To recap 2010, I started a quiltalong. (I never got all the finishing instructions for the larger quilt, and I feel badly about it. Maybe I will get to that soon.) I joined the Kansas City Modern Quilt Guild and it has been so much fun. I participated in doll quilt swaps and a couple of virtual quilting bees. I made a couple of Quilts for Kids. I did some straight line quilting, and didn't really love it. (I learned how to adjust my machine for better results later on though.) I finally finished my insane quilt project, which I had started in 2002, yikes!
I made a left-handed rotary cutting tutorial. I worked on a collaborative baby quilt with some friends. :) I headed up a charity quilt project with KCMQG.
It was a great year... and I can't believe I've been keeping track of it all on my blog for 5 years now. Thank you for reading along!

ReplyDeleteYou are one of the links in my favorite links page on my blog but I just went and mentioned you in my most recent post.
ReplyDeleteI can never pick just one favorite, so I'll try to keep it short. I love the blue and tan Amish quilt (3 1/2" squares), the A Girl's Best Friend line of batiks (FABULOUS!) and the Love U Flannels. I was also excited to see that they carry Fairy Frost.
ReplyDeleteI suppose, though, that I'd have to say that the Luna II in both colorways is my absolute favorite and so I'm totally crossing my fingers!
Great giveaway week! Happy blogiversary! And thank you so much for making it so great!
