2012 A Scrappy Year

Do you ever look back at a year

and wonder where it went

and if you

accomplished anything?

2012 feels kind of like a blur

it sped by so fast.



As far as

quilty things

I was feeling a little concerned

that I had much more starts than finishes.

It helped to go through my pictures

to remember I actually did

finish a few things.

Tell me if you see a theme here?

Farmers Wife Quilt Along

50 blocks

all from my scraps.

 Modern Chevron Baby Quilt

that I pulled from my blue and cream scraps.

a gift for a special friend :)

 Festive Cheer

A great project to use up

some of my red and green scraps.

 I did get all of the sections pieced together

but, I'm still working on hand appliqueing

the 60 circle centers.

 Great Granny

I loved being part of Lori Holt's quilt along

and using up some of those bright and happy scraps.

 Wild Thing

a quilt for a grand daughter.

 Oh My Stars

a guild challenge quilt

which helped me use up

even more scraps!

Yes, the theme for 2012

was

USE WHAT YOU HAVE!

 I did make a few other projects other than quilts.

A crocheted Chevron Afghan

for my daughter.

 A few wool projects that were gifts

 and charity auction donations.

 and matching pajama pants

for the grandbabies and their stuffed animals.

 In 2012 I joined

several Block of The Month

projects yet to be completed

My New Word I've selected for

2013

is

FINISH!

 It's been so fun to be a Bee's Knees member

 and to make blocks each month

for someone special.

And I'm really looking forward to seeing

what Lori will reveal

for the next rows

on her

Row Along

2013 here we come!
