Here we go 2016

by Julie Hirt

Instead of a New Years resolution or Word of the Year, I chose a phrase for 2016.

Get Shit Done

Doing my best to stick with it and made this little banner. I have it hanging above my sewing machine to remind me.

I save my selvages in a big glass jar on my cutting table.  After a few years it’s starting to get pretty full so I’m stitching them into 8.5″ blocks. Hoping to have enough variety for 64 blocks. I’ve always admired selvage quilts so I’m looking forward to this one.

  1. Love the banner. I need to make one of those.

  2. That is THE BEST New Year’s proclamation I have seen!

  3. HA! I need one of these for each room in the house!

  4. That’s my motto every weekend for myself and my husband. He is napping however…..

  5. That’s what I like…get right to the point. Have been watching a new blog…Quiltville… on
    youtube. It’s very upbeat & will help keep you going.

  6. I’m with you! I have a lot of shit that needs to get finished! Great motto!

  7. Yes! That needs to be my phrase of the year. I started sewing again for a “sense of completion and seeing a finished product” (well that and the fabric I can now hoard)… but the more I sew the longer my list of things I want to make gets!

  8. LOVE your banner! I need to make one of these motivational signs for me too! Thanks for the chuckle.
