As I sit and write this on New Year’s Eve, I realize I forgot last week. Oops! Things happen during the holidays and I was in the moment of Christmas Eve last week. Actually, traveling! We, my husband and I, have almost always traveled on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. Getting to see both sides of our families is our present to ourselves. I hope your holidays have been happy, healthy and blessed. I hope Santa brought you treasures.

Ringing in the New Year can be happy and sad. What did happen or get made and what still needs to be done. Either way, time just keeps moving along. Reflect on what you have done and celebrate. What awesome things do you look forward to doing? Will you pick a word or phrase for 2025? I usually think about it, then not worry about it. I have some new patterns running around in my head. It will be fun to work them out and get them out there. Coming up first for 2025 is Quilt Week in Daytona Beach in February. I hope to see you there and in class! You can register and see all the events HERE. Become a Brilliant Binder is sold out. The two classes below still have openings!

Tips for year’s end…

#1 – Celebrate your finishes!!

#2 – If it didn’t get done, treat yourself to TIME to finish! It will feel great to be done.

and be safe and celebrate!! Happy New Year!!!!

in quilting,
