Year in Review - Saying Good-bye to 2020

Hello friends!

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season, even if it did look a little different. Granted, everything has looked different this year and, I'm sure it will continue to do so for the foreseeable future, but there is a light at the end of this long tunnel. Hopefully, when we look back on 2020 many years from now, we will have some good memories to offset the bad.

So let's get to what happened this year.

I didn't set many goals this year other than use up some of my thrift store sheets (🗸), get my quilting studio done (🗸), and try different quilt patterns (🗸).  

Not bad. I also made 12 quilts this year and, only one of them was a Plus quilt.

   

              

                                                                                                                                                    It's definitely been a colorful year. I'm still working on the string blocks that I talked about in my last blog and still having fun making them. I'm pretty happy with all the quilts that I made this year. Looking back at these quilts, I've come to realize that I really like scrappy quilts. So maybe that's what I'll do next year. We'll see.

One thing I plan on doing in 2021 is looking at updating my blog. Maybe moving over to WordPress. 

I haven't decided yet, but I'm not happy with how difficult it is to get pictures where I want them. It can be very frustrating. But we'll see what happens.

Well, that's it for now.

Thank you so much for reading and following along this year.  Here's looking towards a fantastic 2021.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

It's a String Thing

Hello friends!

It's almost Christmas. Are you ready?

I am!! For the first time in many years, I'm a little ahead of schedule. All the presents are wrapped and under the tree. 

This is the first year since I started quilting that I didn't have to put away all my quilting stuff. We use our loft for the Christmas tree, which was also where my quilting space was. But now I have my quilting room, so guess what I've been doing? You guessed it. I've been working on a new quilt.

I've always wanted to make a string quilt but didn't think I had enough scraps. Well, that's not a problem now. So I finally started one and, I'm enjoying the whole process. I can definitely say I will be making more in the future. 

Now a few pictures...

Blocks on the design wall in no particular order.

My working space before I started. (It does not look like this now!)

I'm making a total of 72 string blocks. I have no idea how long this will take to complete, but that's okay because I'm not in a rush to finish. I'm just enjoying the process and we'll see what I end up with.

Thanks for stopping by...and I'll see you in 2021.

Wishing you a Happy Holiday and a joyful New Year!
