Bringing 2013 To A Close

she can quilt

You may - or may not - recall that my third quarter in the FAL was a total washout. Being the eternal optimist, I stuck a whole load of things on the list for the fourth quarter on the premise that the more that was there, the more chance I would have of finishing something on said list.

And it worked! Woohoo!!!

I had eight items on the list. I'm not going to go over them all here. If you want to check then here is the post. My success rate is still not all that high, but I am thrilled that there are three items that I managed to finish. 

Number one - the Yak hoop I made for Sarah's nursery.


Number two - my long awaited and much cherished HR Fan Club quilt. If I only finished this in the previous three months I would still be happy.


Number three - my LV quilt, Good Morning Star Shine. Another quilt I am happy with that dwelled in my imagination for a long time before I made it.


And that makes three. I'm happy to be in with a chance to win something this quarter, and more happy with what I have made. Mind you, I still have five things unfinished from that list, and we won't discuss that items that I have not placed upon a list and therefore can pretend don't need doing. Or the fact that I have started two new quilts over the holidays. Nah, we won't think about that at all. Sewing is good, no matter what we are sewing.
