A Brand New Year


Happy New Year Everyone.  Let's hope it's a good one.  My wish for you all is that you stay in good health, enjoy every minute of the day, sew many hours, and finish lots of UFO's.
The new year always brings a little frustration to me. I am still one of those people that write checks for my household bills. No online banking for me.  So each year it takes me a while to get the new numbers in my head. I hope no frustrations come up for you.
I bought a charm pack from Nanette's Etsy store and the package came yesterday.  It was like Christmas again.  
Look at this fabric covered button.  So cute.
Here are some of the charms and the trim.

Nanette sent one of her little house ornaments too. I hung it in the tree which is coming down today.


Here is some of the quilting on my Red Delicious BOM. 

With Passion, Carrie P.

If there is any kindness I can show, or any good thing I can do to any fellow human being, let me do it now, and not defer or neglect it, as I shall not pass this way again.     William Penn

No on-line banking for me either. Great charm pack from Nanette. LOVE the little house. Pretty redwork. I usually start the New Year off motivated to finish those UFOs, while starting more projects.
