My only target for 2017 will be to create more consistently, however small.
I have begun this by looking at what fabric I already have and how I can use it up. I spent some productive time yesterday, ably assisted by my grand daughter Hope, cutting squares of some pink and blue fabric left from some quilts I made for some new arrivals. I now have a list of a few extra FQs I need to turn these squares into quilts that will be destined for Project Linus. I also found some log cabin blocks made from some Tim Holtz fabric I bought (I think in Hobbycraft) and which didn't get any further. I will also get some more fabric to go with the blocks to create yet another quilt for Project Linus.
Last week I got myself organised to start a piece of canvaswork which had been buzzing around in my head for some time. A birthday gift of a collection of different threads begged to be used for canvaswork, so I began by colouring a canvas with some painted bondaweb which I tore into shapes that were laid down in a sort of landscape. The pack was called Pastel Seas so I suppose it's more of a Seascape. I added some additional perle cottons from my own thread stash. Work is underway but here it what it looked like when ready to start.
I also have another pack called Moorland that I think will become Freeform Crochet. But I must get all the above finished first!
Happy New Year to everyone.
