2016
Another fabulous year of 'LIVING'!!
I met all my goals...
I didn't have any!!
I think life is for living so take every opportunity
and
Enjoy every moment!!
The year started with happy times.....
a brand new grandson, Braydon
Sad times with the loss of Arnold's dad, Roger
A whole lot of adventures...
A cruise in the Carribean
Pretty sure that's why I love blue so much!!
A summer vacation to Osoyoos, BC spent with our second family
Family reunion at Ghost Town Blues in Maple Creek,Sk
A week at the Artisan cabins in Kenosee,Sk
A weekend in Deadwood,South Dakota
Houston Quilt Market and Festival in November
Calving season was blessed with a warm winter
There were two litters of pigs
A litter of puppies
The heat was on this summer...
The baler burned up...
Justin's farm nearly burned down...
(Thanks to all the family and neighbours who came to the rescue!)
As I looked back on this past year,
I was amazed at all the quilting I did.... in between 'living'
A second Farmers wife quilt
Green Bali star
Brady's baby quilt
Toni Whitney Barn scene
Crabapple Hill Flowers
Hoffman challenge butterfly
Bunny Hill's 'Rabbits Love Embroidery'
McKenna Ryan's 'From the Coast'
Country Chic with Quick Curved Ruler
Eric and Heidi's wedding quilt
Cherry sprinkles
Stripology's Quadrants
Maple leaf flag
Tula Pink Butterfly quilt
Presents
Tim Holtz Expedition Bag
Chantel's Weekender bag
Anita's weekender bag
2 small Storms at Sea
Arrow quilt
Arrow table runner
3 Betsy bags
Early bird quilt
With a bonus of meeting Kate Spain in person!!
Our quilt show was very memorable
Especially when you start it off with my very first quilt
(or what's left of it)
I was so sure Irene Roy could restore it
(just kidding, Irene..I wouldn't do that to you!!)
My only regret for the year was that we did not video our show.
It was sooooo good!!
Thank you to all who danced in and out of our lives in 2016
I hope our stitches cross somewhere in the New Year!!!
Thank you for reading!!
I hope you enjoyed and were inspired to live a little more!!
Cheers

DeleteWhew, when you condense a year to a blog post it's pretty overwhelming. I always enjoy the reading and pictures though. Thanks for the entertainment.
ReplyDeleteI hope you paced yourself and read it over a couple of days! I need to start putting warnings of reader overload on some of these posts! Can you believe it's 2017!!!! Happy stitching in the New Year! I look forward to seeing more of your works of art!
