New goal in 2018:
Finish all the projects in the project pile...and no new ones until those are done!!

The only reason this may be possible is that one of my very best friends who has taken up quilting with me is helping coach me through my crafting ADHD.  Currently, scrapbooking is taking a back seat to sewing and beginning quilting.   On my list of unfinished projects...queen size quilt (first one...why queen size...what was I thinking!?), fall table runner (original comp. date Nov. 2017, revised to Sept. 2018 LOL), place mats (those should have been finished last summer), 3 tote bags (presents for sisters and mom for Christmas 2017, one will be done...for sure...by March for sis bday), coffee cup insulating sleeves (January 2017), and I'm sure I am forgetting something.  I have a special corner where all these are piled up and I would like to see the pile disappear this year.

I have almost finished the tote bag for my sister.  I am using beautiful Benartex fabrics: Bree by Nancy Halvorsen.  This fabric is my favorite of the collection:
I only have to sew the lining pockets, sew lining to bag and it will be finished.  Nice easy pattern, no zippers or anything fancy but I'm a beginner still.  Maybe today will be the day it is complete. 

Saturday will pick up BOM, I actually finished last months blocks in January! A minor miracle.

Crossing my fingers that I can post a picture of a finished project on the morrow.
