Reviewing the year, or anything for that matter, is fascinating. 2012: Lots of traveling to very photogenic locations…Lucky me; Much cooking, baking, eating, and entertaining was done; Some quilting, some crafting…though less that I’d thought.
What’s not pictured is volunteering, driving in circles, and every day busy-ness of family stuff. All important, even though showing the results of all that is tough to picturefy.
All in all, a nice year. More fun to come in 2013!
In between the holiday treat making and giving; wrapping and unwrapping; greeting and cheer; minor bits of projects were finished just in time to gift for Christmas.
This quilt was made up of blocks from Elizabeth Hartman’s book, Modern Patchwork:12 Quilts to Take You Beyond the Basics.
I confess that I have a thing for house blocks. The block here especially appealed to me with the highlighted window and roofline. The window part gave me chance to highlight some fun fussy cut fabric of photography, dogs, food, and quilts.
I originally planned on the quilt being all house blocks, laid out very much like in the book in staggered rows, but I decided to put a garden full of vegetables (fabric by Alexander Henry) in the middle of the quilt. A community garden.
