2019 Planning Party ends today, so I've been trying to give it all some thought!
The Quilts
- First and foremost there are two quilts that need to be finished - my Summer Sampler, and my Homage Bee Sewcial quilt. Both are in the quilting stage now, so January finishes seem more than feasible.
- I may lag behind a bit, but I really want to participate in Meghan/Then Came June's I Heart You sew-along, and make the quilt for my new grandgirl. The scraps are calling me, so I'm going to use Lindsey/@penandpaperpatterns scrappy patchwork pattern hack.
- It continues to be my goal to post here on the blog two to three times a week, but that ebbs and flows with whatever is going on.
- Expect to see me over on Instagram, natch.
- The Scrap Basket - With 76 issues published over 3 years, and a readership of nearly 4500, my newsletter still seems a viable use of my time. It has some avid fans for sure, though it's a medium with alot less interaction than Instagram, or even the blog. Still, I enjoy sharing directly with those that appreciate it, so we'll plan to continue it for now.
It's right around the corner and I'm grateful I get to go again this year. This time hubby and mom are flying back with me, as we'll also be visiting our family in Nashville and beyond. I need to get prepping for my two classes. Oh! And sew a couple of hanging sleeves on!
Trunk Shows
There are two planned for this Spring - for a luncheon for women at my church; and in June for the local Mukilteo Lighthouse Quilters. Yet another is in the works. Not really planning any out-of-state presenting this year.
The Rest
I have just an inkling of a pattern in my mind, and I'm hoping to flesh that out. We'll see. And I'd really like to host another quick little improv sewalong on Instagram. Hoping I can make that happen. Other than that, I seriously want to just see what comes. I hope to leave room for plenty of spontaneous sewing - that's my favorite. Sound good? I think so too.
Sounds better than good, it sounds great!
ReplyDeleteLeaving room for spontaneous sewing sounds perfect, Debbie. I hope our paths get to cross in person in Nashville, and I look forward to seeing what 2019 brings for you. Thank you so much for linking up with the Planning Party!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a platform to move around on, no barriers to stop the flow of ideas. I for one will be following the blog and "the Scrap Basket" and IG. Looking forward to each and every encounter of 2019. Wishing you a Happy and Healthy 2019
ReplyDeleteSounds great! I always enjoy seeing what you’re up to. I’m sure the newsletter is a lot of work, but just so you know, I love reading it. I’m always happy to see it pop up in my inbox!
ReplyDeleteJust to let you know, but I love your newsletter! I always save it to read until I have some dedicated time to really peruse and follow all the links. I have a clue how much work all that is, and I wanted you to know how much I appreciate it!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you have a busy year planned! Wishing you all the best for 2019!
sounds like a great year to come! I'm with you on the spontaneous sewing! My favorite too
ReplyDeleteSounds fantastic to me. Not sure I am going to get a plan together for this year. Things generally go a bit wonky so might just stay spontaneous all around.
ReplyDeleteSounds perfectly reasonable to me! I rarely plan my day let alone my year! Happy New Year and looking forward to meeting you in Nashville!
ReplyDeleteOh I love the idea of just spontaneous sewing!!! Happy New Year Debbie!
ReplyDeleteI love that you’re leaving lots of room for spontaneous sewing and to just let stuff happen! Happy 2019!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to more of your amazing finishes - especially the Summer Sampler :) And as much as I would love to meet you at Quilt Con, I will still not make it. Hoping for 2020 but even that is still in doubt. I hope you enjoy all your sewing and blogging adventures. Have a great 2019!
