a blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Thanks for reading!
Blessings
Amy
