It feels so good to have another quilt finished.  2017 was a good year for finishing pieces.  2018 is shaping up the same way!  This piece I stenciled with Shiva paint sticks.  I love the glimmer that they add.  I also adhered some acrylic gems.  I am linking to http://ninamariesayre.blogspot.ca/

It has been a few years since I have chosen a word for the year.   I have decided on a word this year as I realize it is quite beneficial to me.  This year my word is sufficient.  I fully admit to having hoarding tendencies when it comes to my art and craft supplies.  I am not as bad as some but I do have more than the average bear.  To dig a little deeper I think the collecting of supplies helps me to feel like I am sufficient/enough.  I could blather on more about that but being a very private person don't feel this is the place. Definition of  sufficient 1 a   :  enough to meet the needs of a situation or a proposed end  sufficient  provisions for a month b   :  being a  sufficient condition 2 archaic   :  qualified ,  competent

Happy New Year!  I am excited about 2018!  Lots of good things are happening!  My mixed media self-portrait quilt is just about finished.  The only thing left that I want to do is to cover the back of this quilt with gold transfer foil.  Today I finished the 'tiara'.  It is made up of positive words, dichroic glass, sequins and gems.  This quilt is so outside of the box for me but I had a blast creating it.  Now I need to send the photo to  San Francisco School of Needlework and Design I am linking to http://needleandthreadnetwork.blogspot.ca/ http://www.quiltfabrication.com/ https://sewfreshquilts.blogspot.ca/

I completely enjoyed participating in the stitch a day project this year.  I feel this project added to my productivity and skills.  I have many 6-inch blocks and need to incorporate them into one larger project.  Working in this size is quite good for me.  ] I am linking to https://kathysquilts.blogspot.ca

The prompt all month has been festive.  Again, this doesn't appear to be all that festive.  However, having a white Christmas is festive to me.  I know a lot of people don't like snow but I do like it at Christmas time.  I have no words on this journal page.  I just couldn't think of the right ones.  2017 was a good year.  I learned and grew as a person.  I had many lovely things happen and I am oh so grateful for it all.  I am truly blessed.

The colour for January is yellow.  I had to get a jump start on this as January is pretty busy for me.  It's an interesting sinchie but I am not sure if I love it.  I reserve the right to do a different one.  My mind is swirling with ideas.  I love that!

 It is interesting to look at my stitch a day projects this year.  I can foresee some of them coming together to make a bigger project.  Others won't fit in but may work into some other project.  Meanwhile, I completely enjoyed doing this stitching.  This is a project I would be keen to do again.     I am linking to http://ninamariesayre.blogspot.ca/
