I know I should not be too excited about 2021 but I sincerely hope it's a better year than 2020 has been. Gosh, we've had ups and downs--plenty of downs--since March. As if Covid-19 wasn't bad enough by itself, the year was rife with discord and unpleasantness across society.
I know January 1 is just another day, the next day after December 31, but couldn't we all use a fresh start? I'm not as full of enthusiasm and expectation as the little one in the postcard above but I can't help but hope!
Happy New Year to you and yours. I wish you blessings galore.
--Nancy.
Here's to hoping right along with you!

ReplyDeleteNancy,in Ireland it's midnight and I cannot believe the amount of STUFF I've accumulated since I started teaching myself to quilt. For the past week I've been trying to sort out the stash. There are times I regret starting this quilt making. I don't know anyone who quilts. I'm not in a financial position to ship fabrics to a charity. I've looked at tutorials of people using every scrap to make bags and cushion covers but whenever I try it-it looks plain ugly. (lol).I happened upon your blog by sheer chance when looking for ideas for scrap usage. When I saw your planning on getting rid of items I felt we are all in the same boat. All the best for 2021 and lets shop from our stash. I bet Bonnie Hunter would love your shirts. Goodnight. Ciar.
ReplyDeleteI guess we are in a similar situation, Ciar, with plenty of resources at hand. When I think about it, it's surprising that we need so much with two generations ago, women used paper or cardboard patterns, a pencil, scissors, and needle and thread to make quilts. I try to use the fabric I have but sometimes I need a different color or more of a color and end up buy fabric. It accumulates quickly. I hope you can figure out some good patterns for scrap quilts that you'll love! Do you have a blog? If so and you post photos of what you're working on, I would love to see it.
ReplyDeleteTake care.
