Joy in the New Year

I never posted on Jacquie's Joy in the New Year challenge post, but I have been keeping a mental list of the items I would like to have finished before the start of 2010.

Original List

  • Black Eyed Susan
    • finish top
    • quilt
    • bind
  • Go Navy! T-shirt Quilt
    • make top
    • drop off for quilting
    • bind
  • French Braid Quilt
    • quilt
    • bind
  • Alexander Henry Cars Quilt
    • quilt
    • bind
  • Ugly Eye Spy Quilt
    • quilt
    • bind
  • Brick Road
    • bind
As you can see, there's a lot of quilting and binding that needs to be done.  I can finish tops with no problem, but I usually get paralyzed at the quilting stage.  I get nervous about wrecking my work in the quilting stage, and so the tops languish in their unfinished states.

I feel a renewed dedication to finishing these projects and have worked on things, finished things, and also taken things from storage so I can stare at them and feel guilty about not finishing them.  Feast your eyes on the updated list!

Go ahead.  Congratulate me on some progress.

PS-- I went to the Handmade Holiday craft show, saw Krystal, bought some cute junk, and had a lot of fun.  I will definitely go again next year.  I love craft shows!
