the year end review (or something like it)

2011 in quilts

Apparently, this was the year of the quilt for me. In addition to the ones in the mosaic above, there are two more tops that didn't get quilted, one in the process of being quilted, and two more tops in progress. (And a partridge in a pear tree!) I only knit three things, two of which were worsted-weight socks and one just a wee baby sweater. I think I crocheted a couple of things, but other than the hand-warmers, I can't remember what I hooked. I started teaching at gather here, which has been a wonderful experience, and I hope to continue in the new year. I've got a ton of new quilts planned for classes! As for my other crafty endeavors, I released one softie pattern, but I have a few more that I only need to polish up & release. Maybe I'll finally get to that in the coming weeks since I don't foresee too much sewing getting done. Right now, I'm in a frenzy of nesting. Matt & I are putting the finishing touches on the kiddo's room. He is successfully sleeping by himself there through the night. We're tying up all our loose ends and getting ready for the New Tenant to join us. Fortunately, there isn't much that's left to do, just little last minute things like washing all the crib bedding. I have no idea if this will be my last post for the year or not. In case it is, I want to wish all of you a very happy new year full of love & laughter & all that good stuff. Happy New Year to you all!

These are all beyond fabulous. I don't know how you do it, with the kiddo and all! Anyway, I wish you have a wonderful new year and remaining pregnancy!

These are awesome. I noticed all of the quilts on the wall when I was at Gather Here last night. I have a quilt idea that is going to be one of my big projects for 2012 (though admittedly it is a small quilt). I'll be picking your brain for sure!

I am so in love with you pendant quilts? Not sure if that's what you call them. Also that lion is amazing!
