Thank you for Coming!

Happy New Year and Happy January!  Thank you for visiting.

I love the fresh start of a new year.  I don't even mind that it is January. All I need is a cozy quilt, a quilt book and some good movies.

Here is the full quilt I made in 2005.   It is not big, but just big enough to cover me up on the couch.

The baskets are 3" finished.   I swapped them with my Illinois friend, Sheila.

 Here is the rough pattern I use if you want to try sewing some.

I can not thank you all enough for  continuing support of my DWR quilt.  It really has been a labor of love.  I did take out the center (with a new seam ripper)I basted it last week while watching the nonsense in Congress.I spent the weekend machine quilting it in the ditch to stabilize it.

  This year I'm practising Dry January, which means no Friday Cosmopolitan and no wine.  I'm getting pretty good at mocktails.  Kombucha with fruit is my favorite evening drink. (second favorite)

I'm having lots of fun thinking about the houses I'm making for  Corrine's and Cecile's 2023 Quilt Along.  See details here.I'm planning a rural farm scene and will be making a horse house, or barn next.

So blog friends, how are you keeping up with your blog reading?  I am having a challenge since Bloglovin is gone.  I have built a list on my home blog page and I also check my blogger dashboard reading list, but it is more challenging.  

When boggers leave a comment, I am adding them to my blog homepage. 

Thank you for visiting and I wish you a Peaceful Happy New Year!
