Can you believe that 2017 is almost done with? I can't. I should though since the cold weather is here and, of course, my car isn't working. I swear that the car knows when I am getting short paychecks from work and/or the holiday season zaps my money. So what is a girl to do? When the girl is a crafter, she decides to stay home (even though she couldn't go anywhere if she wanted to) and craft. Notice I said craft and NOT clean.
I have been pretty productive. I finished up the cat wall hanging for my friend Janine.
I can't get to the post office to mail it but I did send her a picture of it and she said she loved it.
That wasn't the only thing that I finished. I did finish up the test pattern for The Quilt Pattern Magazine but can't show it to you yet. I also signed up for testing another pattern. What can I say, I love that magazine and I love testing their patterns. They stretch my quilting abilities but that's ok. It's how we learn, right?
I did start another wall hanging yesterday. Here is the picture of the tentative layout. It's the Illusion quilt pattern from Missouri Star Quilt Company. I totally LOVE their videos. They help me grow also.
I am thinking that I will add another row or two to make it 4 across and probably five down. We'll see. I have enough left over that I might extend it out to 6 across and 5 down. I'll have to see how it looks after adding another row down. It will be the same colors that I've used here. If I have any left over, I might do something with them to make a table runner. This would hang up above my table in the office so a matching table runner would be nice. It would brighten up the office. This might be another pattern that I keep for a "go to" pattern.
It's time to get back to sewing (or perhaps take a nap). I hope everybody had a great holiday and will be looking forward to seeing 2018 arrive.
