Word 16 Challenge at Elm Street Quilt's Blog

I was clicking through blogs the other day and I ran into Elm Street Quilt's Word 16 Challenge.  Since I had already blogged about my word, Future, I decided to go for it and make a mini quilt for their challenge.  You can find all the information in the link above.

Here is my little quilt:

The reasons I chose this word are as follows:
1.  The random generator picked it for me :)
2.  With a quilting book coming out these year I am excited about the future.
3.  I am excited about blogging and will continue to do it into the future.

So....if you are inclined check out Elm Street Quilt's challenge and pick a word for yourself.

The Future

One of my friends had a random word generator posted on Facebook that would "tell" you your word for next year.  Always curious, I typed in my name (that's all it needed) and it told me my word was "Future."  I wasn't sure I liked that word, so I tried it again with my full legal name.  I got "future" again.  I guess it was trying to tell me something?!

There are a few things I know the future will bring.  My boys will get bigger.  We will all get older.  My fifth grade students will learn more (hopefully!).  I will make more quilts and blog more.  Blogging is something I never knew I would enjoy so much when I started.  I usually quilt for show and doing little projects instead of big projects is giving me the freedom to create.

But the one I know will happen this year and am most excited about is that I will have a quilting book published by the American Quilter's Society.  It's a big task, but something I have always wanted to do and I am enjoying it.

That's why my future will bring and I am excited to see what happens.

Time to go quilt some more!
