I have been thinking a lot about what I want to sew this year. Yes, I need to continue the 26 Projects project<\/a>, but it is less important now that I have completed so much and many fewer UFOs. I have been going back and forth between a lot of different ideas. I am not sure if I have settled on one yet.<\/p>\n

One idea is to continue as I did last year. You can see what I made by reading the Year in Review post<\/a>. I made a lot of gifts, made a few donation tops, made a few quilts. While the gifts gave me some direction, I felt like, overall, I was a little directionless.<\/p>\n

I have some goals, but I never attach a date to my goals. I don’t want to add to the guilt I already feel at not getting enough done. One goal is to replace the Ultimate Carry All Bag<\/a>. It had a good run and has some good qualities, but it is not the ideal bag for going to Sew Day or on Retreat.<\/p>\n

I am still looking for the perfect bag pattern. The other day, I was reminded of the Poppins Bag<\/a>. I bought the pattern and the frames in 2019 at PIQF<\/a>, though I have more of a description of the bag from 2018<\/a> (when I didn’t buy it-LOL!).  I haven’t made it yet, though I did look at it last year and felt a bit daunted, but, perhaps, with the start of the year I might be more up for the challenge. It might be a good replacement for the UCAB. It is, however, a daunting pattern.<\/p>\n

One is idea is just to think about what I feel like doing and sewing in that way. Part of that idea is not to make any gifts, or many fewer. I don’t know if that will work as I have a couple of ideas I want to try. I think that idea is to put less stress on myself in terms of deadlines.<\/p>\n

As usual, I want to use up as much fabric as possible. I didn’t make my 100 yard (net) goal last year. Not going to Portland with its tempting quilt shops in January will help with that goal. It does mean a lot of sewing, though.<\/p>\n

I guess we’ll all just have to see how it goes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
