Happy New Year!

Are you planning on having some fun

on New Year's Day?

Here is my fun #1 for today.

It's a little free kit

came with my purchase at TQC

last month.

I'm making this snowman ornament

as soon as finish posting this pic on my blog.

As I saw her beautiful prim tree

filled with the cute woolen ornaments,

I started dreaming about having a tree

like hers someday...

So this will be my very first step

to get there!

Then here is my fun #2 for today.

Am I being too ambitious?

It's a new quilty project

based on the private block swap

I had with my Japanese friend Ms. m

early last year.

We set the theme with

"The Civil War Diary Quilt" book

and exchanged four blocks.

And her blocks are all hand pieced!!!

My plan so far is to make a bunch of

HSTs which will be a part of the border

all around the blocks.

Speaking of HSTs,

I'm going to use my new weapon

just received over the holiday

to make HSTs for this quilt.

According to my figure,

I will need 40 of 1 1/2" finish HSTs.

We shall see how it goes...

As the blocks are in lovely

red, pink and chocolate colors,

I named this project as

"Valentine's Quilt".

And the last one,

but definetely not the least,

I'm sharing this beautiful quilt with you.

It was an unexpected gift from

my quilty friend Ms. K

as a part of the Christmas gifts.

To my surprise,

she knew how much I love the red fabrics!

Not only my favorite reds,

but the border fabric is THE favorite one!!

She explained that the backing fabric

was one of the sale fabrics found at

Quilter's Coop we've visited together

back in last summer.

Did I see this lovely fabric there?

Nope!

I remember that she sees every little thing

in each shop we've visited and

occasionally had to remind me

some of my favorites are in the sales bin

as I'm one of those people

who don't see anything for some reason.

I wonder what I'm doing while shopping?

So at the end, she finds so many goodies,

but that wont' happen to me...

 It is still such a great benefit for me

to shop with someone like her,

who is a professional shopper though.

And the prim sign in the first picture

on the top of this post

is also from her.

Thank you Ms. K!!

So that's all for now from me and

 I'm telling you I'm not going to

make a new year's resolutions this year

as I've never achieved one in the past.

But we all know that

we will still enjoy our needlework...
