As I look at these empty spools I see that my stitching has brought a lot of joy, a desire that I hope will continue this year.At long last I've finally finished the piecing of the Love quilt and have it all pinned out and ready to quilt. Then comes the pattern writing. I'm sure many of you thought I must have given up on this one.....
Half way through putting the rows together of a star quilt. Using Amandajean's layout, with a few changes to the blocks used.
A Christmas quilt that I stared in the middle of last year, but never got around to finishing. The last of the applique stitches went into this one last night, so now all that's left is a final border and pin it out ready to quilt. Hopefully this month will bring a few finishes.
Speaking of finishes May Britt and Kris have spurred me on with their challenge to finish up some of these languishing ufo's.Of course there will be new projects started, like the lovely new BOM that Anne from Bunny Hills has offered.
With the rush from this past Christmas gift making, I've decided that my Christmas stitching will just continue throughout the year until I have it all completed. No more rushing like a mad woman to meet a postal deadline.
This month is an extremely important month in our house. Without going into all the boring details that have spanned the last almost 5 years, on the 22nd of January the Immigration department will decide whether I will be permitted permanent residency in the US, or whether I need to return to Australia. Please keep this in your prayers. I'm trusting God for a positive outcome.
Happy Stitching.

I don't make resolutions either. I make attainable goals and then I feel success. Looking forward to seeing your finished projects. Every thing is crossed and all good thoughts heading your way about your residency.
Empty spools - what a fun way to record your stitching for the year *s*
Will be thinking of you on the 22nd and praying for you that all goes according to plan. Best Wishes. D. :=)
Linda,
I will be praying for you...and your residency status. Your quilts
are so lovely and your new site is so uplifting and inspiring, plus reaffirming this weary one.
Hugs, Barb
Linda, I call all I look forward to, in the New Year, as goals. No resolutions that might get broken. It seems blogland is full of inspiration for us to accomplish these goals.
Love all the projects, but the primitive plaid one looks interesting.
You'll be in my thoughts and prayers on the 22nd. Can we send a vote in?
Keep Stitchen'

Positive thoughts and prayers from NY to OK.
Three very lovely projects. I'm so looking forward to seeing your completed love quilt. Maybe Valentine's Day would be a good day to reveal the finished quilt? No pressure LOL.
Good luck on 22nd. I am sure you will be granted your wish to stay in the USA but I will have everything crossed on that day just as security.
Linda, Thanks for the help.
goodluck with immigration......
Your stitching looks beautiful Linda. I don't do the resolutions but "face a fear a year" and challenge myself to overcome something. Good luck with the permanent residency too x
Will keep that in prayer.

Lovely quilts, Linda. I was wondering if you would let me know who designed the pattern for the angel you made for Stina. I'd love to get one to make for a dear quilting friend.
Cheers...Ann :)
