While I've been terrible about the blog, I'm actually quite happy with my progress on quilting. I was spending so much time focusing on the down parts of my quilting roller coaster that I'd all but discounted the ups and the soaring ride in general.
First, a big THANK YOU! and I LOVE YOU! to my hubby. He surprised me with exactly what I wanted on Christmas morning.
The Birds of a Feather weekend quilting retreat with Virginia Longarm Network at the beautiful Founders Inn & Spa in Virginia Beach, VA.
Best. Christmas. Present. Ever!
It's exactly what I wanted & needed to keep my quilty juices flowing. Let me know if you're going to be there.
I just finished putting the binding on my fall quilt. I'll be stitching the back down this evening. I haven't named it yet so I don't have the label. I'd planned on a bottom left corner placement, so I'd better get thinking.

I'm determined to get back to my old normal posting schedule. Here's what I have planned for the coming week.
Motif Monday: I've got a nice block motif to share tomorrow. You can see a sneak peek of it above.
Technique Tuesday: I'm going to share my favorite free motion quilting tips and what I've completed this year.
Wednesday: Happy New Year! I'll share my goals for 2014.
Thoroughly Modern Thursday: I have a pattern for a quick win modern quilt I designed.
Free Form Friday: I have time to decide on this one!
…with more to come.
…with more to come.
As I sit here writing this post, I realize that I've really missed writing about my quilt journey. There's something therapeutic about sharing my quilting hopes, successes & failures.
Don't forget to appreciate and reflect on all parts of your roller coaster!!!

It is fun to write about them and share them with the community isnt it? I find it keeps me focused too. When I know someone is willing to look at it, I'm more likely to do it! :)
