Quilting must be the fountain of youth hobby.
Look at how many older quilters are still at it and in great form!

Sometime since Thanksgiving I read (maybe in AARP magazine) that it's been proven that people that have things that they are interested in or look forward to - whether it's a trip they're going to take and are planning, reading great books, learning a new language, all kinds of things were listed - live longer than those that just sit and let the world go by. Now, when I go to my sewing room and look at that fabric and books with future projects it has a NEW MEANING!!! I should live well in to my 300's!!

Ditto, when decorations are down can box them up and store in the loft, so boxes will be out of sewing room. Need to finish quilting king size quilt, add borders, layer and quilt top of one done 3 years ago, border layer and quilt bed runner, start and finish Christmas advent stockngs that were for this year but never happened and on and on.....

I am in New York and bought some lovely ombrés and graffic prints at City Quilter yesterday. My plan for 2015 is to make several of Christine Barnes' block exercises in all things colour AND finish the appliqué around the international half-square triangle exchange we did several years ago.
Happy 2015!

From previous comments I have read about Tim Latimer, I had put him down as more of a quilter, almost exclusively a hand quilter at that. He also seemed to me to be a quilt top rescuer - especially the dodgy pieced ones that will not lay flat and have been abandoned by their original maker.

Clara - you plan looks like a good one. I have to admit that a lot of the time this last year, I really haven't felt like buying any more fabric, because I have plenty (for me) that I haven't done anything with. And I have trouble getting to it or having the space to get it out into which is definitely killing my creativity.

My thoughts exactly...Nancy.

Are you sure? Looked to me like he was in the middle of hand quilting several quilts.

Hmmm. Tim's UFO pile doesn't look at all excessive to me.

That guy in the link is just a piecer, not a quilter. There IS a difference!

Lois..you make me laugh !!!

I am hoping to learn a little bit about EQ7 this year too. Be careful about learning the extent of others' UFO. It's the begining of a slippery slope thinking, "Oh, I'm not so bad afterall." , can be dangerous. Ask me how I know?

I'm there, too.

My list is not really a resolution, but goals and lifestyle changes.

First thing to do. FIND MY STUDIO!!!

It's in here somewhere under all this stuff. A lot of stuff gets put in here to be wrapped for Christmas. Or stashed to make room for the Christmas tree. Things like that. The presents are out. Soon the rocking chair and quilt rack will be out. For now, I'm working on the floor, quilting table and misc areas. Nope, I'm not showing before and after. Too shameful.

Later.

The stash relocation programme is a brilliant idea Rosemary.
