2017 is a whole new quilting adventure

Burn 2016 BURN

~~

What a year.  I'm in awe I made it this far.


So it's been a bumpy year for me.  I have focused on my job and myself a lot.  All good things.

Life has felt like it's been punching left and right.  And I'm just again learning to roll with the punches.

Not always so grand at it...but I'm trying.

#2016bestnine I didn't feel crafty this year...so I'm pleasantly suprised with my top photos.

I nearly forgot that I had such a lovely year...but I did.

Such a hard life!!

Next year is gonna be lovely!  Because I'm using all that I've learned in 2016 and gonna take 2017 and make it through the WHOLE year....

I am so excited that Quilting Jetgirl is doing a goals linky.
I'm adding my own goals to this.

2017 while it's gonna be a roller-coaster ride...I'm going to remember the long haul.

• Tackle some of my Works in Progress (WIP's) so I can eventually purchase some yummy new fabric.
• Use the positive to heal - and heal I shall. 

Yeah for a clean start....

I adore that we can cheer each other on. Check out the other quilters unite as we plan away 2017.

Here's to a whole new year!!

ALYOF final thoughts......

The last three years have been so much fun, Melissa and I have really enjoyed managing and running A Lovely Year of Finishes. 

We have had the opportunity to work with some incredible sponsors and we have been lucky to see so many wonderful finishes, and finish a few projects ourselves.  

That being said, we have decided it is time to take a break from A Lovely Year of Finishes, and it is with heavy hearts that we are announcing the end of A Lovely Year of Finishes. 

We want to thank each and everyone person who linked up with us over the last three years. Give yourselves a huge round of applause, there have been over 3,000 finished projects linked up to our blogs. Talk about amazing!

We want to thank our incredible sponsors.  Your generosity has be unparalleled. 

This doesn't mean that Melissa and I are going away or that our wonderful friendship is ending, merely that we want some time to re-focus ourselves, our blogs, and our sewing.  We are excited for the future and we hope that you will keep up with your finishes.  

The group on Facebook will still be live and you are always welcome to keep posting there if you need some cheer leading!  

Don't forget that if you finished 6 out of 12 finishes this year you are eligible to link up to our finale party that will open on January 1st. Make sure to link to each of your awesome finishes in your blog post (or better yet, show a picture of each one in the post!).

And again, we aren't going anywhere, there will be lots of quilting, sewing and creating on each of our blogs in the coming year, we are just taking a break from this particular project.

Happy Sewing!

Melissa & Shanna
