setting a crafty goal...grandmothers garden quilt

I'm not one for resolutions because, lets be honest, 99% of people don't keep them! I think that resolutions were created by someone in the fitness industry to boost their gym memberships at the beginning of the year! So anywho, I have decided that this year I am going to set myself on major craft related goal, I am going to make a grandmothers garden quilt. I actually stared one years ago, spent hours cutting out the hexagon templates, actually got 1 flower done, but I think it was just forgotten about. But this year I start a fresh! In exactly 12 months from now I WILL be sharing with you my completed quilt. I'll also so a wee counter on the side of my blog so I can keep track of how many hexies I create!

I've been getting lots of inspiration on the blogs for my quilt, I love what Retromummy is doing over on her blog.

I will get started this week, because I'm lazy I think I'm going to buy pre cut templates, have you used them? Are they worth it? Or should I just cut my own?

I have a huge scrap stash so will be using them as fabric for the quilt, I may (or will anyway;)) have to buy some extra bits of fabric, just to make sure I have enough :P.

Have you made a grandmothers garden quilt? I would love to see it! Or have you set yourself a craft goal for 2012, would love to hear that too!

Wish me luck as I'm not good at following through with plans, goals, I think I get bored, but this time I will follow through!

Till next time, keep crafting!

PS. Don't forget the first Eastside crafters meet for 2012 is Tue 17th Jan! 7.45pm - 9.45pm. Come to craft and chat!
