For my last blog post of 2013 I like to look back at my personal quilting projects for the year. As someone who spends a lot of time finished other people quilts I think it is important to find time for my own projects as well. Keeping that balance and taking a few breaks though out the year really helps me keep focused and keep the joy in quilting. I was able to finished two UFO’s this month and have somehow acquired a few more fabric bundles to replace the ones I used up, so much for trying to decrease the pile of pre-cuts!
Here are my quilts for 2013.
April – Mod Pop quilt made from batik fabrics. This one is mine!
April – Isosceles Triangle #1 baby quilt using Reunion fabric collection.
April – Isosceles Triangles #2 baby quilt.
April – Hugs and Kisses quilt I made for my nieces 14th birthday.
June – Alternate Routes quilt - The first pattern Lori and I designed and published under our new Highway 10 Designs name. We used the pattern as Mystery project for our guilds.
June – Serenade Quilt that I donated to the flood victims in Alberta.
July – Curve It Up QAL that I donated to the disaster at Lac-Megantic, Quebec.
July – Batik Tote Bags
August – Grandma’s Star – Mixed modern quilting with a traditional block.
September – Medallion QAL using the Quick Curved Ruler
October – Pedal to the Metal – Second Highway 10 Designs pattern.
November – Not Your Mother’s Rail Fence – Third Highway 10 Designs pattern and I gave this quilt to my Grandmother.
December – Yellow Brick Road in Northern Solitudes fabric.
December – Mirror Mirror in batik fabrics.
I hope you had a productive year in your sewing rooms and that you were able to make a few projects for yourself in 2013!
Happy New Year and all the best in 2014!

ReplyDeleteLove your work. Gorgeous
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on publishing your patterns this year. That is a wonderful accomplishment! At first I thought the Mod Pop was my favorite, but I'm not sure, they are all beautiful. Thanks for taking the time to share on your blog. It is one of my favorites, and I check it often. Best wishes in the new year.
ReplyDeleteWow, Kathy, did you really finish one every month? On top of everyone else's! The medallion from September is a nice pattern, and I really like the Grandmother's Star too. And of course, all the quilting is perfect. :) A satisfying year!
ReplyDeleteI'm amazed at how much you accomplish! And not all simple quilts either. I bought those mod pop rulers after you showed your quilt and have yet to use them! Thanks for sharing all that you do for yourself and for others. You are truly an inspiration!
ReplyDeleteYour quilting is just stunning. I think I would keep the mod pop too! Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYou always have such nice work to share, and seeing it all together like this is a real treat, Kathy. :D I'm intrigued all over again, too, by the ice shot with Hugs n Kisses.
