Best Of 2023



Cheryl of Meadow Mist Designs is hosting Best of 2023 but sure to go by - sign up & visits all the wonderful participants!

I didn't think I'd done that much until I started backtracking my blog post but most definitely want to do more quilting wise in 24!

JANUARY
I got got out some scraps & tried my hand at potholders ,with the insulbrite in-between guess they're hot pads lol


FEBRUARY
I made a small ironing pad to keep beside my machine for pressing those quilt blocks,sure saves time jumping up & down to the ironing board


MARCH
I wanted a spring cottage like quilt,I totally luv it all made with scraps & a heavy robe for those cold mornings



MAY
I made a set of paisley print pillowcases to coordinated with my grey sheets,pulled out some scraps from my jar quilt I'm working on & made up some pot holder/hot pads for my niece


JUNE
I made a few aprons for the kitchen,I'm torn between the farmhouse look & the cottagee look ,I luv them both! also pillows from scraps fabrics for the layneigh 

JULY
I needed & wanted a robe & there was this top sheet that the bottom sheet has been missing for years "I think one of the kids took it by mistake one Christmas while spending the night but no one will confess"😄so I just made a robe out of it lol

AUGUST
more tweaking in the kitchen with pillows matching the apron theme,sweeked out just enough fabric for a table runner& what I think is my favorite for the year,a heavy flannel tie quilt


SEPTEMBER
I was happy that I could participate in Ryan's Case For Smiles again this year,pillowcases are collected for Childrens Cancer Hospitals


OCTOBER
I joined a quilt block drive for children's quilts ,I was  honored to be able to because part of this drive ,I made 46 blocks in various animal prints that will go towards being turned into quilts for a children's cancer hospital


NOVEMBER
2022 did not end well for the little houses quilt it ended up in the scrap bin but this yr I pulled it out took it all apart resized.& reconstructed along with new colors for the borders,the 2023 RSC quilt top is completed,im debating whether to add a border of the little blocks in a light fabric 🤷


DECEMBER
A finish for the long going red & white star quilt top 


So many plans & ideas for the new year, all in all there's just 2 UFOs rolling into 2024
