The new year has me reflecting on how I go about sewing, and I am making some plans (is it too late for them to be resolutions?) about what and how I want to sew this year.
1. Finish more. I am really good at diving into projects, pretty okay at finishing tops, and horrible at follow-through. This is why I still have UFOs from more than eight years ago (almost a quarter of my life!). I have already taken a stab at this particular UFO, and I'm hoping to finish the binding soon. I'm also thinking of using the Finish It Up Friday link up at Crazy Mom Quilts as motivation to push myself to follow through on more. Which leads me to...
2. Blog more. As I've said before, once I miss a bit, I feel like I'll never catch up, and it perpetuates itself. I am going to try to post more, maybe with more link ups - and hopefully with more finishes! I want an awesome collage of finishes at the end of 2012.
3. Explore more. I want to push myself to learn new things (hopefully without starting too many new tangent UFOs.) I am signed up for a free motion quilting class this week (and I have to finish my basting homework in prep for that!). I also have a project set on the shelf because of my fear of Y-seams, which I need to get over and tackle. I know I'll make good friends with my seam ripper for both of these, but they'll make me a better and more well-rounded quilter.
