Resolved to Sew 2012

Ali over at Very Berry Handmade is having a super cool giveaway going on this week and next with a whole heap of fantastic prizes. Blog about your 2012 sewing resolutions and link back to her blog for a chance to win.

My resolutions are:

1.  Use scraps as much as possible.  Bust those scraps!

2.  Finish one UFO per month.  See this post for UFO's on my radar this year...

      http://new2quilting.blogspot.com/2011/12/twelve-ufo-challege-for-2012.html  There is also a tab at

     the top of my blog with this title.

3.  Build seven houses per week for the 365 houses this year for the building houses from scraps QA.

     (See button on sidebar for details).

4.  Learn to say NO to some quiltalongs.  Join a few here and there, but don't start every one!

5.  Work on my free-motion quilting skills.  For this I am following SewCalGal and Leah Day's blogs and

     keeping up with their challenges.

Of all the awesome prizes on the list I think I'd like to win this bundle from Backstitch. Wish me luck!  But the Kate Spain four FQ bundle does rank a close second for me.



I couldn't resist posting a pic of my favorite sled-rider.  Life is so much fun.
