2016.
Not my biggest year for projects due to the big surgery
in the spring but I think I finished strong. In the sewing room at least.
My favorites of the year?
Grizzly Paws
Marathon quilting here. Record finish time.
Record pieces. And a couple of "firsts."
Stars Over the Cabin
Another record-breaker here. In size this time.
Just as big a surprise as Grizzly Paws though.
Some scrap-busting as a bonus.
Circling Geese
Well, this last one still needs quilted but I wanted to include it.
It was a big scrappy project that I'm really happy with.
Love the deep colors. While the other two were gifted away,
I may have to keep this just for me. I really wanted to try raffling it off
but I'm still not sure the best way to go about doing this
this for the specific charity I have in mind.
It seems that big projects can either wear you out
or get you excited to do more.
All three of these have left me excited to do more.
Below is a full re-cap, similar to my tab above.
A happy, healthy 2017 to all.
May it be one filled not necessarily with many projects,
but with ones that bring you challenge, enrichment and joy.
