Changes in my quilting

My quilting has changed over the years, as it should....

I decided to take the phone camera and snap some photos to show the changes.

Daughter V has been cleaning out her room and brought this wallhanging up to me.

I made this alot of years ago when she was a little one and lived for Soccer. Of course, as girl's grow up, she discovered boys, and soccer went out the window.

I use to try and document every little thing in fabric...no anymore!

I have also entered a couple of quilts each year in our Davis County Fair. At first, I was really scared to try and compete, and the last few years I have entered out of habit. I'm not sure I'm going to enter anything this year.

I have been pretty good in keeping control of my sewing piles....not anymore. The three white bags in the photo are quilts that have been waiting for binding for months...months, people! I need to get it together!

I have purchased a new planner for the year and am going to set my goals...I don't wait until New Years Eve. So much to do, so little time........

Sunny, cold Sunday

My hubby did some outdoors clean up yesterday when it was about 50 degrees...then it snowed a few inches last night. I am very ready for Spring! I want to see bulbs bursting out of the wet ground into beautiful blooms...I want to wear just one long sleeve shirt and not layers....I want to walk the dogs without spending more time dressing to go out compared to being outdoors.

I spent a quiet day indoors today (missed Church) because of a bad cold. I watched a video, worked on this blog layout (still not completely happy with it) and slept a few times.

I realized that I made many "lists" on this blog and got thinking about my life and my lists. I am always making lists. I have lists for the family, grocery shopping, quilt meeting (I'm one of the program planners for 2008), doctor visits, calls to make, birthday cards to send out....lists, lists, lists! Am I accomplishing anything with these to-do papers? Most of the time....yes.

Looking forward to this week, my "list" includes-driving to school, babysitting so a friend can go to the Temple, E's baby shower, sewing/quilting, cleaning, cooking, book club and a dentist visit for me. I am also going to send out postcards for the "wish you were here" exchange, plus one for postcrossing.com.

Have a very productive week, with or without a list!
