And so a new year begins. As I've done in the past, some quilty friends and I met at Piecemakers Country Store on New Years Day for their annual 40% off sale...and lunch. We laughed, we shopped, we ate. Getting all ready for a year of quilting.
Each of us purchased fabric for our next project: Nancy, fabric for a bed runner using batiks; Kate, fabric to make her granddaughter a quilt; myself, 10 yards of what I call a "calming fabric." A fabric I will use with my scrap quilts to "calm" them down.

I had already decided that 2019 will be the year of the "scrap quilt." I am sewing up all my scraps. Every left over strip, every square, every crumb I've been throwing into bins. My goal is to have very few scraps or even a stash at the end of 2019.
I have been saving pictures of other scrap quilts posted on Facebook for inspiration.
Christmas 2019 I'll be sending lap quilts to all my siblings. What they will all have in common is this fabric.

And, now, how 'bout you? What are your 2019 quilty goals?
