Happy Chinese New YearHappy Chinese New Year to all those celebrating today.  I feel like I’ve been given another chance to start the year afresh since the last few weeks have been chaotic and all over the place.

I don’t make resolutions (cos I’ll just break them) but here’s my very short wishlist (short because I’m not sure how much time I’ll get for sewing this year).

sandi-henderson-anna-maria-horner-denyse-schimdt-heather-bailey1.  Sew something from this stash – some I bought with something in mind but most have no plans for them yet.

2.  Sew something from these patterns – I’m sure I’ll find something to sew from the books or the patterns but will I be brave enough to try the Japanese ones?

3.  Finish this kaleidoscope quilt – this queen size quilt has been sitting in plain sight for the last 5 months, taunting me to just get on with it and start quilting.  Just the mere thought of its size scares me.  I don’t even have the room to start basting and don’t own any basting pins so how long would hand basting take?  So I’m giving myself a year to finish this and I do want it finished.
