2017 Planning Party

Yvonne at Quilting JetGirl knows how to get things done!  In fact, she wants to help all of us quilting folks have a productive and purposeful 2017.  So she's hosting a fun 2017 Planning Linky Party, and you are invited!

My sights are still set a bit too high, surely, but at some point all the quilty thoughts must be listed.  It would be awesome to accomplish all most half of this in 2017.

Why Am I Doing This?
#1 To become creative
#2 To learn new techniques
