I'm joining in with Cheryl's 'best of' party this year. She's listed some very simple rules and it's your own creativity and share of your year.
I would have to say my largest numbers of comments and visits are not to one particular post, but to my regular Scrappy Wednesday post in general. The most popular is the Meadow's Mountains quilt and I shared the tutorial HERE. I was looking to use up some of those greens, which that tote is still over flowing.
I limited my vending in 2017 to mostly Heritage Artist featured events. A number of these were at museums that also featured 'living demos'. A new place for me was the Bronk Museum. I will be doing the same for the the new year as I much prefer these venues.
I took some classes this year on new-to-me techniques. I loved the mixture of the Flower Pounding - nature, textures, color, experimenting, and wrap it up with fabric/thread. I plan to revisit this technique in the Spring when things begin to sprout.
This wasn't about the POST, but about the event. My dear bloggy friend and family on their year long venture around the USA in their RV. I was one of their stops! BARBARA @ CatPatches blogged about her visit with us much better than I did. I am not able to travel like this, so enjoying their journey thru Barb's wonderful camera skills and delightful descriptions.
The highlight of the year - being inducted into the Catskill Mountain Quilters Hall of Fame. My mother is an inductee and we are the first mother/daughter (30 yrs between inductions). The post can be found HERE.
My outlook to 2018 will be FOCUS. I will travel a lot being the newly elected President of Hall of Fame. I would like to take a few more classes on new techniques - loom weaving fabrics is in the near future. I will be just vending or demonstrating at Heritage venues. I really need to get that long arm on the frame and the sewing room set up. That translates into re-organizing, which seems I am constantly doing as I have a constant 'gifting' of scraps into the home.
I, also, have two big quilt shows in 2018 to prepare for - one of which I am chairing. AND I have my first ever trunk show in 2018.
Please be sure to visit the others,
Sewingly Yours,
Sharon

2017 was quite a year of "doing" for you, thanks for sharing. I had forgotten I put your Meadows Mountains quilt on my to-do list, it's such a lovely quilt. Best wishes for a successful 2018!
