I have been thinking that it's time for a "year in review" post but can't seem to get there. I think my crazy week is stunting my thought processes. <br />Mary Marcottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14569619947909529203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231509571353812426.post-86642537297489872552019-01-11T13:31:08.489-06:002019-01-11T13:31:08.489-06:00What a productive year you had!

Wish I could hand quilt but it messes up my fingers. <br />Your quilts glow. That's partly why we all like to read your blog. The other part is the fun designs you make. <br />Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12922656955543465650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231509571353812426.post-66214602329827711972019-01-09T14:12:46.545-06:002019-01-09T14:12:46.545-06:00Thanks, Mel.

I'm trying to finish up old projects and I'm finding that the colors I loved at the time I began a project are not necessarily what I like now. But, I'm determined to see them through. If I work on them long enough, maybe I'll fall in love again. I'd like to sew some clothes for myself too. Just think, a project you could start and finish in a single week - boggles my mind~Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14423024947233260195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231509571353812426.post-63745879724534556442019-01-08T10:09:41.387-06:002019-01-08T10:09:41.387-06:00clothing!
