The second group is 2013 Lovely Year of Finishes (see button in my sidebar). Each month we set a specific goal of something we want to finish that month. This is what I want to finish this January:
It is a quilt top made of blue scraps (also mentioned a post or two ago); I used the "dump and sew" method. I didn't really "dump," though. I just pulled out my blue scrap bin and started sewing. I like this method. It grows and morphs into its own thing, usually not at all what I envisioned for it. The picture shows the top, sitting on my table waiting for some attention. I plan to get this quilted and bound this month. It'll be a challenge, because I rarely quilt something this large on my own little machine. Wish me luck!
At the end of the year, I will have 12 projects done for the Lovely Year of Finishes! Not to mention the 12 doll quilts for the monthly swap... I can envision needing to overlap these projects, but hope not to do that very often. That will depend on how crazy 2013 becomes. I am hoping for a year lacking in craziness.

Well Carol I am glad you have found direction in your life. I was beginning to worry about you. Your propensity for hanging out in the streets with shady characters was becoming somewhat scandalous. Remember an idle mind is the devil's workshop.
Myself? I take long naps interrupted by paragraphs. People see me sitting in the chair with the Kindle in my lap and think, "oh he has become so well read in his retirement."
If I was to hang out in the streets I may aimlessly wander off.
Seriously, while quilting is not exactly my thing, I sense your excitement in this post. You Go Girl!
Perhaps I should grab my kindle now before I make a bigger ass of myself.
Where on earth do you get the time? You amaze me.
Thanks for the info about the year of finishes group...
I am going to sign up!
Sounds like a good plan to me! I like what your pile of blue scraps has grown into. =)
