I have struggled the last few days in choosing a "word" for 2019. I chose "Clarity" for 2018 and I felt like it backfired on me. In the past year, I have had a detached retina and a Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion in my right eye. At the present time I have a cataract in that eye which will be corrected on January 21st. So, it has been a struggle to apply "Clarity" to my life in 2018.
I had finally decided on NO Word for 2019 when I saw this cartoon by Linier on Facebok and it is perfect! I look forward to new opportunities, adventures, friends, and travels.
2019 Opportunity
2018 Clarity

UFO Challenge 2019
UFO Challenge 2019
My Quilt Guild, Calico Cutters, has issued a challenge to all members.
The rules are as follows:
- Before January 1st make a list of 12 projects you want to finish before the end of 2019.
- Every month, the Guild organizer will announce a randomly generated number bewteen 1 and 12.
- Check the list you made in December. The number generated tells you what project you should work on each month.
- Share your works in progress or finished project at the next Guild meeting or on social media.
- If you are swamped one month, skip it and move on. Can't motivate to work on the project or your list? Choose another.
My 12 projects:
- Flamingo Quilt
- Gnome Quilt
- Baby Quilt
- One Block Wonder
- Bootacular
- Splendid Sampler
- Solstice Quilt
- Rail Fence Star Quilt
- Charity Quilt
- Bargello Quilt
- 2018 Monthly Color Challenge Quilt
- Organize Sewing Room
Instead of a 12th UFO, I added organizing my sewing room because this project will force me to do it at least once in the next 12 months. I decided to bag and number the projects. Clearing off the pool table was more challenging than I imagined...and I really only moved everything to my sewing table for the present time. Tomorrow is another day!
I am also partcipating in the 2019 Monthly Color Challenge and will be posting my blocks each month in addition to the UFO.
Another Goal for this year is to learn a new technique in quilting...I will be keeping my mind open to new opportunities!
The numbers chosen:
January - #7 - Pat Sloan's Solstice Quilt
