Happy New Year to everyone. I hope you were able to enjoy time with friends and family over the last few weeks, and if you celebrate in Ukranian then "Z Rizdvom Khrystovym !"
2013 is shaping up to be a great year full of exciting challenges. The first challenge is getting Balanced Needles Knitting & Quilting back in the Top 10 of the MOMpreneur Award of Excellence. At the end of the voting period, January 31, the judges will decide this year's winner from the Top 10 finalists. Please share the contest with everyone you know, and thank you in advance for your continued support.
I've been pondering over designs for awhile, and am almost ready to go from paper sketch to EQ7 pattern for the charity quilt I'm working on in support of the Huntington Society of Canada. The initial quilt will be done using a custom fabric featuring the Hunting Society's amaryllis logo, and both the pattern and fabric will be available for sale once everything is finalized. Proceeds from the pattern sales will go to the Huntington Society of Canada.
I've also been working on finishing up two mystery quilts. Both were designed and organized by Heather Spence, and were organized in support of two worthy causes: 1) a family going through cancer treatments with one of their young sons, and 2) Gospel for Asia's sewing machine projects to provide a source of income for women in Asia and their families. My thoughts on getting involved with both "I may not be able to change the world, but I can help impact the lives of a few people."
I'm still sorting through the bag of tartan remnants that arrived just before Christmas. It's proving very interesting to see what I will have available for customers to choose from, though it is a bit of a daunting task to determine which tartan each of them is.
Until next time,
Desirae
