Best of 2018


I would like to thank Cheryl of Meadow Mist Designs for hosting the "Best Of" linky party again this year.  We could chose 5 posts from the year and that was hard when you do a lot of posts.  Please be sure to visit - and even take part in - HERE.

 

I chose one of my scrappy posts to represent my usual style of quilting.  I do a Monday Making and Scrappy Wednesday post each week, but this one also represents the RSC (Rainbow Scrap Challenge) and my annual quilt for the Pantone color of the year.  I am not a purple fan, but this quilt absolutely thrilled me.  I used the RSC this year to make a full size quilt using the color of the month instead of a select block - so I had a lot of quilts this year.



I like to participate in a lot of blogger Hops and chose THIS ONE because it was also a new technique' to me for the year and I shared a tutorial.  I'll be expanding on this in the New Year as I plan to take a few classes on using different overlay technique's.


I had to select my post for the Pets on Quilts quilt show which I look forward to each year.   Both of my furkids have been top bananas in this show in the past, so this year I chose to enter in the pet themed quilt  catagory. 


Another annual event I like to participate in is the H2H as charity quilts are a priority for me.  I get a lot of scraps and estate fabric clean-outs gifted to me and I feel they should be re-gifted as quilty hugs.  You can read this post for 2018 HERE.


As I stated before, I love doing a lot of the blogger Hops and was thrilled to be invited to participate in the Quilters Meet & Greet which was my most visited post for the year.  THIS POST gave me a chance to show what I am as a quilter and share some of my most memorable quilt moments.

Thank you for stopping by and please be sure to visit the other link ups.

Sewingly Yours,
Sharon

A very productive year. Well done.

Susan said...

One of the things I like about your quilts is that even when you dress them in modern styles, I'm still comfortable with traditional elements I can find in them. =) Beautiful quilts, and the log cabin bordered one (Pets on Quilts) is one of my favorites.

I ended up donating a box of fabric to quilters in Paradise, CA. I have so little quilting time, I wish I could make quilty hugs, maybe in my future.

Oh my favorite energizer bunny of the quilt world. I do love your scrappy quilts. You are such an inspiration!

Suze said...

Sharon, I always look forward to your inspiring, upbeat post and even this old b*&ch (I mean dog) has learned many a trick from you and am looking forward to learning more in 2019, My eyes and ear sure perked up when I saw and heard about overlay techniques. Happy New Year and Belated Birth of Our Savior, my friend!
