This year flew by just as quickly as the last and I'm sure next year will as well. Luckily since my mom is awesome she got me a quilt journal several years ago to record my first quilt ever, a King Size t-shirt quilt of all my shirts from high school. Needless to say I was very active and had tons of shirts! I made it out of flannel (hey I didn't know any better) and it's really warm. I made it in my freshman/sophomore years in college, on breaks and during the summer. From there I took a couple classes at a quilt retreat and was hooked. Since I didn't have my own machine, I had to use mom or grandmas. I made a commissioned quilt for a lady in town and loved every minute of it, learning a lot about making t-shirt quilts. So I made a lot with the Brother machine I got for College graduation from my grandparents, aunts, and uncles. In Nov. 2004 I upgraded to a Janome 3050 and continued sewing a lot. Last December I filled up that first quilt journal (you know the green kind found in a lot of the sewing/quilting stores). So I asked for a new one for Christmas. I started quilting in 1998 and finished that book in 2006. Mom gave me a new one and I've been busy filling it this year. Guess what? It's full! I completely filled the whole book in 2007. So I'm on a quest to find another quilt journal tonight. I am starting off this year with a new book I hope to fill as well.

Yep journals fill up fast. I have a scrapbook that covers my first few years. Now I just look at my blog as my journal.
I don't wnat to total it all up because you'd all think I was a freak!!
You've been one very busy lady. I've never kept a quilting journal, hmmmmmmmmm maybe I should give it some thought for the new year.
Wow you sure have been busy! I think you need to buy bigger journals or get two! You will fill them up fast!
I have two journals that I haven't used ... Maybe one of these days I will start! I keep thinking I have to go back and fill in all of the stuff I did which would be impossible.
You've been TAGGED. Check out my blog for details.
