My Own Little Boycott
Anyway, today I was in dire need of fusible interfacing so I went to the one place where I knew I could get the weight I needed. I got what I needed, and used my 40% off coupon. In the course of the last 6 weeks or so, I have been more supportive of my local quilt shops for small notions, and I enjoy going to them much more than the big box, so although my official boycott is over, I will still be thinking twice about how much of my money goes there vs. my local shops.

January Accomplishments
- Valentines Wall Quilt - pieced, quilted on HQ16, bound, and hung in the living room!
- 2 Cat blocks for Barbara
- 2 State blocks for Mom, winner of the monthly Quilting in Indiana block lottery
- 2 Dog blocks (I had to balance out the cat blocks)...what I will do with these is yet to be determined! Oh, and they still need eyes...am going to raid mom's button jar later this week.
- 2 Thangles Buck-a-Blocks (didn't take a picture of these...you'll see them all someday when I have a set of 12)
- Dog bed for Humane Society donation
- Hand sewed hanging sleeve on Do You See What I See (ok, just realized I haven't even taken a picture of it and it is too dark now to get a good picture, so will post that soon.)
I also went on one small shop hop with my mom to Ady's and Shiisa and spent very little. Got some backing fabric at Ady's and a couple FQs and a book at Shiisa. Had a great day that day tooling around the state with mom and the kids. Oh, and I posted 10 times this month on my blog, which is more than I've ever done in a month. I am trying to post more often so that it doesn't seem so daunting to update it when I finally get around to it! We'll see how that goes this month.
Goals for February are going to be light. I want a little freedom to work on things that inspire me this month.
- Finish a UFO - haven't decided which one, but would like to get one of them taken care of.
- Blocks for bee and Quilters in Indiana lottery
- Catch up on baby presents - three to complete and more babies due this month! I'd like to get at least the three that are already here their presents.
I also have a couple friends who are bringing me quilts for the HQ16 so that I can practice on them. I am going to stay with meandering or loops, but hope that I can get some time on the HQ this month too.
