Happy New Year

 

Best of 2021

 

I've participated in 'The Best' party every year and I think it is good to go back thru the year's posts to see just what was accomplished - usually more than we think.  Be sure to visit the LINKY PARTY  or maybe even participate.

I took part in many blog hops thru the year, put my piece for the Show Your Stripes hop produced a piece that was on my year's "NEW" list.  It also became a traveling teaching project, which I enjoyed so much.

I used the ONE MONTHLY GOAL for a large part of the year.  It got to pull out a lot of projects and get them done OR finally quilt some tops.  I did manage to empty one tote of 'tops to be quilted' for the year.

I am so proud of my little quild.  We have met around the Covid restrictions - even doing some meetings outdoors when needed.  They all participated in our 'group' entry for Hands2Help and the quilts went to our Community Chatholic Charity office in time fo Easter family baskets.

Our very vintage Heritage roses were fabulous for the year.  This one was in it's full glory when we suddely lost our eldest brother.  My quilting year went on a little hiatus as I grieved and took care of his estate.

Next year I plan to concentrate on more finishing rather that startings.  Things can grow from there.

Merry Christmas

Winter Solstice

 

As the Northern Hemisphere is experiencing the shortest day of the year, the Southern Hemisphere is enjoying the longest.  We haven't had much snow and what little we wake up to is gone shortly.  BUT it is cold!

I've not worked on much of my own pieces, but helping Mom to clean up a few of her 'hidden' treasures.   This Christmas panel with pieced and applique'd  borders was quilted by one of her former students and now I am finishing up the binding.

And a little humor,

Sewingly Yours,
