November in Review

I'm a person who believes in fresh starts. I love Mondays, the 1st day of every month and especially the 1st day of a new year because I feel so optimistic about what I might accomplish looking forward. Anything is possible on those days. So, happy December 1st to you!

In November I finished 6 UFOs - 4 Project Linus quilts and 2 table toppers. If I could keep up this pace I would be over the moon thrilled... living in Minnesota gives me a LONG winter for quilting but the summers are playtime on the lake and in the garden. The threads need to be flying the next 4 months.
Here is a sampling of what's underfoot in my quilting room. 4 more UFOs and 2 WIPs that should be finished in December. Add in a few more projects from my 100 Day Hustle and Quilting Room lists and it will be a busy but wonderful month.
Thanks to my readers who gave me tips on creating photo mosaics last month~!  I made these quickly using Mosaic Maker at BigHugeLabs.com and I see lots of other fun tools to try someday there too.

I should add that I doubled my followers in November so welcome to each of you!  I'll be having a give-away to celebrate 50 followers or 50 blog posts (whichever comes first) so watch for that.

I'm linking up to Fresh Sewing Day and Small Blog Meet at Lily's Quilts.
