January is here - Wow! But of course I did know it was coming it wasn't a surprise. Our New Year Eve was not the event we had planned. There is a Cold and Flu that has hit our area and is kicking a lot of hiney's around here which included my hubby's - starting on New Years eve. The hospital is full and even sending people with Pneumonia home. So, we've been laying low and I've been doing some hand stitching.
I think I posted in my last post ... Yep just checked, that I wanted to work on Christmas and Winter projects most of the year because a couple of months before Christmas each year is not enough time to get all these cute Santa's and Snowmen finished. Sew - with that in mind, my first UFO and project for the month and year is this one - Let it Snow. This was a BOM from Buttermilk Basin in 2016 I believe and I want to finish it up.
I need to finish the hand stitching of the two blocks on the right side and then add my borders and quilt.
I will also be linking this up to OMG at Elm Street Quilts.
I am also working at down sizing my scrap stash - so I am cutting up scraps. For my organization I chose 5 patterns that I want to use and I'm putting them into piles accordingly. I am also using the random monthly color suggestions from Rainbow Scrap Challenge. Each month she gives a color and a link up. This month is light blue. I'll post a little more about that later.
Hope you have a Blessed day filled with lots of sewing.

Fun project. Thanks for linking up with Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal and good luck on your project.
ReplyDeleteYour snowman project is adorable! I've got a Christmas WIP that I'm hoping to turn into a finished top this month, too. I am wishing BOTH of us luck with our Christmasy goals!
