My only goal at the beginning of 2019 was to complete 10 projects. I had a lot of WIP’s building up, and I wanted to dedicate some time to finishing them up. I had zero plans to start a business, and no expectations for Instagram.
Here we are at the end of the year. I opened my Etsy shop on August 1st, and have sold a few quilts. I’m looking forward to expanding my inventory in the new year, and putting more of a focus on my shop.
I’m starting 2020 with a “No New Project New Year” – no new projects for at least a month. I have so many tops that need to be basted and quilted, and I have a few projects that I need to finish up before I start working on anything new.
