New Year Musing

Good heavens it's hard to believe that 2011 is here already. Took down Christmas today, seems as though I only put the tree up yesterday.
Changed my Christmas Wall quilt for an old favourite, "Millenium" quilt, made in 2000/2001 and featured in a APQ Showcase Special in 2002. Still love all the fabrics and the digitised embroidery, it still looks like new.
The year at PatchWorks was busy until closing on 24th December, with classes and customers and the business of planning for this new year. Have a number of projects in the pipeline, several quilts as well as two Art to Wear projects. Have been invited to exhibit at Fairfield City Museum and Gallery in April, and then comes Art to Wear at Darling Harbour. Would like to enter an Art quilt in the Tasmanian Quilt show, but because it will be early this year may not make the deadline.
Also taking a course on Embellishing with the wonderful Dale Rollerson from the Thread Studio in Perth, my favourite online shop in the whole world. Have had the Embellishing Machine since last year, purchased after a marvellous workshop with Jan Beaney and Jean Littlejohn, and used only once, so hoping for progress in this area.
