Back with a new blog

 After quite a long break I've decided to restart my blog on a custom domain as I have not been able to resolve the major problems I was having with Blogger.

My new blog address is:

https://justbaggageenough.com/

I won't be able to answer any comments on this blog and I'm still setting up the new site, mostly posting about sewing :)

I have been reading blogs on and off but unable to post so hopefully I can post now from my address. 

cheers, Jan xx

Homeward Bound

One of this years goals is to keep up with my BOM - Homeward Bound from The Quilt Show. Its a Sarah Fielke design and I had already signed up for her usual BOM and have a few others still waiting to be finished. But now that I'm retired I have no excuse!  I am using mostly Tula Pink fabrics  for this project.

I spent New Years day working on part of the first block, the little cabin in the centre of the quilt.

For Christmas I was given some lovely fabrics and a Spotlight card, I especially love the watercolour flowers. So a bit more added to the stash.

Karen Brown from Just Get it Done is one of my favourite YouTubers and she is doing a 21 day sewing room declutter challenge. Each day is a different task and I found it good last year so I am doing that again. Most of my sewing room is sorted so this years its going to be much less work. Having a scrap system has helped and I had already made lists of UFO's and WIPs that need attention. 

Like a lot of others my goal this year is to only buy fabric needed to complete a specific project and really sew down my stash and scraps this year. Right now I'm working on my RSC blocks - Januarys colour is blue which is good as I have heaps of it! 

Best wishes to you for the New Year and for 2023.
