A Look Back at 2011

As I was going through my quilt photos from this past year I realized that I might have finally achieved that delicate and somewhat elusive balance of quilting for others while still finding time to quilt for myself.  My goal was to complete one quilting project a month and I managed 17 this year! So by my calculations....I again have more quilts than I know what to do with  :)   Good thing I gave away 5 quilts at Christmas now I have an excuse to make more in 2012.

Here is a 'year in review' of my quilting projects for 2011. 


January - Seasonal Banner
Hangs in my guest bedroom.


Now resides in my car after the sun fading incident!


February - Asian Tumbler Quilt
Christmas gift for my brother in law and wife.


Christmas gift to sister-in-law and family.



March - Twister Table Runner
For my kitchen table. (don't seem to have a picture of it quilted but it is done)


Lives on the couch in Tim's train room!


April - Twister from Hand Dyed fabrics
For sale!


Gift for friends new baby.


It keeps getting moved around my house, no permanent spot yet.


July - Hopscotch
Christmas gift for my in-laws.


July - Yellow Brick Road
I made two of these for my Moms house. The boys use them when we visit.


August - Summer in the Park
Christmas gift for my other sister in law.


Sept- 3 1/2" Tumbler Runner
Shows up on my kitchen table once in awhile.


Dec - Check out the Stars
It has a special spot right where you see it in the photo :)


Dec - 2011 Mystery
For my son Andrew.


Dec - Scrappy Squares
Not sure who will get this one as I'm not ready to part with it!

Happy New Year!

    A great collection! Your "Seasons" quilt inspired me and I ordered the patterns shortly after you posted them. I got them out, hoping to make them this holiday but it wasn't to be.

    Your year of quilts are beautiful, and your frozen landscape looks very peaceful, serene and a bit cold ;0)
