It was a busy year, there's no denying it!
and December was no different!
4 quilts quilted for others
prize winnings from Katy and The Fat Quarter Shop
Christmas makes, secret Santa's and stuff that never got its pic taken
Cake! there's always cake
a finished quilt - Secret Garden Stars
my Swoon top pieced
and
of course I got sucked into the #strippytripalong
Its been a great year, though the weather may have sucked at times and my allotment is neglected,
the highlight was going to the Fat Quarterly Retreat in London and, not only meeting up with all the members of the Brit Bee, but meeting so many on-line friends as well as making new ones.
its hard to say what has been my favourite quilt of the year, there were quite a few,
some more stressy (Festival of Quilt Challenge springs to mind!) than others, but this one sums up how I want to remember 2012
soft faded sunshine with happy memories attached
and perhaps as the sun is shining I may be able to get a better pic today!
I'm looking forward to the challenges that 2013 is set to bring,
some are already in the diary
some planned, some complete curve balls
like the shower stopped working, electrician will be here tomorrow :)
so I'm linking this to Lynne's Fresh Sewing Day
2013 - Friends Fun Frolics and Silliness!
(and perhaps a little better organisation along the way!)
You got so much done, its incredible! Have a wonderful 2013, see you in July hopefully!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year and I'm sure that 2013 will be as prolific as previous years. Di x
ReplyDeleteThat star quilt is beautiful! And don't remember that you ramped up your quilting business in 2012 too. That was a huge endeavour and fills your hours even more. Can't wait to see what you accomplish in 2013.
ReplyDeleteGlad you managed to get all your quilting done, and hope you have a stitch filled 2013 :o)
ReplyDeleteHappy new year, see you in July!
