I can't say that I have a great track record of making or keeping New Year's resolutions. That is okay. Each year I set out to do a little better than the year before. Even if I don't totally succeed, the process is good for me - I like it.
The New Years tradition dates back 4,000 years. I like the Welsh superstition that my hubby described on his blog Leadernotes,
So I hope all of you open your doors (at least metaphorically) and have a wonderful 2006.
How about this for a resolution:
Are you with me? Don't leave me hanging on this alone. We can all do with a little exorcism of our past sins. Come on, commit right now to reduce that pile of fabric with a pile of quilts. If you stick with it, by next December you may have three or four hand-made gifts. If everyoone you know already has a quilt made by you, consider a children's hositable or shelter.
If you have any other great resolution ideas, don't be shy. Leave me a comment.

"In Wales, tradition has it that at the first toll of midnight, the back door should be opened and then shut to release the old year and lock out all of its bad luck. Then at the twelfth stroke of the clock, the front door is opened and the New Year is welcomed with all of its good luck."
So I hope all of you open your doors (at least metaphorically) and have a wonderful 2006.
How about this for a resolution:
I resolve to shrink my fabric stash by 50%.

I don't know if I can commit to using up 50% of my stash - that would require that I not buy anymore!!! :o) My resolution is to do my Christmas sewing bit by bit all year so I don't run out of time come December. I think this year, my theme for gifts will be purses.

Have you visited the stash quilts web ring? It's for quilting bloggers who want to use up stash... http://judylaquidara.com/stashquilts.html
I have started attacking my fabric stash to make fabric bowls, bags, purses, totes, etc., and scarves. And I just leanerd how to knit with fabric strips- all other ways to play with stash fabric, but not in the same old ways!!
