New Year, New Word, New Flimsy - Teapots

I should also add to the above a happy quilting year!

This year I'm taking part in a project to try and reduce
the number of quilts waiting to be quilting in my closet and
 tops waiting to be finished - more about this in my next post.

I've given much thought to my chosen word for 2018, there were many
when I jotted them down, this is the one which stood out for me as
something I need in my life.

Balance in my creative pursuits, balance
with regard to a healthy way of living and managing
my health problems,
balance in my dealings with others, in fact I need
balance in my life - full stop!!
So, plenty for me to work on here.

On to the new flimsy, well it's almost a finished flimsy really
because I need to work out the border/borders next.
I struggled to take a decent photo today, light, best placement
of my portable design wall and so on didn't work out.

So, my teapots are all sashed now and I've used quite an
unusual choice of fabric. This was one which shouted
out to me right at the beginning but thinking it was too much
I spent ages trying plains, pattern on pattern and lots of
quiet fabrics, none of which hit the spot.
My original choice won the day.
A better photo will be posted next time.

I have a tub of fabrics waiting to be put into their
respective stash baskets, new Kaffe Collective ones
and the rejects for my sashing and fabrics from other projects,

 hopefully by the end of this week, time permitting and
keeping in mind my chosen word for the year, I shall then have
an empty fabric tub.

 I hope all of you in the USA experiencing the
horrendous weather are somehow finding ways to keep warm and safe.
