A Quilter's New Year on Instragram

     

T 'was the night before New Year's and she sat back and sighed

All the blocks that she pieced and the new things she tried

Twenty-two full size quilts were completed, While others set aside

She had such a journey from Rag Quilts to Patchwork all thanks to the push of her little girl, Jessie's Blankie

Three sewing machines she now owned, lived in the bedroom where her little girl had grown

To the photos she posted and those that she liked.  She was grateful for all the new friendships that had formed

For the laughter they shared and the tears, they had shed out of sorrow and joy. Some even over seam ripper frustration

So many had bonded under one CraftyCop, to unite as an army for the BlueRKBlock

Stitchesngiggles, Catching Thread, Olieandevie and so many more enable our addiction to fabrics galore

To the pattern designers who designs we had to try and download. But I put my own twist on each as that is my mode

For the swaps that she joined and a few that she lead. As we mailed off our blocks or our minis, we'd hope and we prayed that those who received them would love the things we had made

In our jammies, we'd craft each Saturday night and we would like and encourage to each other's delight

So now as we begin 2018, we post our intros and goals and wonder where we will end up as begin 2019
