Usually I'm a fairly productive quilter. I gravitate to easier patterns because I figure that I will finish more that way. This year was different. I'm calling it "The C'est La Vie Year."
I can't even remember one main reason this year why I didn't get more quilts completed. I cared for Mom as usual. My brother was ill so I did his portion of her care too. And then there was the hand situation. By June I stopped embroidering so that I could finish binding other projects. I couldn't do both and move my hands.
Such is life.
I got baby quilts done though...lots of those were sent out like Remi's quilt and Katie's twin quilts and Charlotte's quilts:
I also made a lot of doll quilts for the kids:
I finished Brett's Cat quilt
And I finished Thomas' book themed quilt:
But other than that, I didn't finish a whole lot. I have 2 quilts to bind but I take my time so as not to aggravate the hand that hasn't had surgery yet. It will take a while.
The thing that I enjoyed most this year was using up my scraps. I loved it more than I expected and I'm still interested in using up my small bits and bobs in quilt tops. And I seem to be always generating more scraps as I go along. But it is so satisfying to have some more room as I complete tops.
