I like to keep a journal of my quilts at the end of each year.
Many have gone to new homes and some still live with me.
Looking back at a year of projects.
I see I am in a bold color phase
These are not in order of completion.
I loved this Moda Blockheads Stars by Sarah Thomas
It can be two sizes
and
I used Alchemy by Tim Holtz for this one!
It is a kit with all their hand dyed solids included in the kit!
Using Alchemy By Tim Holtz again...
I had to make this Storm Front by Lakeview Quilting
It is a combination of Storm at Sea with a Snails trail pattern
My entry for Cherrywood Challenge Monarch was accepted
This is the 6th time I have entered and have been chosen to travel.
Monarch debuted at the International Quilt Festival in November 2023
It will be at Road To California Quilt Show January 17-20
and
I hope to get there while we are in Yuma, Arizona!
My Lady Di and Graffitti are slated to arrive back home in January some time.
Lady Di even spent some time over in France!!
Man(or woman)...if these quilts could talk
The next challenge is Poppies.
It is due in May

That would be 7 times in a row!

I made a ton of feathers this year.
This pattern is called Aviary by Madi Hastings
I made this one half the size of the original pattern
I used an ombre for this one
This feather was using a panel of Whispering Pines by
I made Tula Pink's Butterfly before.
It is not complicated even though it looks like it would be.

I also tried it with the Avairy Pattern.
My girlfriend gave me a bunch of tiny HST's

Cute as a button!
Justin's friend had their Fourth baby this year!
They deserve more than a little quilt
