Biggest news is that I retired in June so I have more time to sew and quilt! We spent a good part of the summer working on outside projects that we have neglected for the past several years including having the house painted on the outside. Fall was spent on the inside of the house, tossing a lot stuff that has accumulated. Now that the holidays are over I can joyfully spend a lot of time in my sewing room!
We did take a trip to St. George, Utah in late August so I wasn't I town when school started. My sisters and their husbands were with us and we had a great time seeing the beautiful scenery and spending a lot of time visiting. It is wonderful when you can count your sisters among your best friends.
In July stepson Eric got married and I made them a quilt in browns to go with their decor. I'll have to post the picture later as it isn't on my iPad!
In October I started my retirement/quilting travels by going to Houston for the International Quilt Festival. I was able to stay with a cousin who lives just north of Houston so that was part of the fun. Both the exhibits and the vendors were phenomenal! I'll be going to Sewing Expo at the end of the month but this time I will be going for the entire time. June will bring the quilt retreat in Leavenworth and this time a friend will be going with me. I've scheduled 2 cruisers, too...Alaska in August for 7 days and the Caribbean for 11 days next February!
I've started the Craftsy BOM this year, purchasing the kit. I've completed the first 2 months, so I'm keeping up! 
I'll post a few more pictures of projects when I get back on my computer and hope to keep this up now...though I've said this before, haven't I?
