yes, another bin! This one is pretty much all civil war reproductions and the like. I have set up a nice little cutting station for this purpose.
I am celebrating my scraps by ordering this new book. I'm excited; hey-- I'm not buying fabric!
Mr. Goodneedle is making good progress too; our soon-to-be porch has all of the beadboard ceiling in place. Since this photo was taken he has boxed in the two skylights on the right.
I'll be happy when he's off that scaffolding once and for all.
Santa brought me a few new pantographs this year, this is one of them, Easy Peasy Baptist Fan. It will be nice to get this quilted and bound. My objective is to have a new "table quilt" for our breakfast table in the kitchen each month of the year. This is the Summer Sampler from Temecula Quilt Co.; a sew-along from 2015, I completed the top in November. More progress!
I got the tree down and ornaments and decorations stowed for another twelve months. Is it just me or does this seem to come around more quickly each year now? It's never as much fun to put away.
We are enjoying this Amaryllis, watching its progress; albeit S-L-O-W, but progress nonetheless.
One more photo-- just because! Mr. Goodneedle celebrated a birthday at the end of 2019.
He had some pretty cute help celebrating too!
So, what's your progress so far for 2020?
Life is Good!

exciting photos mrs g....wonderful progress so far...keeping things IN SIGHT is always good as they are always IN MIND....it's why i love my 'studio' in my living room...and, sigh, yes, i miss my tree already even tho i kept it up a week longer this year...doesn't seem right that my old friends and their memories (ornaments) are out of sight so long...
You are the second blogger I've read who is doing table quilts for each month. A great idea, I wish I had the room to store that many, not to mention the time to make a dozen. Good luck with this venture and I'll be looking forward to seeing each of them.
You and Mr. Goodneedle do so many amazing projects- I made bowl cozies as Christmas gifts for family and friends- 33 to be exact - I have a few left out of the stack and most are earmarked for others. I have started a new watercolor course so I have been gathering things for it - everything needs time and organization. I am grateful that I had bought some things a long time ago in anticipation of doing a watercolor course. I am also glad I bought things at an art supply store so the quality of materials was appropriate for the class.. Still have to figure out a word- As for the Christmas things, some of it has been removed - still have to take down the little tree - It won't take long it is a very small tree.. Happy New Year to you and yours. You are making amazing headway with your vision project. Your quilt is lovely that is on your long arm machine. Warmest regards, Anna
I am working from my stash also. I have started with the pieces and parts cutting them into useable squares.
I am so excited for you about that screened in porch! Wish Mr. G would come build one here next. :) It looks amazing!
I love the Baptist Fan panto.
An elderly neighbor gave me an Amaryllis for Christmas, and it is behind your in growth. I am excited to learn what color it is. She wasn't sure.
Still have my tree and all my decorations up. Christmas went by too quickly and I feel like I didn't get to enjoy them enough.
A belated happy birthday to Mr. G.
