I admittedly only joined the Joy in the New Year challenge half-heartedly, as seen here. If you remember, the challenge was to actually finish as many UFOs (unfinished objects) as you could before January 1st. So you could be joyful at your clean slate at the start of the year. And there were prizes drawn for those that reported finishes.
Well. Hmmm. It was only half-heartedly, remember? I only reported 3 Christmas quilts initially as my UFOs. And I never reported any finishes. Because I have no finishes. BUT, I have been working on one of those reported 3 Christmas quilts!
Definitely not done yet, but just LOOK at these cute snowmen getting some personalities to them, and all of these paper-pieced trees!
This is not the final arrangement at all, but I am happy with my progress! This quilt *will* be finished some time, I swear! It is not being put away!

I'm nanann! I am a 30-something mom to 2 beautiful girls (6 and 4) living in Austin, Texas. I LOVE quilting and have recently taken up sewing clothes since it is just too much fun to do for my girls. This blog is a little bit about my quilting (or making of “woogies” as they’re known in my household) and other crafts, and a little bit about my two girls.
I love it! How exciting to see it come together. Don’t give yourself too hard of a time about not finishing your UFOs. You’ll get there : )
