Any Plans for Crafting Projects for 2019? [View all]

Signed up for 2 classes for Spring semester at UNT, one looks pretty heavy, so not sure how much of my time it will take. I am determined to do more crafting. One thing, it helps my hands. I have nerve damage in my hands from chemo and working my hands and fingers while crafting really helped. I notice my fingers are losing their feeling again since I haven't been using my fingers for sewing.

I wasn't able to work on ornaments. hope to get back to them this year.

I have two quilts that I started hand quilting, both about half way done. I have them upstairs in my sewing room, I am going to bring them downstairs, one at a time, and try to finish the hand quilting while watching TV

I have a pattern for a blue and white quilt, looks easy, I have accumulated a lot of blue and white prints, so I think I will tackle this quilt, next. Granddaughter wants a scrappy quilt, so I need to sort my fabrics and get all the flower scraps together, then find a pattern I like. These two quilts are at the top of my list of projects.

DUer's what are your crafting plans for 2019?

here is an image of the blue white quilt that I am copying the pattern. it is from Cyndi Johnson's Instagram.
