Happy New Year - 2023!

 

Let's get this new year going!!! But first, I'm looking back at my finishes from 2022. Here's Sadie's Christmas ornament, finished in the nick of time.

I made this fun project bag in a guild class.

A fun baby quilt for Noah - 1 of 3 quilts for him.

Noah's first Christmas ornament, made by me.

This was a biggy! After 4 years, I finished the hand quilting on Marshal. I'll always remember this quilt as my breast cancer recover quilt.

And I made this cute little macaroon pouch.

I learned to make feed sack totes, a fun project.

Noah's eye spy quilt! Quilt 2 of 3 for him.

This was another huge project! My cheddar bow tie! It is quilted and the binding is machine stitched on, but....I still have to do the hand stitching on the binding....

Noah's third quilt that matches his nursery.

I made this sewing bag which matches the macaroon bag - it was  bear to make!

Casserole! This was fun to make. It's quilted, but I still need to bind it.

And the finale...my favorite quilt of the year. I named it Swing High! This is the first time I've shared the finished quilt publicly. FYI...I've entered it in a competition...I'll keep you posted.

All in all, it was a very productive year. Plus we added our new grandson to our family. Noah is so sweet and cuddly. And Sadie continues to be a smart, strong girl who loves to learn and play. We have a lot for which to be thankful!

Cheers to a bright new year, with lots of hope and possibilities! Keep your glass half full and focus on kindness and positivity!
