2023 FINISHES
Eight finishes, not a bad tally. I imagine next year's total will be higher since I have more free days with my granddaughter now in school .
The first five are hand quilted ...the last three machine quilted on my almost new Janome 6650.
The FIRST finish is from Lori Holt's book, SCRAPPINESS IS HAPPINESS.
A quick, easy one using charms. My favourite thing about this one is the hand quilting.
SECOND in line was COUNTRY BOY for my great nephew. So fun playing with Lori Holt blocks.
THIRD was a TINY TUESDAY.... long time coming.
Fourth was PLAID from SCRAPPINESS IS HAPPINESS.
Fifth was SPARE SQUARES from SCRAPPINESS IS HAPPINESS
Sixth was SUMMER NIGHTS, a fun sew along from AUNT EM'S QUILTS.
Seventh was Sew Ho Ho ( VINTAGE CHRISTMAS by LORI HOLT).
My favourite of the year...it may have to stay up for the whole winter, lol.
Eighth and last was "Positively".
This year has brought some changes, age can do that. My husband's knee issues are worsening and my hands are worsening. However in the bigger picture we are doing well and adapting, still keeping busy.
The other big change is a quieter house since the nearby grandkids are now all in school, we sure do miss having them here regularly a few days a week. We'll make up for it with sleepovers!
Happy New Year and Quilt on in '24!!!!
So many pretty finishes! It's hard to pick a favorite, but I do love the Summer Nights quilt. I'll have to look for the Scrappiness is Happiness book - looks like you found some great patterns in that one! Happy New Year!
