Time to take inventory of your UFOs and make that
New Year Resolution to get them FINISHED in 2017!
Well, that is the plan for me....
As a matter of fact, I am so committed to finishing up all my UFOs that I'm not even going to attend Piecemakers annual 40% off sale today.... (but if you're in the area you may want to...just sayin...)
I did finish my Christmas Quilts:
Spring is in the Air by Lizzie B Cre8ive
For Miss Sadie (my great niece), which I’d been working on for several
months.
If you like applique, Lizzie B Cre8ive are the patterns for you!

Sadie's brother also received a quilt this year. This was a fast, fun quilt to sew.
The pattern is Starburst from Missouri Star Quilt Company's magazine, BLOCK.
See this blog post for October 24, 2016. (This is a great magazine!)
This was the first time I've ever worked with pre-cuts.
I will most definitely use pre-cuts again.
Before Binding & Binding
Finished
My friend Charlotte Smith quilted this one for me.
She used a CANDY CORN pattern!!!
Isn't it fun?!
The quilting really does make a difference.True, it's not cheap to have your quilts professionally quilted,
but if you are making memory quilts, it is so worth it.

Sew, 2016 is a wrap.
Before my work world gets ramped up for the new year I will clean my sewing room and take inventory of all my UFO's, make my list for Christmas 2017 quilts and get ready for a sewing 2017.
