Done by Valentine’s Day?

I’ve completed a page-long list of goals for the new year, and my little postage stamp project has risen to the top of the priorities list. I spent a few hours yesterday watching football and The Holiday (a personal holiday movie favorite) — and I finished about 20 blocks. I have 51 in the current pile of “done”.

Taunting little red squares — including lovely donations from my quilting peeps.

As I was sewing, I realized that I failed to include the number of blocks needed in my original math calculations. After a little more math this morning, the answer is 285. So… I have about 3 1/2 rows complete. Whew! If I can assemble all of the strips pictured above later today, I will have 77 blocks finished and about 5 of 19 rows completed — that’s about 20 percent completed — feel free to check my math!

Valentine’s Day goal — no problem!

And it’s official (airfare and hotel set), I’m traveling to London for a work January 17-25. Besides Liberty of London (I have my eye on this fabric), do you have a suggestion about where to go for dinner, shopping, or off-the-beaten-path sight-seeing? It’s been a long time since I traveled internationally for work, I’m a bit nervous….
