That’s correct! I haven’t finished any projects so far this year! I’ve been busy sewing / quilting on 2 major projects, but not one is finished and I can’t show you either of them yet!
One of the projects is the SAHRR (Stay at Home Round Robin) that starts on Monday!! I’ll be using the beautiful Poetic Bouquet fabric collection. The other project is for a new fabric line called Sunlit Garden … no it’s not Black and White, but my picture is!!

Ah, yes, the joy of being a designer / creator … but at least we know that eventually each project will have it’s day to shine! Thank you for hosting Wednesday Wait Loss!

Nice to make the ‘grade’! The sewing is still enjoyable…even without a finish every time.
