Running into 2014

Well another year has passed.... Filled with cocktails and thread.... It was indeed an awesome year for quilts and creativity....

I wish everyone love and continued stitching blessings as we move into a new year filled with even more creative thoughts and ideas and the desire to find more time to complete them all.

I will be running in the NYE Midnight Run in Central Park this year.. I'm excited and have been making tutus... Here are aome pics... Enjoy and see ya next year... Smiles

My tshirt that will go over my clothes.

My running number....

The start of Honey B's tutu... Mine will be purple of course... 

Bling has been added...

The front of her tutu.

And the back fluffed up...

Tis the season to be sewing....

Sooo what have I been up too.  Treating myself... Opted to purchase my gifts this year to avoid the stress of having to complete things.  Genius.  I have no idea why I didn't think of this for the past few decades.  Lol

So I have been able to have dinners, bake cakes, cook turkey's in many flavors, bootcamp with glee and have lovely sit in stitch days.

So here is a pictorial review of December, thus far.

I'm pebbling baby....

Finished my four ring... Hanging up art the NYC Mod meeting on the 7th..

Gotta get the selfie in at the meeting.

Then after the meeting I ran home to finish cooking and prepping for my dinner that Saturday.  I love my ALOC3 folks... Second anniversary dinner...cocktails and thread style.

Pernil style turkey.

The infamously yummy pumpkin spice caramel cake..

Ornament give always...

Fabric wreaths.

Finishing what I start...

Almost done.. Just needs binding

Out and about in my neighborhood.

Ducks on ice... Love my neighborhood.

Bootcamp morning... 5:30am

High tea with my book club - ladies of the folio...

New project ideas... On a snowy sewy morning.

More boot camp morning... Yes it's 5:30am outside...

Love my mantra band... Yes I am...

Holiday office party fun...

And my last 5:30am session for 2013....this morning...

Alas I have finished the other two DWR

So I began the modern DWR that I sketched out... This category required a minimum of four rings... Interpreted any which way you like... So I decided after folks marry and it's cold they nest... Doni call this "NESTING". There is the traditional DWR construction on a 32" scale, trapunto ring, applique ring, and a thread painted ring...

And I also managed to finish the single ring challenge.

And I wanted to use shott cottons in solids and do something textures in the middle... While it is pleated.. I am calling this one "Pucker up"...
