First - my favorite larger quilt finishes:
Clockwise from top:
Hello Darling sent to Jack's Basket for Hands2Help.
Those bottom two are well-loved and used daily at our house!
This year I also discovered some new loves in stitching!
Hand-piecing has been fun to learn, and I've done quite a bit of it!
Clockwise from top left:
Another new-to-me type of stitching I've experimented with this year is embroidery. I've found I especially enjoy Gail Pan's designs that are combined with patchwork.
Clockwise from top left:
Unfinished redwork embroidery - I'm planning to turn this one into a zipper pouch.
One basket block and my finished Little Baskets.
Participating in quilt-alongs has given me a chance to try out designs from some of my favorite quilters!
Clockwise from top left:
Beothuk Star with Sandra of mmmquilts
Almost Amish with Lori of Humble Quilts
August Blooms with Carole of From My Carolina Home
And no year would be complete without a bunch of squirrelly projects that were made just for fun and because I wanted to!
Probably my most favorite in this bunch is right in the center, Circle of Sisters.
Thanks for following along on my year-long quilting journey! Hope you've had a great year, too! I'm joining in with Cheryl at Meadow Mist Designs for the Best of 2019 linky party.
Also sharing at SoScrappy for ScrapHappy Saturday and
Quilting is more fun than Housework for Oh Scrap.
I am still going through my photos trying to figure out what I did LOL
ReplyDeleteI enjoy seeing these quilts again. They are all so lovely!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilts. You had a great year.
ReplyDeleteYou always have so much fun with your quilting, Diann! It's a fun adventure to visit your blog and see what's captured your attention in any given week. Great round up for 2019 and I'm looking forward to seeing what you get up to in 2020 :)
ReplyDeleteThat was fun walking down memory lane with you for 2019! You always have such fun ones to check out. Looking forward to seeing what is in store for 2020 for you.
ReplyDeleteThanks for reminding me :(... I have to find my RSC2019 blocks and get them made into a top ( which will claim space on the "to be quilted" rack until I find backing and time to quilt it). Loved seeing all that you've done - that was all of it, right?- this year. I always enjoy checking out your blog to see what's up. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteThanks for a lovely trip back through your quilting year, Diann. You made SEW many wonderful projects in 2019!! I like the way you presented them, too.
ReplyDeleteYour favorites are my favorites also! Your hand stitching and embroidery projects are so pretty, and I've loved following along. By the way, I got a Hobby Lobby gift card for Christmas and just applied it (along with a 40% off coupon!) to Gail Pan's Christmas Loves Patchwork and Embroidery - yay!
ReplyDeleteOnce I get all the sheets and towels done from our company and put the Christmas decorations away, I think I'll join in the Best of 2019. It will give me a chance to see what I've done. ;)
You had an awesome year! Loved reading this post and seeing your quilts and projects again. Hope the new year is just as blessed for you. ;^)
ReplyDeleteSo much quilty goodness packed into one post! It was a delight to review all your yummy creations this year! Awesome!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteFun to see all of these again. It's been a creative year for you! Here's to another in 2020!
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever way to present your 5 favorites list. You've accomplished a lot. I've decided that 2020 should be a year to finish things and get them on to someone who can use them. Happy New Year.

ReplyDeleteIt seems like you tried many new techniques this year! I've always enjoyed new things and hope to learn much more in 2020! You always come up many fun and beautiful projects. I've enjoyed watching from the sidelines!

ReplyDeleteYour posts have been a source of beauty and inspiration and squirrels (remember Vinyl Pouch) for me this year :-) And I would not change a thing with one exception - the wrong ruler mishap. Thank you for sharing and re-sharing your work and most of all THANK YOU for being my quilty sister. Lots of Love, Hugs and Best Wishes to you in the new year!!!
